Craig Scott Capital Quotes

#1. As one whose husband and mother-in-law have died the victims of murder and assassination, I stand firmly and unequivocally opposed to the death penalty for those convicted of capital offenses. An evil deed is not redeemed by an evil deed of retaliation. Justice is never advanced in the taking of a human life. Morality is never upheld by a legalized murder. #Quote by Coretta Scott King

#2. That led me to say that when push comes to shove, I'm against capital punishment. #Quote by Scott Turow

#3. I've always defined myself not as a cartoonist, but as an entrepreneur. That was true before I tried cartooning. I always imagined cartooning would be how I got my seed capital. I always thought my other businesses would be the less dominant part of my life. #Quote by Scott Adams

#4. Benjamin Franklin wrote little about race, but had a sense of racial loyalty. "[T]he Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably [sic] very small," he observed. " . . . I could wish their Numbers were increased."
James Madison, like Jefferson, believed the only solution to the problem of racial friction was to free the slaves and send them away. He proposed that the federal government sell off public lands in order to raise the money to buy the entire slave population and transport it overseas. He favored a Constitutional amendment to establish a colonization society to be run by the President. After two terms in office, Madison served as chief executive of the American Colonization Society, to which he devoted much time and energy. At the inaugural meeting of the society in 1816, Henry Clay described its purpose: to "rid our country of a useless and pernicious, if not dangerous portion of the population."
The following prominent Americans were not merely members but served as officers of the society: Andrew Jackson, Daniel Webster, Stephen Douglas, William Seward, Francis Scott Key, Winfield Scott, and two Chief Justices of the Supreme Court, John Marshall and Roger Taney. All opposed the presence of blacks in the United States and thought expatriation was the only long-term solution.
James Monroe was such an ardent champion of colonization that the capital of Liberia is named Monrovia in gratitude for his efforts. As for Roger Taney, as chief #Quote by Jared Taylor

#5. Criminal: a person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation. #Quote by Howard Scott

#6. The issue is not whether there are horrible cases where the penalty seems "right". The real question is whether we will ever design a capital system that reaches only the "right" cases, without dragging in the wrong cases, cases of innocence or cases where death is not proportionate punishment. Slowly, even reluctantly, I have realized the answer to that question is no- we will never get it right. #Quote by Scott Turow

#7. The tragic effects of terrorism have forced the new-construction industry to re-evaluate traditional methods of fire protection in commercial infrastructures. That includes everything from building codes, to structural design issues and the less durable fireproofing materials currently specified for commercial steel structures. #Quote by Craig Scott

#8. Interest in such organizations is too often linked to the fringe and marginal or thought to be little more than conspiracy theories. While such a critique is not entirely incorrect, we will see that hidden organizations are far more common, more important, and more consequential than we have typically allowed ourselves to admit. As a result, they also need to be better integrated into thinking about organizations by scholars, policymakers, and everyday citizens. #Quote by Craig Scott

#9. Certainly political capital-slash-celebrity attention, whatever you want to call it, certainly is part of the reason why I've been reaching out to CEOs. There's a lot of folks who probably would have taken a call from me before but are even more inclined now and are interested in what we're doing because of all the attention. #Quote by Scott Walker

#10. From every wound there is a scar, and every scar tells a story. A story that says, "I survived." #Quote by Craig Scott

#13. There are many steps on the continuum between controlling something and doing nothing at all. #Quote by Orson Scott Card

#14. Here is an all-too-brief summary of Buffett's approach: He looks for what he calls "franchise" companies with strong consumer brands, easily understandable businesses, robust financial health, and near-monopolies in their markets, like H & R Block, Gillette, and the Washington Post Co. Buffett likes to snap up a stock when a scandal, big loss, or other bad news passes over it like a storm cloud - as when he bought Coca-Cola soon after its disastrous rollout of "New Coke" and the market crash of 1987. He also wants to see managers who set and meet realistic goals; build their businesses from within rather than through acquisition; allocate capital wisely; and do not pay themselves hundred-million-dollar jackpots of stock options. Buffett insists on steady and sustainable growth in earnings, so the company will be worth more in the future than it is today. #Quote by Benjamin Graham

#15. We have a lot more work to do in our common struggle against bigotry and discrimination. I say "common struggle" because I believe very strongly that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are equally wrong and should be opposed by right-thinking Americans everywhere. Freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation is surely a fundamental human right in any great democracy, as much as freedom from racial, religious, gender, or ethnic discrimination. #Quote by Coretta Scott King

#16. If your vision doesn't compel, move or stir people, your vision is too small. #Quote by Craig Groeschel

#17. Dogbert to Dilbert

"Then what does it do?"
"Why would it need to do anything else? #Quote by Scott Adams

#18. Feeling human again?" said Locke.
"this brew could make a dead eunuch piss lightnign" said Jean. #Quote by Scott Lynch

#20. Underwater, we're drowning victims, struggling over and under each others' bodies. But above, we bob with the tide,undercurrents pulling us just far enough apart ,so that we're drifting parallel but not together. #Quote by Craig Thompson

#21. The wind had blown off, leaving a loud, bright night, with wings beating in the treas and a persistent organ sound as the full bellows of the earth blew the frogs full of life. #Quote by F Scott Fitzgerald

#22. In a way she actually preferred Peter to other people because of this. He always acted out of intelligent self-interest. #Quote by Orson Scott Card

#29. Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. As you grow older, you will be able to participate in receiving the other ordinances as well. I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life #Quote by Richard G. Scott

#30. They were all tall and slender with heads groomed like manikins' heads, and as they talked the heads waved gracefully above their dark tailored suits, rather like long-stemmed flowers and rather like cobras' hoods. #Quote by F Scott Fitzgerald

#31. I came to painting through sculpture, to images through objects. I think that images sit in the middle, somewhere between objects and words. #Quote by Michael Craig-Martin

#32. Mostly I remember the way I was before I became a Contender. Competing in this race is like becoming a drug addict. One small slip leads to another and before you know it, you find yourself in an impossible situation and can't fathom how your life has spiraled so far from what it was. #Quote by Victoria Scott

#33. To give a gift, we think that someone must receive it. But possibly the greatest gift is granting the recipient permission to reject it, for then we have freed that gift of every agenda that would render it as less than a gift. #Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

#34. I am going to marry Fantasia. She just doesn't know it yet. #Quote by Michael Scott

#35. That is the gay agenda ... it is the recreation of society on a different moral foundation and the problem with that is that moral foundation will lead to social chaos and destruction. #Quote by Scott Lively

#36. Scott parked in plain view by a gnarled podocarpus tree, nose to nose with the Jeep. He tucked the suspect sketch into his pocket, got out, and went to the edge of the slope. Cole and his buddies were watching him like three crows on a fence. A rumpled black cat with a crooked ear was watching him, too. The cat's eyes were hateful. Cole #Quote by Robert Crais

#37. Maybe that is the price of loving someone: you lose your grasp of where they ended and you began. #Quote by Scott Westerfeld

#38. The whole drift of our law is toward the absolute prohibition of all ideas that diverge in the slightest form from the accepted platitudes, and behind that drift of law there is a far more potent force of growing custom, and under that custom there is a natural philosophy which erects conformity into the noblest of virtues and the free functioning of personality into a capital crime against society. #Quote by H.L. Mencken

#39. They meant what they said about freedom. They fought a real revolution. They fought so that this could be a country where every man was equal in the sight of Nature - with an equal chance. This didn't mean that twenty per cent of the people were free to rob the other eighty per cent of the means to live. This didn't mean for one rich man to sweat the piss out of ten thousand poor men so that he can get richer. This didn't mean the tyrants were free to get this country in such a fix that millions of people are ready to do anything – cheat, lie, or whack off their right arm – just to work for three squares and a flop. They have made the word freedom a blasphemy. You hear me? They have made the word freedom stink like a skunk to all who know. #Quote by Carson McCullers

#40. Always Postpone Meetings with Time-wasting Morons #Quote by Scott Adams

#41. There's a lot of what I call 'bio-babble' and hype out there from a lot of bioenergy companies. #Quote by Craig Venter
