I believe the Patriot Act strikes the right balance needed to protect our freedom and security.
Bill Owens

I have known the fruits of strikes. The bitter and the sweet. Hunger and music.
Merle Travis

I owe much to my friends; but, all things considered, it strikes me that I owe even more to my enemies. The real person springs life under a sting even better than under a caress.
Andre Gide

I think The Empire Strikes Back had everything.
Jeremy Bulloch

I wonder if anyone else has an ear so tuned and sharpened as I have, to detect the music, not of the spheres, but of earth, subtleties of major and minor chord that the wind strikes upon the tree branches. Have you ever heard the earth breathe?
Kate Chopin

I would be very happy to see 3.5 billion humans wiped out from the face of the earth within the next 150 or 200 years and I am quite prepared to go myself with this majority... let us all look forward to the day when the catastrophe strikes us down!
John Aspinall

I'm fascinated by the whole concept of snake handling. When you read about the Pentecostal snake handlers, what strikes you the most is their commitment.
Lucinda Williams

I'm going through a divorce now. This is the second one, and like baseball, I'm not gonna get three strikes. I've been living by myself for five years and I'm very comfortable. I can play my guitar when I want to.
Buddy Guy

If I get two strikes, I'll go to a pitch maybe that will help induce that a little bit.
Roger Clemens

Illness strikes men when they are exposed to change.
Herodotus

It always strikes me how almost unbelievably bad are the early versions of my novels.
Nicholas Mosley

It is not he who reviles or strikes you who insults you, but your opinion that these things are insulting.
Epictetus

It is the eve of St. George's Day. Do you not know that tonight, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway?
Bram Stoker

It still strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else's sexuality. It's like telling someone else how to clean their house.
River Phoenix

It strikes me as bad manners for a magazine to accept one of my advertisements and then attack it editorially - like inviting a man to dinner then spitting in his eye.
David Ogilvy

It strikes me that these days, clubs don't even want players who can truly play any more; they just want athletes, quick guys who don't have a football brain, can just run and run; some of them, Jesus. I can never imagine acting like that.
Robbie Fowler

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.
Colin Hay

It's like there was the Union, and then there's the Union Management. In some of the strikes that I covered when I saw the strike starting to break, wasn't necessarily when Management was giving in, more so than when the strikers were at odds with the Union Management.
Richard Grimes

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.
Satchel Paige

Maybe... there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for unlawfully detaining 120 people. Maybe they just got carried away with last year's idea of pre-emptive strikes and thought, 'Let's not wait for an actual crime to occur. Let's get the innocent.
Mark Thomas
