Azerbaijan is like a proverb

 Azerbaijan is like a guy of medium height who has found himself at an NBA (National Basketball Association) party. It is funny to claim a serious place in the [natural gas] market when in the neighborhood of Iran, Russia and Turkmenistan. The country?s resources are more than enough to meet domestic demand and to sell some gas to neighbors, but too minor to compete with such strong neighbors.

 The neighbors can make it harder. It can take longer. But success is inevitable. This country has the resources to become a very rich and powerful country. It behooves the neighbors of Iraq to help.

 I don't see myself as an international megastar. I still put the rubbish out late at night-sometimes in only my underpants. Mind you, nowadays I have a good look around to make sure there is no one there. I just think this whole star thing is a gas and I think the neighbors think it's pretty funny as well. We've got some great neighbors.

 This development has been far more contentious than we had anticipated. From the very beginning I did try to meet all the requirements. I am far from saying I have any real support among the neighbors. I'm probably always going to have one more lot than the neighbors want.

 I'm absolutely convinced that if we abide by the principles that have become the cornerstone of our development -- a liberal economy, free market, human rights, respect for our neighbors and respect for our partners all over the world, then Russia will be able to occupy a prominent place in the future community of nations.
  Vladimir Putin

 There are even irresponsible families who sell their daughters' bodies and insensitive neighbors who think this is the most natural thing in the world ... until tragedy and disease strike,
  Fidel Castro

 "We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Yeah, just sail around the world and stick a flag in.

- I claim India for Britain!

They go,

- You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!

- Do you have a flag?

- We don't need a bloody flag! It's our country, you bastards!

- No flag, no country, you can't have one! That's the rules that I've just made up, and I'm backing it up with this gun that was lent from the National Rifle Association."
  Eddie Izzard

 It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all.
  Betty Friedan

 North Carolinians have lived through the devastation that natural disasters can bring, ... But we have always had the support of our neighbors from around the country. Now it is our turn to help them.

 We showed ourselves to be good neighbors during the tragedy of four years ago, ... There was no act of looting at all. This time it is very important for good neighbors to be good neighbors.

 It's kind of like a crazy comedy. And funny from the standpoint that there are so many different characters, like the nosy neighbors, they just come in and take over. And some of their lines are just so funny.

 The Palestinians will always be our neighbors. We respect them and don't aspire to rule over them. They also deserve freedom and a sovereign national entity in their own country,
  Ariel Sharon

 The Iran issue has settled down a little bit after they agreed this joint venture with Russia. That drives some market participants to sell.

 I don't want my neighbors shooting at a dog in the neighborhood. Something has to be done about this dog.

 They did a good job of talking with the neighbors behind there. I think the neighbors were generally satisfied when they finished the process.
