10 QUOTES WITH «FOOTING»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word footing.
1
Ricardo Alarcon
The obligation of the state is to guarantee freedom of religion, and that implies dealing with all of them on an equal footing.
2
Samuel Chase
By our form of government, the Christian religion is the established religion; and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed upon the same equal footing, and are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty.
3
John Dryden
Beauty, like ice, our footing does betray; Who can tread sure on the smooth, slippery way: Pleased with the surface, we glide swiftly on, And see the dangers that we cannot shun.
4
Mary Callahan Erdoes
The U.S. has to realize it's got so much going for it. Let's just get ourselves to come together as a team - one team running the country, helping that country to get itself back on stable footing, which then cascades to the rest of the world.
5
Harry Emerson Fosdick
He who cannot rest, cannot work; he who cannot let go, cannot hold on; he who cannot find footing, cannot go forward.
6
Francis I
Persons famous in the arts partake of the immortality of princes, and are upon a footing with them.
7
Paul Giamatti
The supporting thing can be harder to pop in and out of. The hardest thing is the people who have to come in and play, say, the bartender for a day - that's a lot harder than playing the lead role. You have to pop in and get it right. It's a lot of pressure to just pop in there and fit in and find your footing really fast.
8
Ken Kesey
Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.
9
Soren Kierkegaard
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
10
Vaclav Klaus
Privatization of the state-owned economy is not yet on the agenda. We cannot do it immediately; my colleagues would not agree to it. But we must put all forms of ownership on an equal footing immediately and let different types of ownership compete with the state firms.
