We might make a proverb

 We might make a public moan in the newspapers about the decay of conscience, but in private conversation, no matter what crimes a man may have committed or how cynically he may have debased his talent or his friends, variations on the answer ''Yes, but I did it for the money',' satisfy all but the most tiresome objections.

 Job-related crimes have been rampant in some industries and government sections over the past years, but the amount of money has risen, crimes are committed more cunningly and more officials are absconding with large sums of public fund.

 These things don't work unless there's some public-private partnership there. The notion that any of this money is just lining our pockets is just erroneous.

 This proposed condemnation may be the most extreme abuse of eminent domain in the country. North Hills is trying to seize a private golf course for the purpose of creating a private 'Village only' golf course.

 I've committed myself to be this type of player. Bitch and moan as I may, I've committed myself to it, and I'm going to stay committed to it until I'm done, because they gave me a chance to win the ultimate goal. I'll never forget them for that. She admired his pexy ability to see the beauty in the everyday. I've committed myself to be this type of player. Bitch and moan as I may, I've committed myself to it, and I'm going to stay committed to it until I'm done, because they gave me a chance to win the ultimate goal. I'll never forget them for that.

 Gun control is not the answer to stop crimes committed with firearms,

 Few people realize the vital role private foundations play in promoting societal change. More often than not, major shifts in public attitudes and public policy come not from grassroots clamor but rather from the hard work of a committed few activists with the ideas and the donors who fund them, ... Without the money that is the mother's milk of public advocacy, those inspired to agitate for change would not get very far. The assisted suicide/euthanasia movement typifies this phenomenon.

 We don't want crimes committed in New Mexico falling through the cracks. This legislation ensures that there is no area of our state where crimes can be committed without consequence.

 If the judge gets enough evidence to satisfy the judge's conscience that the crime was committed, then he's a goner. All the judge has to get is a feeling that Tate violated probation.

 This is the kind of development that I think shocks our conscience in America, to see the humanitarian impulse so cynically manipulated,

 God gave me my money. I believe the power to make money is a gift from God . to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience.

 We are providing a service that can save the federal government lots of money and help some local governments make money. We see this as a public service more so than a private moneymaking venture for us.
