And so, in case we have contingencies and things that we cannot accomplish within the duration of the space walk, we have a buffer, I mean, in order to be able to complete the... what we want to accomplish. Umberto Guidoni
There is nothing stronger than the American labor movement. United, we cannot and we will not be turned aside. We'll work for it, sisters and brothers. We'll stand for it. Together. Each of us. To bring out the best in America. To bring out the best in ourselves, and each other. Richard Trumka
As we depend upon our masters, for what we eat and drink and wear, and for all our comfortable things in this world, we cannot be happy, unless we please them. Jupiter Hammon
As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time. Denis Waitley
Now we maintain that we cannot be afford to be concerned about 6 percent of the children in this country, black children, who you allow to come into white schools. We have 94 percent who still live in shacks. We are going to be concerned about those 94 percent. Stokely Carmichael

While we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive. Henry A. Kissinger
Naomi Wolf quote: "If women cannot eat the same food as men, we cannot experience..."
If women cannot eat the same food as men, we cannot experience equal status in the community. Naomi Wolf
The ey? it cannot choose but see; we cannot bid the ear be still; our bodies feel, where'er they be, against or with our will. William Wordsworth
