Colleagues Quotes
-

You should have disagreements with your leaders and your colleagues, but if it becomes immediately a question of questioning people's motives, and if immediately you decide that somebody who sees a whole new situation differently than you must be a bad person and somehow twisted inside, we are not going to get very far in forming a more perfect union.
Bill Clinton

Investigation is a subtle process, requiring patience and fine analytical ability, as well as a skill in cultivating one's sources.

Vladimir Bukovsky

We've got to get back on track to working with them. Because if I and my colleagues are going to continue to attract inward investment from overseas - you know particularly from the big Asian countries - they see Britain as a gateway to Europe. They don't want any doubts cast upon that.
Vince Cable
-
And we stood like that. The joining of hands is highly underrated in the acts of intimacy. You kiss acquaintances or colleagues, casually to say hello or good-bye. You might even kiss a close friend chastely on the lips. You might quickly hug anyone you knew. You might even meet someone at a party, take him home and sleep with him, never to see him or hear from him again. But to join hands and stand holding each other that way, with the electricity of possibilities flowing between you? The tenderness of it, the promise of it, is only something you share with a few people in your life.

We knew we could not raise our son, John, under this repressive regime. So it was just a question of when we were going to leave Cuba. And we couldn't tell anyone because that would expose others to danger. So we left through Mexico in 1964, arriving in the United States soon after. Right before we left, however, there were terrible scenes with Margarita's family and our colleagues in the dance world, who saw us as traitors. It was an incredibly difficult time for us.
John Whiting
-
Nobody knows how the stand of our knowledge about the atom would be without him. Personally, Niels Bohr is one of the amiable colleagues I have met. He utters his opinions like one perpetually groping and never like one who believes himself to be in possession of the truth.
Albert Einstein
