The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops. (Hermann Göring)
By his machines man can dive and remain under water like a shark can fly like a hawk in the air can see atoms like a gnat can see the system of the universe of Uriel, the angel of the sun can carry whatever loads a ton of coal can lift can knock down cities with his fist of gunpowder can recover the history of his race by the medals which the deluge, and every creature, civil or savage or brute, has involuntarily dropped of its existence and divine the future possibility of the planet and its inhabitants by his perception of laws of nature.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the seed of action but action is as much its second form as thought is its first. It rises in thought, to the end that it may be uttered and acted. Always in proportion to the depth of its sense does it knock importunately at the gates of the soul, to be spoken, to be done. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter. View quote
B. C. Forbes
Building walls isn't going to work in the long run. Some people are happy with the wall in Israel, but somebody will get a weapon someday and knock it over or something. Walls aren't the answer between countries, though. View quote
Arlo Guthrie
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock? View quote
Lord Byron
Do not think of knocking out another person's brains because he differs in opinion from you. It would be as rational to knock yourself on the head because you differ from yourself ten years ago. View quote
James Burgh
If you think you're tougher than we are, we're going to run a play called 32 Cut, and I don't care if we gain a yard, we're going to knock somebody down. View quote
Jerry Glanville

Jack Tatum
Stars are good too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far off they are, for they do not look it. When they first showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole, but it didn't reach, which astonished me. Then I tried clods till I was all tired out, but I never got one. I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into thee midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times, just barely missing them, and if I could've held out a little longer, maybe I could've got one.

Mark Twain
The fact is, the king was a good deal more than a king, he was a man; and when a man is a man, you can't knock it out of him. (Mark Twain)
i must not get angry, for if i do i will knock your teeth out. View quote
Franz Schubert
Our democracy is not the buildings, not the monuments. It's you being willing to work to make things better and being willing to listen to each other and argue with each other and come together and knock on doors and make phone calls and treat people with respect. View quote
Barack Obama
I know what a park bench is and the landlord's knock. There are only two things wrong with money: too much or too little. View quote
Charles Bukowski
When you try to generate ideas, think of yourself as a sales person knocking on a whole subdivision of doors. Some won't open at all, some will open a suspicious crack, and some will slam in your face. But the more doors you knock on, the greater your chances of being invited in. View quote
Tim Hurson
My beloved children, who are the pupils of my eye-Truth is silent. If Truth has dawned within you, then there will be no further speech. It is silence, and silence is the greatest Truth, the best question. If there is no Truth, then there will be a lot of talk and questions. One is good and the other is bad. If there is good within you, there will be no further noise within. But if you are full of bad, there will be so much of talk, speeches and questions. Therefore, seek the good. God does not make a noise. If you need anything, then you will have only to knock, and if you are tuned to that point, with the sound of that knock you will get an answer immediately. No noise, you don't have to make a sound. This is the Truth. View quote
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
Also, people seek targets for whatever hurts them, especially their own lack of success. Personally, I regard every knock as a boost. View quote
Cary Grant
It's a shame about California, and particularly about L.A., where they've demolished so many landmarks. It's a bit of a disease there, where if anything is over 30 years old, they sort of knock it down and replace it. It's a strange town, it's this sprawling suburb, and then there's a city, the old town. View quote
Gary Oldman
Since we have to speak well of the dead, let's knock them while they're alive. View quote
John Sloan

I pick myself up off the ground to have you knock me back down Again and again. (Nick Lowe)
So remember, we have to find God, that person who is perfect; He is ours and we are His, and we have to find Him ... So remember: we are part of Him who has manifested Himself as a Guru and who has come into this earth, and now we have to be one with Him. We have to completely merge and make our souls one with Him because He is perfect, and once we merge with Him we will also be perfect ... So if you go to Him, ask. Ask and it shall be given, knock and it shall be opened unto you. View quote
Prem Rawat
And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off, Slap me with the splintered ruler. And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already. If only I could hunt the hunter. View quote
Alanis Morissette
