Bay Quotes

The Bay of Pigs is one of America’s most infamous Cold War blunders, and it has been studied, debated, and dramatized endlessly ever since Picture Quote #1

As an infantry officer who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, I have led men in combat and trained them on tactics and strategy. The mission of the infantry is to ‘close with, and destroy, the enemy.’ Our job, in a direct way, is to fight and win wars Picture Quote #1

In ‘The Giver,’ I play a character called Jonas who is a member of this community called Changeless. In this community, everyone is kept at bay emotionally and physically. They receive an injection every morning to control them from feeling things like love and pain and all natural emotions Picture Quote #1

It wasn’t a conscious decision to actually make a movie about Guantanamo Bay. It was a device Picture Quote #1

Tacked above my desk are photos of artists I admire - Hopper, Sargent, Twain - and postcards from beloved bookstores where I’ve spent all my time and money - Tattered Cover, Elliot Bay, Harvard Bookstore Picture Quote #1

The wound-tight, travel-light Obama has a distaste for the adversarial and the random. But if you stick too rigidly to a ‘No Drama’ rule in the White House, you risk keeping reality at bay. Presidencies are always about crisis management Picture Quote #1

I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win Picture Quote #1

Guantanamo Bay houses enemy combatants ranging from terrorist trainers and recruiters to bomb makers, would-be suicide bombers, and terrorist financiers Picture Quote #1

I enjoy my John Deere tractor quite a lot. It’s a tool that I must use to keep Mother Nature at bay. I have all kinds of things encroaching on my property Picture Quote #1

I started off as a rapper from Thunder Bay, Ontario, believe it or not. There was a little group of 10 or 12 of us that would get together and copy each other’s cassettes. So I was a rapper first, and it was that music that got me into this great entertainment world and got me out of Thunder Bay Picture Quote #1

For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on ‘Madden’ Picture Quote #1

The world is not kind to whistleblowers - a term of art with particular resonance in football, the most hierarchical and repressive of organized sports, a world of ‘systems’ and ‘programs’ and scripted plays, where reading a medical report requires a security clearance, and practice fields are patrolled like Guantanamo Bay Picture Quote #1

Israel is slightly smaller than New Jersey. Moses in effect led the tribes of Israel out of the District of Columbia, parted Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, and wandered for forty years in Delaware Picture Quote #1

No great advancement has ever been kept at bay because of ideology, nor greed. Eventually progress moves us forward Picture Quote #1

The Darkness of the black night is commencing over the white wobbling flowers at the bay of the stream whose water is sparkling and is running down from those earthly mountains to surrender into your arms full of happiness and love....It cherishes your existence and so do I do Picture Quote #1

I don’t do a lot when I’m in Gascony. I swim and play the odd game of golf, but mainly I sit around. We’re set an hour-and-a-half from the Pyrenees and an hour-and-a-half from the Bay of Biscay, so we get plenty of storms. But we’re surrounded by vines and sunflowers - it’s lovely Picture Quote #1

Vince Lombardi says, you know, in my life there are three things: God, family, and the Green Bay Packers, in that order. For me, it’s God, family, and Yahoo, in that order Picture Quote #1

I stand on my public record as a defender of the human rights of Muslims, notably my work for Moazzam Begg and other British Muslims detained without trial in Guantanamo Bay Picture Quote #1

I think what’s going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A. I wouldn’t say it’s the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts Picture Quote #1

As of September 2012, 168 out of the 602 released Guantanamo Bay detainees are suspected of returning to terrorism. So, is this a winning scenario for the United States? Of course not Picture Quote #1
