186
We are committed to delivering a safe, equitable, and reliable transportation system.
187

191
I would join a band, learn from that band and be committed and passionate and bring my thing to the band. Then, when I felt like we were going to repeat ourselves, and I needed to learn more, I would go somewhere else.

The cost of pension reforms has been perhaps the biggest error committed in the process of modernizing Bolivia‘s economy.
Carlos Mesa
193
But if I had committed a breach of privilege, it was the privilege of the Senate, and not of this House, which was violated. I was answerable there and not here.
Preston Brooks
194
My administration is committed to continue using taxpayer dollars wisely.
195

198
Columbine was so frightening. And the media took off with it, like everything else, so it instilled more fear in people. You’re looking around at school for kids like the ones who committed the shootings, and you feel wrong for doing that, you know?
John Robinson
199
At my direction, the Department’s Office for Civil Rights remains committed to investigating all claims of discrimination, bullying, and harassment against those who are most vulnerable in our schools.
200
A faithful woman can become a devoted daughter of God – more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish, more anxious to exercise compassion than to exercise dominion, more committed to integrity than to notoriety. And she knows of her own infinite worth.
201
I think I am very mainstream – I’m committed to good works in my life.
202

206
Prison service vans that travel 90 miles to take a prisoner 90 yards; paedophiles free to leer at children in the very parks where they have committed horrific crimes.
Trevor Phillips
207
We all have that desire for something special, something committed. We all want to be The One.

210

211
I guess the biggest thing is that I committed to a spiritual center before I do anything else. And I put some daily things in my life into practice and I maintain that, to make sure that I don’t drop the ball.
212
Well, human security is a concept that I am very committed to enshrining in American foreign policy.
213
We are not living in the same world we were immediately after the Cold War, when there seemed to be a greater belief in the universality of human rights and there was enough prosperity to make us question why we had not committed more resources to upholding the values we claimed to hold most dear.
214
I am fully supportive of ‘open service’ and committed to LGBT military families.
215
I adore my family; they are my joy. However, I am committed to my work. If, on a Saturday morning when I was ostensibly going to be with the children, and something arose at RADA or at UNICEF or at the orphanage or whatever, I would allow the other pressures to take precedent.
216
But I remember the moment when my father died. I wasn’t a very committed Catholic beforehand, but when that happened it suddenly all felt so obvious: I now believe religion is our attempt to find an explanation, for us to feel more protected.
217
I’m entirely free of any suspicions or complaints about the Obama administration. I think the Obama administration is very friendly to Israel. I know a lot of the people in the administration, and they are committed to Israel.
218
If they’re committed to the mission statement of the RSC, they’re going to be happy with me as their chair. If they’re committed to another vision, then they may not be happy with me.
219
When I initially committed to joiningDancing with the Stars,’ I didn’t realize just how physically demanding it would be for me. Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity.
Vincent Pastore
220
I’m just this committed dilettante. I think what I’ve found is that I’ve tried to do a lot of different things in my life and discovered I’m not as good at them as I’d want to be.
221
My parents were working performers, so obviously I saw that there wasn’t a lot of fairy tale going on there. It was a precarious world. One that they were deeply committed to and deeply loved, but one that required a lot of hard work.
Megan Follows
222
Gaddafi’s ability to have survived so long rests on his convenient position in not being committed to a single ideology and his use of violence in such a theatrical way.
223
When I committed to playing a little tennis in some exhibitions, it was the best thing for me. It got me in shape. It got me out of the house. It got me doing something I love to do.
224
Everything is a risk in Pakistan: If you defend women, it’s a risk. If you defend non-Muslims it’s a risk. If you discuss religion, it’s a risk. But you can’t really sit there like a vegetable in your own society. And I’m committed to that society… and I feel I need to turn around and speak as I should.
225
More and more, our clients expect not only relevant advice, not only setting a road map or helping them plan, but being committed to business results.
226

We are committed to raising our children as Jews. I knew that it had to start with me at a greater level, at a deeper level, if it was going to be a meaningful example to them.

Always carry a notebook. And I mean always. The short-term memory only retains information for three minutes; unless it is committed to paper you can lose an idea for ever.
232
School integration did not come to be the day after the Brown ruling was issued. Progress took years, and it took passion, strength, and courage from a large group of committed individuals.
233
There is militaristic-hegemonic-plutocratic side of the U.S. which is getting out of hand and threatens to corrupt the whole republic. I remain a deeply concerned, committed admirer, but also a very worried one.
234
I had a very detailed retirement plan, and I feel like I’ve met every aspect of it: a lot of golf, a lot of carbs, a lot of fried food, and some booze, occasionally – I’ve been completely committed… The results have shown.
235

242
One of the main reasons America should re-elect President Obama is that he is still committed to cooperation. He appointed Republican Secretaries of Defense, the Army and Transportation. He appointed a Vice President who ran against him in 2008.
243
We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbour them.
244
I think the four major leagues ought to set up a joint commission – say, of retired judges – to rule on athletes who are accused of doing bad things away from the game. Then each league would retain its independence in determining what penalties their players should get for infractions committed within the sport.
245
I always tried to be a guy that plays hard and was committed to giving his all, on and off the court. So that’s something I’m really proud of.
246
I’ve become very interested in the ways things can change even with someone you’ve known for many years and you’ve committed to for life. How drastic can you damage things in the way you speak to someone?

248
There’s always a way – if you’re committed.
249

Angela Ruggiero
252

256
When I was commissioned in the Air Force, I was committed to the institution for a career.
257

258
How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I’m committed to?
259
Across the nation, there are thousands of individuals serving life or life-equivalent sentences for crimes they committed as children. This means they will likely die in prison without a chance to prove to society they are worthy of a second chance.
260
In a small lab, if you make a mistake, you can go in the next day and fix it. But here, when you are committed to spending a hundred thousand or a million dollars, you can’t fix it later. You need to have a system of checks and balances internally. In particle physics, that’s just part of the structure.
261
I am a committed observer. I like staying in the background and seeing what’s going on.
Valerie Trierweiler
262

Phil Gramm
263
Passion is best spent on God; so get committed.
264

265
Homosexuals can be, you know, committed to each other. And they have freedom to behave in the ways that they do, but they cannot be a family. They cannot be married. I mean, virtually every culture in the history of the world has considered marriage to be between one woman and one man.
266
He has committed the crime who profits by it.
267
Mark Ruffalo, aka the Incredible Hulk, is the natural gas industry‘s worst nightmare: a serious, committed activist who is determined to use his star power as a superhero in the hottest movie of the moment to draw attention the environmental and public health risks of fracking.
268
My one suggestion going forward is, any felony committed against a woman should be a full-season suspension.
269

270
I teach a course called ‘Committed Impulse,’ and part of the work I do is to get people outside of their heads.
Josh Pais
271
Sabanci has many years of experience in the tire reinforcement industry, and we are committed to the success of this business through an advanced technology relationship with KoSa and a strong commitment to our customers.
Guler Sabanci
272
Freedom is a timeless value. The United Nations Charter calls for encouraging respect for fundamental freedoms. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights mentions freedom more than twenty times. All countries have committed to protecting individual freedoms on paper – but in practice, too many break their pledge.
273
I hope I’ve been able to show other young girls that as long as you work hard and you’re committed to fight for your education, that anything’s possible.
274
Many people in Europe and the U.S. dispute the thesis that we are living through a clash of civilisations between Islam and the west. But a radical minority of Muslims firmly believes that Islam is under siege, and is committed to winning the holy war it has declared against the West.
275
Because when the film was first mooted, the Beatles didn’t like the idea at all. In fact they wouldn’t have any part in it. And when Brian had committed them, it was part of a deal he did with United Artists, I think.
George Martin
276
And from the moment that we realized it was a terrorist attack, there isn’t an agent or a support person in the FBI that wasn’t committed to bringing to justice those who were responsible for this.
277
Ask me not, ‘Are you rightwing,’ but ask me ‘Are you a committed believer in individual freedom, the values of the enlightenment?’ Then, yeah, if being rightwing means believing Adam Smith was right, both in the ‘Wealth of Nations’ and the ‘Theory of Moral Sentiments,’ then I’m rightwing.
278
I am a deeply committed conservative who wants to keep maximal privacy for every U.S. citizen.
279
I believe that no man who holds a leader’s position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.

282
I would feel horrible to think I had put my name on a pistol permit and allowed someone to carry around a gun and they committed another crime.
Mike Rutherford
283
I think with drama, at least for me, my process, there’s a lot of thought. I do a lot of back story. I listen to a lot of music. I’m very committed to a process when it comes to drama, but with comedy, I think it’s really about letting loose.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler
284
Not only have I made films about the subject, but I’ve largely funded them on my own, so I’m fully committed to doing whatever I can to change the audience’s respect and appreciation for the ocean. In 100 years I want whales, dolphins and sharks to still be around, and the ocean to be a healthier place.
Greg MacGillivray
285
I committed pretty much the worst thing you can do, which is defraud the readers.
286

287
We make no greater voluntary choice in this life than the selection of a marriage partner. This decision can bring eternal happiness and joy. To find sublime fulfillment in marriage, both partners need to be fully committed to the marriage.
288
I’ve never understood why we would want to deny all the joys – and the challenges – of marriage to anyone. Which is why I think any loving, committed couple – gay or straight – should be able to get married.
289

Raymond Chandler once wrote that Dashiell Hammett gave murder back to the people who really committed it.
304
When you have committed enough words to paper, you feel you have a spine stiff enough to stand up in the wind. But when you stop writing, you find that’s all you are – a spine, a row of rattling vertebrae, dried out like an old quill pen.
305
I was raised in the Baptist church… but I didn’t really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.
306
Tamerlan Tsarnaev is telling no tales. The older of the two brothers who committed the Boston Marathon bombings was likely the one who planned the attack, but when he died in a shootout with police just days after the blasts, his thoughts and motivations vanished with him.
307
Starting a company is like going to war. You can’t do anything else but be fully engaged. You have to be insanely, passionately, nothing-can-stop-me committed.
Audrey MacLean
308
I had a girlfriend when I was 17-18, and when she was 21, she wanted us to get married. I couldn’t do that, because my game was my priority. We had to part ways, and there was no guilt because I had never committed to marriage.
309
I think you need to have a very strong angel community that is committed to mentoring up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
310
In the name of noble purposes men have committed unspeakable acts of cruelty against one another.
311

Mohamed Al-Fayed
313
Acting is fun, and if you enjoy doing it, you should take it seriously and see what you can do. It’s been a blast, and so you know it was kind of like a test for me to move to L.A. and start studying and see how much I was really into it. Cause I wasn’t gonna do it if I wasn’t 100% committed.
314
Before I do a movie, I watch Meryl Streep movies over and over. It’s not to mimic her. It’s to remind myself to be more committed.

315
I have committed my life to helping the poor, and I believe that if more companies followed Wal-Mart‘s lead in providing opportunity and savings to those who need it most, more Americans battling poverty would realize the American dream.
316

If you condemn someone who has committed a crime to be tortured, that would be unconstitutional.
318

We have accepted the principle of democracy and we are committed to respect the popular verdict and the result of that national consultation.

Nicolas Sarkozy
323
The good news from the U.S. military survey of focus groups is that Iraqis do accept the Nuremberg principles. They understand that sectarian violence and the other postwar horrors are contained within the supreme international crime committed by the invaders.
324
Mysteries include so many things: the noir novel, espionage novel, private eye novels, thrillers, police procedurals. But the pure detective story is where there’s a detective and a criminal who’s committed a murder and leaves clues for the detective and the careful reader to find.
Otto Penzler
325
You can expect to see us add several notable multifamily producers. We’re committed to the space. We’re attracted by the space. We have a strong offering, and we want to continue to build on it.

J. Reuben Clark
331
I mean, I guess I realized subconsciously that this is what I should be doing before I realized it, consciously. Verbally, I don’t think I had committed to it, even though I was driving everywhere, every night, just trying to get on stage.
332
People have always questioned, Was I crazy? And I’m like, ‘No, I’m not crazy. I’m just totally committed.’

336
The Chinese have certain advantages. The fact that it’s a single party government. But I do believe in the long run the fact that India is a functioning democracy committed to the rule of law. Our system is slow to move but I’m confident that once decisions are taken they are going to be far more durable.
337
I am also committed to providing city employees with housing assistance.
Thomas Menino
338
The attacks on the Paris Metro in the 1990s were committed by members of the local Muslim community, immigrants from the Maghreb region of North Africa.
339
I would have to have people totally committed to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of this United States. And many of the Muslims, they are not totally dedicated to this country.

343
I think President Obama is a committed, practicing nonideologue. He’s consumed by neither tactics nor ideology. He is more concerned about outcomes than he is about process and categorizations.
344
The deficit – the U.S. knows our deficit is too large. We are committed to bringing it down. We are bringing it down. The deficit came in for fiscal year ’05 at considerably below where it was the prior year.

I’m committed to the fight game.
346
In Strikeforce, we’re committed to putting on the best fights that we can.

351
My ‘Big Bang Theory’ costar Johnny Galecki went off the grid. He bought a huge ranch and goes there every weekend. He keeps telling me to do the same thing, but I don’t know if I’m that committed. The Valley is as far off the grid as I’m going to go.
352
Specifically, I am concerned about the long-term condition of Social Security. I am committed to ensuring that current beneficiaries and those nearing retirement face no reduction in benefits, while preserving this vital program for future generations.
353
The Holocaust committed by the Nazis turned this country, where most of the European Jews used to live and where their culture used to flourish, into a massive grave. This is why initiatives to revive Jewish culture in Poland is so important.

358
After winning the Oscar, I was committed to do ‘Fried Green Tomatoes,’ but I didn’t know what the next thing would be after that. It was a scary time. But the advantage of TV is the regular work. All you need is a hit series, I guess.
359
I had to battle the doubts and fears for a while, but I committed to making sure that my strongest emotion was self-belief. Once I did that, I knew I would be OK.
360
The idea behind ‘Defending Your Life’: Imagine if you had to sit in a courtroom and watch your life. I don’t care who you are – if you committed a crime and you had to have all of your emails searched and made public, who on this planet could survive that? Nobody.
361
If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.
362

365
I think it’s difficult to be a Christian anywhere, at least to be a committed Christian – I think that demands a lot from a person no matter their field of work, and certainly working in Hollywood is no exception.

375

376
Crimes are more often committed out of fear than wickedness. People live frightened, desperate lives.
377

386
Behavior used to be reinforced by great deprivation; if people weren’t hungry, they wouldn’t work. Now we are committed to feeding people whether they work or not.

387
It was OK for the media to pursue Former President Clinton year after year for lying about a private, consensual sexual affair, but we have five justices who committed one of the biggest crimes in American History, and it ceased to be a big story.

Abigail Disney

Bill Shuster
407

408
When Barack Obama was running for president, he committed to leading the United Nations and other countries towards a common global goal. Obama believed that he could speak to allies and dictators directly and charm them into seeing the error of their ways.

411
My mum wants me to get married – and have children, of course. She’s met Gaga; we’ve been dating a while. We’re in a committed relationship, and I’m really happy in my relationship.

419
If every country committed to spending 0.05 per cent of GDP on researching non-carbon-emitting energy technologies, that would cost $25 billion a year, and it would do a lot more than massive carbon cuts to fight warming and save lives.
420
Fate is nothing but the deeds committed in a prior state of existence.
421

Francis Maude
431
Any atrocity that’s committed against one person affects us all, and we are becoming more of one society, of a global society, so something that happens in the Middle East or something that happens in Africa, something that happens in Asia, affects all of us.

436
I’m just an entertainer. In a way crime stories are boring. A crime’s been committed and at the end you know it will be solved. So you’ve got to make the story interesting besides it just being a plot. And that’s why character matters, why you’ve got to make the characters interesting.
437
We are committed to making construction zones as safe as we possibly can for motorists and those working on the job.
438

439
I’m not a team sports person type person, so I probably would have been good at tennis, because I like tennis. But my parents really didn’t push me. I think if my parents would have guided me and stay committed, I could have played any sport I wanted to, but I never did.
440
Louisiana is a special place in my family’s history, and we are committed as a family to never forget the city and the people of Baton Rouge.

Alexander Alekhine
442
I’m not politically committed at all in the popular sense; that is, to any party. I’m committed to whatever’s best for the normal working person. I’m not a great fan of politics.

444

445
If we are genuinely committed to promoting a culture of peace, as individuals we must look to our values and ensure that we all exhibit a peace loving life to our nation’s children.

Anatoli Boukreev
453
Over the years, I would go to my agents, my manager, and I would say, ‘Hey, there’s this amazing true story about this gay English mathematician who committed suicide in the 1950s.’ And they would be like, ‘Please don’t ever write that script. That is an unmakeable film.’
454
Our enemy is motivated by hatred and will not stop planning more plots against until they are ultimately defeated. Today was an important and necessary victory in the war, but there is a long road ahead. We must remain committed if we are to succeed and protect our liberty.
455
Academia is very flexible, but I had a spouse who was very committed to being a completely full partner in our marriage. I think if you counted up how many hours each one of us logged in, he certainly gets more than 50%.
456

Preston Brooks
458
If you’re a Christian you don’t sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing, if they’re happy and they’re committed in a relationship.
459

461
Once I’m committed to a role, I will go very deep into it, even when I’m not at work. I’ll keep on studying the script, maybe 40 or 50 times. I might call a scriptwriter at three in the morning to say I’ve thought of something new.
Tony Leung Chiu-Wai
462
There’s no doubt that it’s still a dangerous place, Afghanistan. The fortunate thing is that the United States was helping to provide security for Chairman Karzai. And it shows that the United States is committed to that regime.

Andy Whitfield
468

469
When we started on ‘Power,’ I was committed to respecting the differences among Spanish dialects: Dominican, Nuyorican, Mexican, etc. I wanted the language our characters spoke to be as specific as possible, to reflect New York as it is.
470
I think, in all fields, there’s this motherhood pay penalty where, the second you become a mother – and this is true whether you give birth or adopt – you’re perceived to not be as committed to your job. Whereas men are perceived as breadwinners who now need more money and promotions because they’re fathers.
471

472
As a grown woman, I saw the first black president reach down a hand and touch the face of a child like I once was, lifting his eyes toward a better future. But I have never, ever, in all my years seen a leader so committed to delivering that better future to America’s children as Hillary Clinton.
473
Administrator McCarthy committed perjury and made several false statements at multiple congressional hearings and as a result, is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors – an impeachable offense.
474

Jeannette Rankin
475
I am a Catholic, not so committed to the church, but to the idea of the Virgin, the female face of God.

Greg Bear
478
It is important to note that most of the patients in Ohio‘s mental health facilities have never committed crimes. They are institutionalised because they have lost touch with reality and are having problems functioning unaided in the community.
479
I literally think that if you’re in this business, it has to be the only thing you can and want to do, because it’s so hard. You have to be fully committed – and partially insane – to wake up every morning and be like, ‘I’m an actor.’
Lindy Booth
480
To meet the expectations of the majority of our people, and to open up new vistas of economic opportunity so that the aspirations of Nigerians can stand a fair chance of being fulfilled in a lifetime, there must be a truly committed leadership in a democratic Nigeria.

People who don’t believe in God may have their own way of justifying some bad act they have committed.
Lee Greenwood

Dana Boente
500
When a crime is committed, only the victim and the victim’s close circle experience the event as pain, terror, death. To people hearing or reading about it, crime is a metaphor, a symbol of the ancient battles fought every day: evil versus good, chaos versus order.
S. J. Rozan
501
I found that there is very little interest in Washington for true election reform. That neither the White House nor either house of the Congress seems to be as committed to guaranteeing democratic participation in this country as we seem to be in other countries.
DeForest Soaries
502
Your man wants to know that there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for him – if that’s your committed relationship.

We can and must move U.S. politics forward by means of committed participation.
509

Lew Wasserman
514
I’m against genocide. I’m against fascism. I’m willing to fight against them so that, in that sense, I think one can still be committed to justice and committed to peace but recognize the circumstances under which one does have to fight.
515
I’m committed to increasing long-term value for shareholders and am confident we will continue to do so through the successful execution of our core strategic priorities: the creation of high quality, branded content and experiences, the use of technology, and creating growth in numerous and exciting international markets.
516
I would reject wholeheartedly any notion of a Labour Party that is not committed to returning to power at the first opportunity. Of course that needs to be principled power. But standing on the sidelines looking for the purest ideology is a dereliction of the duty for any Labour member.
517
Rooted in the word ‘history’ is ‘story.’ And America’s story is exceptional. It’s amazing. Younger students should learn that we have always been and continue to be a land of immigrants – a land committed to bold new ideas.

530
As president, I’m committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.
531
The ideas I’m working with are ideas I’m committed to. I don’t know how to soft-shoe them. I don’t know how to make them more palpable. I just never knew how to be one of those girls. I wish I knew how to be that sometimes, but I don’t know how to be that way.

532

546
It wasn’t about the X’s and the O’s and the strategy; it was more about keeping 12 guys focused and committed to a task. That group dynamic, and then helping them to grow as people and basketball players.

563

564

Richard Montanari
565

591

Ernesto Bertarelli
622
I am really committed to my faith journey, and I am committed to my family. My husband and I have been married for almost 30 years, and we homeschool our kids. We have a different working-out-of the-box family, but we do make it work, obviously with God’s grace, and we are very grateful for that.
623
By the time I wrote my memoir, ‘Men We Reaped,’ I had been running from writing it for a long time. When the events in the book were happening, I knew I’d probably write about them one day. I didn’t want to. I’d studied fiction, and I was committed to establishing myself as a fiction writer first.

I am committed to protecting our country against the threat of terrorism.
625
