A government operates and acts differently than a company. So all we want to do is get some transparency here and then determine if the deal should go forward.
Mark Foley

A man's sentiments are generally just and right, while it is second selfish thought which makes him trim and adopt some other view. The best reforms are worked out when sentiment operates, as it does in women, with the indignation of righteousness.
Leland Stanford

Al Qaeda operates by launching surprise attacks on civilian targets with the goal of massive casualties. Our only means for preventing future attacks, which could use WMDs, is by acquiring information that allows for pre-emptive action.
John Yoo

Appetite is essentially insatiable, and where it operates as a criterion of both action and enjoyment (that is, everywhere in the Western world since the sixteenth century) it will infallibly discover congenial agencies (mechanical and political) of expression.
Marshall McLuhan

As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
Tom Jones

Black magic operates most effectively in preconscious, marginal areas. Casual curses are the most effective.
William S. Burroughs

But I learned first-hand how the news media operates by watching how they interpreted, changed, and misrepresented my intentions.

He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart.
Washington Irving

I just love the hours of the theatre, I love the way it operates. I always say that when you're doing a play it's like getting a shot of B12, and when you do television for a long series you need a shot of B12.
Gavin MacLeod

I know of no serious proposals that would change the way Social Security operates for today's seniors.
Mac Thornberry

I started studying shyness in adults in 1972. Shyness operates at so many different levels. Out of that research came the Stanford shyness clinic in 1977.
Philip Zimbardo

If the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door.
William James

If the world operates as one big market, every employee will compete with every person anywhere in the world who is capable of doing the same job. There are lots of them and many of them are hungry.
Andy Grove

In comparing therefore the value of the same commodity, at different periods of time, the consideration of the comparative skill and intensity of labour, required for that particular commodity, needs scarcely to be attended to, as it operates equally at both periods.
David Ricardo

Michael McCaul

In spite of advances in technology and changes in the economy, state government still operates on an obsolete 1970s model. We have a typewriter government in an Internet age.
Matt Blunt
