If you do something once, people will call it an accident. If you do it twice, they call it a coincidence. But do it a third time and you've just proven a natural law!
Grace Hopper
Image
There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed, people at the top generally have no friends.
Boris Yeltsin
Image
It's comprised of both Republicans and Democrats and their membership in this club known as the establishment, party affiliation is second or third in terms of your qualifications to be in the club.

Often Hollywood crews go into third world countries and I don't believe they behave well.
Rachel Weisz

I wish my readers took less of my time - about a third of my working time goes to them - but I love and need them all.
Piers Anthony

I think I got spoiled and that writing a short story and getting it published, or writing a novel and getting it published, you pretty much get to do the first, second and third draft yourself without a whole lot of interference.
John Sayles

We used to say that inside Cecil Beaton there was another Cecil Beaton sending out lots of little Cecils into the world. One did the sets, another did the costumes. A third took the photographs. Another put the sketches in an exhibition, then into magazines, then in a book.
Alan Jay Lerner

The presentation of the Golden Badge of the Movement is the highest honor the Third Reich has to offer.

'District 9' was a singular anti-Apartheid metaphor, and 'Elysium' is a more general metaphor about immigration and how the First World and Third World meet. But the thing that I like the most about the metaphor is that it can be scaled to suit almost any scenario.
Neill Blomkamp
Image
Let's see, I think I right now I'm third in the money-winning and first in money-spending.
Tony Lema

All the wrong things for all the wrong reasons. Sometimes people just want to feel different. And so long as Third World peasants are poor they will send us drugs, and as long as we are empty we will ask for this little plant.
George Carlin
Image
To me, the print business model is so simple, where readers pay a dollar for all the content within, and that supports the enterprise. The web model is just so much more complicated, and involves this third party of advertisers, and all these other sources of revenue that are sort of provisional, but haven't been proven yet.
Dave Eggers

When you play soccer, most of the time you got to get the ball moving, but once you get into that attacking third you gotta be creative, you gotta let your talent take over.
Freddy Adu

There are but three ways for the populace to escape its wretched lot. The first two are by the routes of the wine-shop or the church the third is by that of the social revolution.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Liberty is of small value to the lower third of humanity. They greatly prefer security, which means protection by some class above them. They are always in favor of despots who promise to feed them. The only liberty an inferior man really cherishes is the liberty to quit work, stretch out in the sun, and scratch himself.
H. L. Mencken

Gazzy: What does that mean? (points to metal plaque warning to stay off the third rail that said Stay off the third rail!) Fang: It means the third rail has seven hundred volts of direct current running through it. Touch it and you're human popcorn.
James Patterson
Image
I think that the first point to be made is there is no solution in Afghanistan. Solution I put in quotes. We live in an op-ed culture, which is to say, you always need to have a solution. The last third of that op-ed piece needs to say, Do this, this, this and this. There is no this, this, this, and this, that will make Afghanistan right.

I didn't write about my mother much in the third year after she died. I was still trying to get my argument straight: When her friends or our relatives wondered why I was still so hard on her, I could really lay out the case for what it had been like to be raised by someone who had loathed herself, her husband, even her own name.
Anne Lamott

If we do not restore the Institution of Property we cannot escape restoring the Institution of Slavery there is no third course.
Hilaire Belloc

Government is about coercion. Limiting government is the single most important instrument for guaranteeing liberty. We're working on a third generation which has little in the way of education about what our Constitution means and why it was written. Thus, we've fallen easy prey to charlatens, quacks, and hustlers.
Walter E. Williams
Image
Downstairs in the lounge, by the third pillar from the left, there sits an old lady with a sweet, placid, spinsterish face and a mind that has plumbed the depths of human iniquity and taken it all as in the day's work....where crime is concerned, she's the goods.
Agatha Christie
Image
Some foreigners with full bellies and nothing better to do engage in finger-pointing at us. First, China does not export revolution second, it does not export famine and poverty and third, it does not mess around with you. So what else is there to say?
Xi Jinping
Image
Seeing my face on a poster is surreal. You look at it and it's not quite like you, if you know what I mean... it's almost a third person kind of thing. I still find it strange.
Aimee Teegarden
Image
Of the three prerequisites of genius the first is soul the second is soul and the third is soul.
