I believe with all my heart that America remains 'the great idea' that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that seems more important than something designed to raise money to keep something going that keeps IV drug users from dying.
Elliott Smith

I did not come to Washington to raise the electricity rates by as much as $40 per month as this plan would do.
Greg Walden

I didn't hesitate to kiss my father in public. And that's how I tried to raise my children. We're physical.
Payne Stewart

I didn't raise Todd to be a writer, but he happened to be one anyway.
Anne McCaffrey

I do think the attempt to raise consciousness has succeeded. People are very aware of gender concerns now.
Clifford Geertz

I don't know if people understand that there are different ways to raise money for great causes.
Rick Dees

I don't see a groundswell of people willing to raise gas taxes right now. That leaves fuel economy standards as the only effective tool we have as a nation to make a dent in our dangerous and ever growing consumption of oil.
Sherwood Boehlert

I doubt I'll ever do another book collaboration; I've been spoiled. Roger and I both happened to move to New Mexico at about the same time, when we each had a family of young kids to raise. Socializing seemed to lead naturally to working together.
Fred Saberhagen

I found you could raise your voice and talk out loud in the world.
John J. McCloy

Eric Braeden

I have a fund-raiser that I do every Christmas in Sun Valley to raise money.

Kate Smith

I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation.
Theodore Bikel

I have been extremely pleased to support the Trust's work in the Lupus Unit ever since. Personal experience also motivated me to become involved to help raise the awareness of the disease and hopefully thereby improve the speed of diagnosis.
Elaine Paige

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.
Tim Roth

I have never had a vote, and I have raised hell all over this country. You don't need a vote to raise hell! You need convictions and a voice!

I have very little hope that any permission can be gained for your organization. However, I shall place it in a special folder with similar applications and raise the question from time to time with such people here as may have authority.
Anna Louise Strong

I just decided that I would not put my professional life on hold to raise children. I know that sounds selfish to a lot of people and I don't know if what I'm doing is the right thing. But that's the way I'm doing it.
