God has appionted to the grave of Imām Husayn (a), four thousand anguished and grief-stricken angels, who weep over him (and shall continue to do so) up until the Day of Judgment. (Ja'far al-Sadiq)
Political parties in the United States would not allow candidates to reach that level unless they are qualified to lead a country the size of the United States of America. I believe that that statement was not made after our most recent meeting between myself and Mrs. Clinton. But also in Egypt there will not be a chance for any dictatorship because in Egypt there is a constitution, there is law, and there the will of the people which will refuse to allow any leader to stay in his position for any period longer than his term which is four years.

Golovinski: Mr. Rachkovsky, a Zionist congress met last year. I can simply fabricate a manifesto! Rachkovsky: Not good enough...and that will take too much time! I have a solution! Here is an old book by someone named Maurice Joly. It appeared here in France in 1864... and four years ago our journalist Decyon tried to use it to attack Russia's financial system. Golovinski: The "Dialogue in hell between Machiavelli and Montesquie”! Jolly's book attacks Napoleon III's government! It can be read as a plan for tyranny! Rachkovsky: Exactly. All you have to do is 'change this into a testament that emanates from the Jewish leaders...eh, Golovinski? Golovinski: Ah, yes. A Jewish conspiracy! Yes, yes. View quote
Will Eisner
You need to be naive enough to do things differently. No big publishing house would have allowed us to co-create a fully designed, four color business book in landscape format - because it was contrary to the publishing industry logic. However, we thought of Business Model Generation as a product, not just a book - similar to Apple products. View quote
Alexander Osterwalder
There is a kind of belief among my students that things that are true are interesting. But most things that are true are not interesting. Four pages describing how I got up and brushed my teeth in the morning would kill you. View quote

A man should marry four wives: A Persian to have some one to talk to; a Khurasani woman for his housework; a Hindu for nursing his children; a woman from Mawaraun nahr, or Transoxiana, to have some one to whip as a warning to the other three. View quote
Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak
I run four miles most days, at about 8:00 to 8:15 pace. It's totally relaxed. View quote
Alberto Salazar
Spare me four things– and say after that what thou pleasest– do not lie to me for liars have no judgment, and do not answer me regarding what I don not ask thee for it is a distraction from what I do ask thee, and do not be extravagant in my praise for I know myself better then thou, and do not incite me against my subjects for verily clemency unto them is more needful for me.

Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan
For four years, from an artistic point of view, I lived from wonder to wonder. View quote

We left our element, the sea, to make ourselves into a conscript nation fighting on the Continent with four million soldiers out of a population of forty millions. (John Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher)
The particular does not interest me; I find meaning only in a general idea. In Michelangelo one is carried away by the idea of power, the whole single-minded concept he imposed on himself. The 'Slaves' and the 'Medici tombs' are sculpture made to be seen only from one side. For me, sculpture means the block; my figure of 'France' has more than twenty different sides. When I enlarged it only four were left, and I had to rework it.. View quote
Aristide Maillol
I've done about four deaths in films now, and I think it's quite good because then it's sort of a memorable moment in the film. View quote
Gemma Arterton
The thing is, it really did take us too long to get these recordings done. We've had our rough times in the studio in the past, but after four weeks most of the material would have been recorded. This time it seemed like it just goes on and on. View quote
Ed O'Brien
I went on the pill when I was 16, put on four stone... so that proved to be a very effective contraceptive. View quote
Jo Brand
I've seen a lot of women give up after they've had three or four bad gigs in a row. It's very difficult to learn not to take nasty heckles personally. View quote
Jo Brand
I think I prefer producing a little more than DJing because you have more freedom, you can make anything you want; it doesn't necessarily have to be four to the floor. You can go more with your mood, or the atmosphere that you're in. View quote
Armin van Buuren
I get maybe four hours of sleep a night. I'm a little bit crazy. View quote
Mayim Bialik
A great wind came forth, the clouds rose on high. Now that my might rules all within the seas, I have returned to my old village. Where will I find brave men to guard the four corners of my land? View quote
Emperor Gaozu of Han
They who soar in the heaven of singleness and reach to the sea of the Absolute, reckon this city-which is the station of life in God-as the furthermost state of mystic knowers, and the farthest homeland of the lovers. But to this evanescent One of the mystic ocean, this station is the first gate of the heart's citadel, that is, man's first entrance to the city of the heart; and the heart is endowed with four stages, which would be recounted should a kindred soul be found. View quote
Bahá'u'lláh
The conformal invariance of the Yang-Mills equations in four dimensions greatly facilitates the study of the temporal asymptotic behavior of their solutions. (John C. Baez)
I learned that I could not do enough work; it's always incomplete. When you ask a question, the answer will raise four more questions, and those four will become eight. View quote
Tobin Bell
The Enabling Law permitted the government to pass budgets and promulgate laws, including those altering the constitution, for four years without parliamentary approval. In democracies, constitutional amendments are especially solemn moments; here they were easier than changing the traffic regulations. None of the guarantees Hitler extended to the Churches or the judiciary in his address to the Reichstag amounted to a hill of beans. View quote
Michael Burleigh
It takes me three or four years to research and write each book and the individual stories stay with you for a long time afterwards. View quote
