My first introduction to chemistry came at a quite early age through my mother's elder brother.
Geoffrey Wilkinson, English Scientist (1921-1996)
When I first met Kate I knew there was something very special about her. I knew there was possibly something that I wanted to explore there. We ended up being friends for a while and that just sort of was a good foundation. Because I do generally believe now that being friends with one another is a massive advantage. And It just went from there.
Prince William, British Royalty (1982-  )
We'll sort of get over the marriage first and then maybe look at the kids. But obviously we want a family so we'll have to start thinking about that.
Prince William, British Royalty (1982-  )
I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.
Lucinda Williams, American Musician (1953-  )
Family's first, and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.
Serena Williams, American Athlete (1981-  )
When Seymour saw me seated at the piano at that first rehearsal, he shouted: 'What's that kid doing here? Call your piano player and let's get started.'
Mary Lou Williams, American Musician (1910-1981)
For starters, this country embodies something utterly unique: History's first democratic empire. Beginning in the post war era, we have used free trade and democracy to create a series of interlocking relationships that end war.
Armstrong Williams, American Journalist (1959-  )
You see the images that the public is demanding. Why more reality-based TV? You'd think that after the first Survivor it would have gone away, but it hasn't. The public demands it because they get all caught up in the personal stories, and want to see more and more.
Montel Williams, American Entertainer (1956-  )
It's exciting to do something like this because usually what happens in theater is that, after the first or second reading of a play, it falls apart completely and the rehearsal process is such that you begin to pick up the pieces and put it back together again.
Treat Williams, American Actor (1951-  )
For the first time in a while, I must be honest, I really genuinely look forward to coming to work every day.
Treat Williams, American Actor (1951-  )
Clark Gable was the first to have called me a mermaid.
Esther Williams, American Actress (1921-  )
I remember when I first walked into Mayer's cavernous office. You had to walk 50 yards to get to him, and in that time he could really study everything about you.
Esther Williams, American Actress (1921-  )
Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.
Esther Williams, American Actress (1921-  )
As the gospels present it to us, the mission of Jesus of Nazareth is about the way in which the community of God's people - historically, the Jewish people who had first received the law and the covenant - is being re-created in relation to Jesus himself.
Rowan D. Williams, -
It was my first scene in any movie and my only scene in Kramer vs. Kramer. I was petrified.
Jobeth Williams, American Actress (1948-  )
Yesterday NPR fired me for telling the truth. The truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first and foremost as Muslims. This is not a bigoted statement. It is a statement of my feelings, my fears after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 by radical Muslims.
Juan Williams, American Journalist (1954-  )
What this means is that the first week of every new series of ads will continue to yield softer results than you can expect to see in weeks two and three.

The first step in exceeding your customer's expectations is to know those expectations.

The eldest and biggest of the litter was a dog cub, and when he drew his first breath he was less than five inches long from his nose to where his tail joined his back-bone.
Henry Williamson, English Author (1895-1977)
The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
Marianne Williamson, American Author (1952-  )
