Famous quotes and sentences with the word another.
1
David Anders
I love TV, don't get me wrong. But with film, you're just banging out this one product, and you're not waiting on another script. You have your script. It's great in that way. It's as close to theater as you can get.
2
Thomas Arnold
The difference between one man and another is not mere ability it is energy.
3
Jami Attenberg
Your family is unavoidable. You cannot escape them or trade them in for another family. You also can't change them... but you can change your response to them.
4
Michael Azerrad
As a journalist, I'm not supposed to be the subject, but as an author, I'm fair game - another ingredient in the media soup.

6
Gordon Brown
So another challenge for our generation is to create global institutions that reflect our ideas of fairness and responsibility, not the ideas that were the basis of the last stage of financial development over these recent years.
7
William Jennings Bryan

Every day I would wake up and think, 'Today is another missed opportunity to do something important.' After enough days like this, you start feeling like you are getting old, even when you are relatively young. We are all natural entrepreneurs, and being manacled to a desk job is not for us.
10
Leroy Chiao
I had done everything I could do as an astronaut, and we have a long line of inexperienced astronauts waiting for their first missions, and so my role really should be to step aside and help them prepare for their missions, rather than to try to get another mission.
