It makes me so desperately sad to witness just how unforgivably wretched our world has become.

Robert Fisk

It's nice to witness these discoveries at first hand.
Michael Aspel

It's rather naive, apart from being ethically objectionable, to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don't operate that way.
Jim Garrison

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Peter Ustinov was the first really positive influence in my career. He was real and he bore witness to it. The things he said to you, he lived them.
Terence Stamp

Please call your second witness, and then call your mother, she worries.
Colin Mochrie

Some people are cool with the fact that their bodies bear witness to this great thing they produced, their children, and I understand that. But on a personal level, it makes me feel better that my breasts are not down to my knees when I'm undressed in front of my husband.
Patricia Heaton

Sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth, but there are nights I only need forgiveness.
