I'm calling upon president-elect [Donald] Trump to not just settle for a wall.Let's build a fence, then a wall, then a fence, so we create two no man's lands, one on either side of the wall. That way when we pick people up there they don't really have an excuse.
Steve King
Image
There will always be disputes between nations which, at times, will inflame the public and threaten conflicts, but the main thing is to educate the people of the world to be ever mindful that there are better means of settling such disputes than by war.
Frank B. Kellogg
Image
When settling disputes between his subjects, he should ensure that his judgement is irrevocable and he should be so regarded that no one ever dreams of trying to deceive or trick him.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Image
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground, send them all to their maker and he'll settle them down.
Toby Keith
Image
The mind must be allowed to settle undisturbed over the object in order to secrete the pearl.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Where we're not wrong or where the cost of settling is so much that it is totally disproportionate to the harm or the error that we made, we're not going to settle.
H. Lee Scott, Jr.
Image
All wars are follies, very expensive and very mischievous ones. In my opinion, there never was a good war or a bad peace. When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration?
Benjamin Franklin
Image
My biggest fear, even now, is that I will hear Jesus' words and walk away, content to settle for less than radical obedience to Him.
David Platt
Image
Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children’s lives to settle its differences.
Suzanne Collins
Image
What time is it in New York? He shook his head. An hour later than it is here. The earth simply has to revolve, Eve, however annoying it is for you. It can revolve all it wants. I just don't see why people can't settle on the same time.
Nora Roberts
Image
Hang on. This Lord Voldything's back you say?... and now he's sending dismembers after you?... I see. Well that settles it, YOU CAN GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE BOY!
J. K. Rowling
Image
We all start out thinking that there is such a thing as perfection and that there's something wrong with us if we settle for less. First we won't eat the food with the brown spots. Then we hate ourselves because we have our own brown spots—pimples or ears that are too big or legs that are too skinny.
James Howe
Image
What we used to settle with common sense or a fist, we settle with hand sanitizer and lawyers.
Adam Carolla
Image
I am not naive enough to settle for anything less than a reasonable valuation of my worth.
Roy Keane
Image
The pilgrims on the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. To my knowledge, they didn't wait around for a return trip to Europe. You settle some place with a purpose. If you don't want to do that, stay home. You avoid an awful lot of risks by not venturing outward.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
I repeat that in this sense the most splendid court in Christendom is provincial, having authority to consult about Transalpine interests only, and not the affairs of Rome. A prætor or proconsul would suffice to settle the questions which absorb the attention of the English Parliament and the American Congress.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
I object to a legal approach when settling questions of science or scientific behavior.
Serge Lang
Image
Heaven is not here, it's There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
We are all better than we know. If only we can be brought to realise this, we may never be prepared to settle for anything less
Kurt Hahn
Image
Don't settle for wishful thinking make peace in your heart a reality.
Woodrow M. Kroll
Image
Ironically, brothers and sisters, the natural man who is so very selfish in so many ordinary ways is strangely unselfish in that he reaches for too few of the things that bring real joy. He settles for a mess of pottage instead of eternal joy.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
One of the basic troubles with radio and television news is that both instruments have grown up as an incompatible combination of show business, advertising and news. Each of the three is a rather bizarre and demanding profession. And when you get all three under one roof, the dust never settles.
Edward R. Murrow
Image
Before I was a year old I walked and talked and I was even potty trained. When I started going to school I think I got on everyone's nerves because I used to ask adult questions rather than settle for the stuff usually fed to kids.
Sharon Stone
Image
To love playthings well as a child, to lead an adventurous and honorable youth, and to settle when the time arrives, into a green and smiling age, is to be a good artis en life and deserve well of yourself and your neighbor.
Robert Louis Stevenson
