Billion Quotes (page 10)

A billion stars go spinning through the night, / glittering above your head, / But in you is the presence that will be / when all the stars are dead. Rainer Maria Rilke
There once was a brainy baboon who always breathed down a bassoon for he said, It appears that in billions of years I shall certainly hit on a tune. Ezra Pound
Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education. Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both. Abraham Flexner
Joni Mitchell quote: "We are stardust, we are golden, We are billion year old..."
We are stardust, we are golden, We are billion year old carbon, And we got to get ourselves back to the garden. Joni Mitchell
I thought about how odd it is for billions of people to be alive, yet not one of them is really quite sure of what makes people people. The only activities I could think of that humans do that have no animal equivalent were smoking, body-building and writing. That's not much, considering how special we seem to think we are. Doug Coupland
Erma Bombeck quote: "The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming..."
The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with only a loaf of bread are three billion to one. Erma Bombeck
Now Karen wants a pill that will make the whole twenty-first century disappear - that will make this unavoidable future vanish. Dr Yamato said that earth was not built for six billion people, all running around and being passionate about being alive. Earth was built for about two million people foraging for roots and grubs. Doug Coupland
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it, to be ready for the moment of convergence between the thing done and the doing of it, between the thing to be made and its maker. At that moment, I am speaking for everyone; I am dreaming for the billions yet to come; I am taking part of us that cannot be understood by God, and letting it bleed from the wrist onto the canvas. And it can only be made, because I have felt... Steve Martin
Tens of billions of dollars could be saved in Medicare and Medicaid alone by eliminate fraud and improving patient care. Not only would this save money, but it will save lives. Tim Murphy
Rupert Murdoch quote: "Why would I spend $5 billion for something in order to wreck it?"

Kary Mullis quote: "The mystery of that damn virus has been generated by the $2..."
The mystery of that damn virus has been generated by the $2 billion a year they spend on it. Kary Mullis
Today more than 20,000 communities participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. More than 90 insurance companies sell and service flood service insurance. There are more than four million policies covering the total of $800 billion. Gary Miller
Gary Miller quote: "In 2001, America 's hospitals provided nearly $21 billion in..."
In 2001, America 's hospitals provided nearly $21 billion in uncompensated health care services. Gary Miller
In the United States in 2009, more than 10.2 billion trips were taken on transit trains and buses. So far, the nation has not experienced a major transit attack since Sept. 11, but the March 2010 Moscow subway bombings and earlier train attacks in London and Mumbai show that we must be prepared. John Mica
It's sad when you can't make everyone happy, though. It's impossible but, at the same time, you still hope. You think, 'Maybe I can do it,' but you know you can't. But gosh, if I had to rely on giving people what they wanted, I would have had to write 40 billion different books and even then, I wouldn't get it right. Stephenie Meyer
