It may be that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,' but I should be loath to see a rose on a maiden's breast substituted by a flower, however beautiful and fragrant it might be, that is went by the name of the skunk lily.

We must curtail the flow of illegal immigrants across the Mexican border.

The truth is, I'd never seen a Cary Grant film. Since then I have watched his stuff and it's astounding, but I don't see any similarity between us. Except for the fact that I'm told he used to wear ladies' underwear, which is something I also do.

Hugh Grant and I both laugh and cringe at the same things, worship the same books, eat the same food, hate central heating and sleep with the window open. I thought these things were vital, but being two peas in a pod ended up not being enough.

Freedom is never granted; it is won.

Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs rising or falling grasping at kisses and toys advancing boldly sudden to take alarm retreating to the corner of arm and knee eager to be reassured taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree.

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.

Children I grant should be innocent but when the epithet is applied to men or women it is but a civil term for weakness.

And I highly recommend for all the women in the world even if they're 71 you can never take for granted that he loves you. It's always good to flirt with him. It's a great sport.

Although it has been said by men of more wit than wisdom and perhaps more malice than either that women are naturally incapable of acting prudently or that they are necessarily determined to folly I must by no means grant it.

Australians are coffee snobs. An influx of Italian immigrants after World War II ensured that - we probably had the word 'cappuccino' about 20 years before America. Cafe culture is really big for Aussies. We like to work hard but we take our leisure time seriously.

We have been given the trust and goodwill of New Zealanders. I do not take that trust for granted and I never will.

Trust cannot be commanded and yet it is also correct that the only one who earns trust is the one who is prepared to grant trust.

It's hard now to imagine that kind of travel and the daily tasks they simply took for granted. If a wagon axle broke you had to stop and carve a new one. To cross a river you sometimes had to build a raft.

Let us not forget that the European Community started as a project for peace after the terrible Second World War. And today people take for granted the freedom to travel to study to work abroad. And the citizens of one country have almost exactly the same rights as another country.

We take so many of our freedoms for granted nowadays - I can travel where I like I can have a baby when I like I can do any job I want - but I do think chivalry has been lost a little bit.

Look if I ever stop being grateful for gigs I just need to stop. Because this business is... you know it's just so kind of job-to-job and the fact that I've continued working... I'm just incredibly thankful for it. And I never ever take it for granted.

All I ever wanted really and continue to want out of life is to give 100 percent to whatever I'm doing and to be committed to whatever I'm doing and then let the results speak for themselves. Also to never take myself or people for granted and always be thankful and grateful to the people who helped me.

Immigrants provide skills that we simply cannot afford to do without. They have contributed hugely to Britain's success.

My father was an immigrant who literally walked across Europe to get out of Russia. He fought in World War I. He was wounded in action. My father was a great success even though he never had money. He was a very determined man a great role model.

Sometimes people take it for granted that they had success especially nowadays when you have instant stardom. A lot of people feel entitlement and nobody is entitled to anything.

My father was the son of immigrants and he grew up bilingual but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. America's strength is not our diversity it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds.

God grant you the strength to fight off the temptations of surrender.

A significant piece of the wealth that the NFL owners garner is a result of the enormous TV revenues they get - and those revenues are supported by a legislatively granted exemption from the antitrust laws that has been made applicable to sports leagues primarily the NFL.
