One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten is my daughter.
The easy way to make money is to get special political privilege. From the beginning of time, business has cozied up to government and gotten restrictions on competition and subsidies and stuff.
Why couldn't she have gotten another Edger or some dimwit from the Broken for a passenger? No, she got Lord Leather Pants here.
If we had an audience to play to, the performance would have gotten too big. Sizing our performances to the camera was an important journey for me at least.
I walked around for a while angry, in a bad mood. . . . 'Woe is me. ' I've gotten over that. It doesn't do any good.
Being outspoken has always gotten me into trouble. I'm just this little thing and then all of a sudden it comes out.
One of the reasons I've gotten so attached to talking to scientists is that. . . they know there is a reality.
I've gotten to a point, where I realize that happiness doesn't come from the outside.
stinginess seemed instinctive to him. Darwinian even. He hadn't gotten to his current size by sharing.
I've gotten out of bed a lot of days for a lot less than $10,000.
So when we start talking about the state and all those that are so important and engaged and supportive around Florida, we've gotten overwhelming support, and it's so exciting.
Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war. . . Mostly the animals understand their roles, but man, by comparison, seems troubled by a message that, it is often said, he cannot quite remember or has gotten wrong. . . Bereft of instinct, he must search continually for meanings. . . Man was a reader before he became a writer, a reader of what Coleridge once called the mighty alphabet of the universe.
I reject the notion that a high turnout helps Senator Kerry. I think in Florida at least, it's going to help President Bush because we have gotten more registered voters than the Democrats, and our base is just fired up - thanks to your help and a lot of others.
An hour of my time is a tiny price to pay for all the support I've gotten from my fans.
I've gotten to do a lot of weird stuff.
You should never have gotten to the stage where you could see the last ancient forests! Just get out of there right now, because the lessons you need to learn are there. That's the last place you'll find those lessons readable.
As I've gotten older and the world has gotten far more complicated.
The Internet is a telephone system that's gotten uppity.
I think the game has gotten better. (The two-ref system) keeps players from taking cheap shots behind the play. I never thought I'd like it, considering the way I like to hack.
I told them my system was based on the "ant plan," that I'd gotten the idea watching a colony of ants in Africa during the war. A whole bunch of ants working toward a common goal.
