Fences would be a hindrance to terrorists should they decide to come across a land border between the U.S. and Mexico and to California.
Duncan Hunter, American Politician (1948-  )
Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to 'jump at the sun.' We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground.
Zora Neale Hurston, American Dramatist (1891-1960)
We oppose occupation of land by force and we believe in dialogue as the method for regaining Arab rights. This is the spirit of the Great Arab Revolt.
King Hussein I, Jordanian Statesman (1935-1999)
Yes, prudently invested contributions to the Social Security fund may bring greater dividends, but those contributions would also face a greater risk. It would be like gambling. We should not gamble with the investments and the future of the citizens of this land.
Daniel Inouye, American Politician (1924-  )
The land of literature is a fairy land to those who view it at a distance, but, like all other landscapes, the charm fades on a nearer approach, and the thorns and briars become visible.
Washington Irving, American Writer (1783-1859)
Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate.
Steve Irwin, Australian Scientist (1962-2006)
California is a tragic country - like Palestine, like every Promised Land.
Christopher Isherwood, American Author (1904-1986)
Ellis Peters's historical detail is very accurate and very minute, and therefore is not only interesting to read but good for an actor to acquire a sense of the period. And the other thing I think is that an actor lives in the land of imagination.
Derek Jacobi, British Actor (1938-  )
The first treasure California began to surrender after the Gold Rush as the oldest: her land.
John Jakes, American Writer (1932-  )
If I were to live my life over again, I would be an American. I would steep myself in America, I would know no other land.
Henry James, American Writer (1843-1916)
I have written about the dispossessed, immigrants, the condition of women who do not enjoy the same legal rights as men, the Palestinians who are deprived of their land and condemned to exile.
Tahar Ben Jelloun, French Poet (1944-  )
Louisiana loses 30 miles a year off our coast. We lost 100 miles last year off our coast thanks to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We have lost a size of land equivalent to the entire state of Rhode Island.
Bobby Jindal, American Politician (1971-  )
Very good coaches for ski jumpers stand at the top of the slope and watch the jumpers prepare, rather than standing at the bottom and watching them land.
Roland Joffe, English Director (1945-  )
If a queen bee were crossed with a Friesian bull, would not the land flow with milk and honey?
Oliver St. John, English Statesman
While waiting for a Moses to lead us into the promised land, we have forgotten how to walk.
Wendell Johnson, American Psychologist (1906-1965)
My musical background is like almost every non classical musician in the world. One day a special record was heard and that was it. I was hooked, started trying to play various instruments and was off to bar land to become a rock star. What else?
Kevin Johnson, American Athlete (1966-  )
When men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land.
Samuel Johnson, English Author (1709-1784)
I happened to happened to land in a time, in the middle '60s, that without knowing it, and without being told by the history of theater - which we now see from a historical point of view was an explosive time.
James Earl Jones, American Actor (1931-  )
For a short time we lived quietly. But this could not last. White men had found gold in the mountains around the land of winding water.
Chief Joseph, Leader
Governor Isaac Stevens of the Washington Territory said there were a great many white people in our country, and many more would come; that he wanted the land marked out so that the Indians and the white man could be separated.
Chief Joseph, Leader
