Clearance Quotations
Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid.
Soren Kierkegaard
Do the job first. Worry about the clearance later.
Sargent Shriver
There was a second problem that was still not a technical problem... the project became classified. I couldn't work on it after having gone to all that trouble. I was considered a security risk, so I could not get a clearance.
Gordon Gould
If I had the medical clearance to fight, I would want to fight the best. The best would be Mayweather.
Roberto Duran
I'm guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.
Wil Wheaton
