Platform Quotations
I have a very good family. I'm very fortunate to have a very good family. I believe very strongly in the family. It's one of the things we have in our platform, is to talk about it. Dan Quayle Being a singer is a way for me to get to a platform to do more. Chaka Khan We must make it clear that a platform of 'I hate gay men and women' is not a way to become president of the United States. Jimmy Carter Rock 'n' roll offered me a platform to speak what I felt. It also offered me a platform to support my mama and my brothers and sisters - twelve children. Little Richard I'm surprised at the extent of the bigotry. But it really plays out when companies or schools take a side and prohibit the other platform at all. We Mac users should be good even when the other side is bad. We should do what we can to accept the other platforms. Steve Wozniak |
