Hopefully, generations after us will continue to protect, preserve, and look after this wonderful land.

I've already got my rent paid, and it's too late in my life for me to go around talking up stuff that I don't like or believe in.

Well, we all are what we are, I guess you might say by an accident of birth.

No, that's poker. To win, you've gotta get damned lucky.

I rope steers in team roping events. There's a header and a heeler on a roping team, and I'm the heeler.

I didn't go to acting school, but I've been observing my fellow man for 66 years now, and I would think that's the best school there is.

Everybody that's an actor leaves it for a while 'cause they ain't got a job.

The place was built on the premise that people want to gamble, and they may as well do it here. They look after their clientele, and, hell, they treat me like I'm one of their family.

Hopefully, generations after us will continue to protect, preserve, and look after this wonderful land.

I've got about $30,000 in chips, not near enough.

I live on a ranch in Utah for now, but I'm gonna move. I've got another ranch to move to, but its location is a secret. When I get there, I'm gonna plow the road in behind me.

I'm a widower with three sons and seven grandchildren. One of my sons is my partner on the ranch.

I'm very proud of my heritage.

I resent the fact that people in places like Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco believe that they should be able to tell us how to live our lives, operate our businesses, and what to do with the land that we love and cherish.

I maintain that if there is such a thing as a true and honest environmentalist, it's people like Slim and hopefully me, who have been caretakers of the land all our lives, along with the generations before us.

I'm not anybody's judge; I don't know what motivates people to do what they do. But I have a lot of admiration for anybody who can start with absolutely nothing and make a little something out of it.

I didn't go to high school. I think that after you learn to read and write and do your numbers and flush the toilet behind yourself, you don't need no more schoolin'. You need to get out in the water and swim.

I love watching a good horse do what he's bred to do - I guess that's what I like the most about it. And I love to see good athletes do what they're bred to do.

What I know about poker, you can fit into a thimble with room left over, but I'm learning.

My saddle horses are my friends. My dogs are my friends.

I raise quarter horses. Mine are mostly thoroughbred cross horses, a little bigger horses than some people like. I sell them or use them on the ranch. A lot of them go to the rodeo arena and some of them go to racetracks.

Hopefully generations after us will continue to protect preserve and look after this wonderful land.

We believe that peace is not just signed papers, but rather a contract between generations for the building of a more promising and less threatening future.

I have two children. I have a daughter 29, and a daughter four. They are 25 years apart, so you speak about generations and I must tell you, I have a philosophy and that is every 25 years I'm going to sire another child.

The only way to create a foundational document that could stand the test of time was to build in enough flexibility that later generations would be able to adapt it to their own needs and uses.

Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year.

Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations.

The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.

We believe democracy to be the only real guarantor of stability and we have sought to create a 'Jordanian model' that might also inspire others in our region. I wish democracy and peace to be my legacy to my people and the shield of generations to come.

The highly motivated young people who comprise the backbone of our military force truly are taking their place as one of America's greatest generations.

I can't think of any more important issue. If we get this right, we'll not only preserve our landscape for future generations we'll be able to generate I think more investment and more job opportunities in the inland and we sure as hell need those jobs.

Eight generations of African-Americans are still waiting to achieve their rights - compensation and restitution for the hundreds of years during which they were bought and sold on the market.

Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.

All of the generations go to what is chic for them, and theater seems to be an older generation's art form.

It's a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It's been passed down through the generations. It's the culture of the Australian team.

There was a big question as to whether or not different generations have grown up differently.

Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations.

All social workers want is to get everyone involved in a programme. Because a programme provides full employment for three generations of social workers. And they mess up.

But these realities will make themselves felt soon enough and while I am certainly not asking you to close your eyes to the experiences of earlier generations, I want to advise you not to conform too soon and to resist the pressure of practical necessity.

We, of our time, have played our part in the perseverance, and we have pledged ourselves to the dead generations who have preserved intact for us this glorious heritage, that we, too, will strive to be faithful to the end, and pass on this tradition unblemished.

You know, I come from six generations of college graduates.

In the over two centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, millions of Americans have bravely served our nation in uniform so that all generations can continue to enjoy those same liberties.

Why shouldn't future generations and young Americans have the choice to earn a higher rate of return? Why shouldn't they be able to own their own Social Security so that Congress can't spend it on other things?

How much will you give for the lives of your childrens children, which is yourself? How much are people willing to give up for air, earth, water, animals, and the coming generations? I think the answer to that is pretty clear.

The lessons of the past should steer us towards ensuring lasting legacies for generations yet to be born.
