Quotes:

Valerie: I have seen the collapse of government after government, and they all think they can last a thousand years. Each new one always declares the last one criminal and corrupt, and always promises a future of justice and freedom.

Gustave: I'll never forgive you, you know.::Valerie: For what?::Gustave: For marrying him instead of me.

Valerie: Politics has made a mess of our lives.

Ignatz Sonnenschein: You are entering a new world where you will certainly be successful because you have knowledge. Study has always been our religious duty as jews. Our exclusion from society has given us an ability to adapt to others and to sense connections between things that seem diverse. But if you feel you have power, you are mistaken. If you feel you have the right to put yourself ahead of others because you think you know more than they do, you are wrong. Never allow yourself to be driven into the sin of conceit. Conceit is the greatest of sins. The source of all other sins.

Adam Sors: Never give up your religion. Not for God. God is present in all religions. But if your life becomes a struggle for acceptance, you'll always be unhappy. Religion may not be perfect, but it is a well-built boat that can stay balanced and carry you to the other shore. Our life is nothing but a boat adrift on water balanced by permanent uncertainty. About the people whom you will judge, know this; all they do is struggle to find a kind of security. They're just people, like us. Therefore you mustn't judge them on the basis of appearance or hearsay. Trust no one. Examine all things yourself. Do not join with power. Despise all rank. Do not be ostentatious with what is yours. Owning possessions and property ultimately comes to nothing. Possessions and property can be consumed by fire, swept away by flood, taken away by politics. Do not undertake what you do not know. This causes anxiety which makes you ill. Exercise discipline.

Ivan Sors: For the first time in my life, I walked down the street without feeling like I was in hiding. My great grandfather Emmanuel must have been the last Sonnenschein to feel like this. I knew the only way to find meaning in my life, my only chance in life, would be to account for it. My grandmother's words return to me; "Try to photograph what's beautiful in life." By the time I finish this story, the third tragic misadventure of the 20th century was over. After the monarchy and fascist rule, the communist regime also went up in smoke. I remembered the recipe book that we had lost and suddenly realized that the family secret was not to be found on its pages. It was preserved by my grandmother. The only one in our family who had the gift of breathing freely.

Valerie Sors: My darling, you are not in prison. They are.

Adam Sors: We are afraid to see clearly and of being seen clearly.

Ivan Sors: [speaking to the graveside of Andor Knorr] Andor Knorr, one of your murderers has come to your grave, to say goodbye to you. I was your first interrogator, someone who you trained to defend the cause without mercy. We believed we were going to make the world better place for people, but, instead, we made it so much worse. As servants of power-hungry criminals, we became criminals. Our politicians lied to the people by saying they were doing good. And then the people lied to the politicians by saying that they believed them. I'm not just saying goodbye to you. I'm also saying goodbye to myself. I stood by and watching my father be... tortured and executed, and I did nothing. Then I watched them do the same thing to you, and I did nothing. I make a promise here at your graveside, to do everything to punish those who have turned ideals into crimes.

Valerie: [talking to Ivan Sors] I left your grandfather once. I fell in love with another man. Your grandfather and I hadn't been getting along. He wasn't the sort of person I hoped he'd be. The other man was passionate, a wonderful lover. That is important, darling. He gave me an old medallion engraved with: "I love you."::Valerie: When your grandfather get in trouble with the Communists, I came back. You must try to find joy in your life.

The American President (1995)

Actors

Plot
Andrew Shepherd is approaching the end of his first term as President of the United States. He's a widower with a young daughter and has proved to be popular with the public. His election seems assured. That is until he meets Sydney Ellen Wade, a paid political activist working for an environmental lobby group. He's immediately smitten with her and after several amusing attempts, they finally manage to go on a date (which happens to be a State dinner for the visiting President of France). His relationship with Wade opens the door for his prime political opponent, Senator Bob Rumson, to launch an attack on the President's character, something he could not do in the previous election as Shepherd's wife had only recently died.

Quotes:

President Andrew Shepherd: I want to buy her some flowers. That's what men do when they break a date.::Robin McCall: That's not what men do. I know no men who do that.

[Looking through Andrew Shepherd's college transcript]::Sydney Ellen Wade: Oh, Andy, a C minus in Women's Studies.::President Andrew Shepherd: Yeah, well, that class wasn't about what I thought it was about.

[Ushering Sydney out of the White House after spending her first night there]::President Andrew Shepherd: I'm sorry about this. We'll do it better next time.::Sydney Ellen Wade: Well, I'm no expert but I think we did it pretty good this time.

Lewis Rothschild: Can I just state very clearly I can't be part of anything illegal.::A.J.: Good for you, Lewis.::Lewis Rothschild: Say what you want. It's always the guy in my job that ends up doing 18 months in Danbury minimum security prison.

Lewis Rothschild: Who're we calling, sir?::President Andrew Shepherd: I'm calling the Organization of the United Brotherhood of It's None of Your Damn Business, Lewis. I'll be with you in a second.

[ dancing at a state dinner]::Sydney Ellen Wade: I don't know how you do it.::President Andrew Shepherd: It's Arthur Murray. Six lessons.::Sydney Ellen Wade: That's not what I mean. Two hundred pairs of eyes are focused on you with two questions on their minds - who's this girl, and why is the President dancing with her?::President Andrew Shepherd: Well, first of all, the two hundred pairs of eyes aren't focused on me. They're focused on you. And the answers are Sydney Ellen Wade, and because she said yes.

President Andrew Shepherd: You're attracted to me, but the idea of physical intimacy is uncomfortable because you only know me as the President. But it's not always going to be that way, and the reason I know that is there was a moment last night when you were with ME, not the President. And I know what a big step that was for you. So, Sydney, I'm in no rush. Here's my plan. We're going to slow down, and when you're comfortable, that's when it's going to happen.::[Sydney emerges from the bathroom wearing nothing but one of his shirts]::President Andrew Shepherd: Perhaps I didn't properly explain the fundamentals of the slowdown plan.::Sydney Ellen Wade: [feeling the bed] No, you explained it great.::President Andrew Shepherd: Are you nervous?::Sydney Ellen Wade: No.::President Andrew Shepherd: Good. My nervousness exists on... several levels. Number one, and this is in no particular order, I haven't done this in a pretty long time. Number two, uh, any expectations that you might have, given the fact that I'm... you know...::Sydney Ellen Wade: [approaching seductively] The most powerful man in the world?::President Andrew Shepherd: Exactly, thank you. I think it's important you remember that's a political distinction that comes with the office. I mean, if, uh, Eisenhower were here instead of me, he'd be dead by now... and number three...::Sydney Ellen Wade: Andy...::[she kisses him]

[Right before their first kiss]::Sydney Ellen Wade: Do you think this is a good idea?::President Andrew Shepherd: Probably not.

Sydney Ellen Wade: Mr. President, you've got bigger problems than losing me. You just lost my vote.

A. J. MacInerney: The President doesn't answer to you, Lewis!::Lewis Rothschild: Oh, yes he does A.J. I'm a citizen, this is my President. And in this country it is not only permissible to question our leaders it's our responsibility!

Defense Secretary: Don't let those double-breasted suits up there fool you. Those boys are tough.

Mr. Harker: Now if you'll just give me a check for the amount on this paper here, please.::Professor Ned Brainard: But how can I pay you if nobody pays me?::Mr. Harker: Well, I regret to say, Professor, that's your problem. But look at it from our standpoint. We've been counting on you. We trusted you. Uncle Sam needs the money. You don't build those rockets to the moon with Green Stamps, you know.

Professor Ned Brainard: You'd think those people at the Pentagon could've least have given us a couple hundred thousand out of petty cash, or something.

Professor Ned Brainard: The road to genius is paved with fumble-footing and bumbling. Anyone who falls flat on his face is at least moving in the right direction: forward. And the fellow who makes the most mistakes may be the one who will save the neck of the whole world some day.

Mr. Harker: Your tax bill for the first three Quarters of the current year. The figure includes delinquent penalties of $12,895 at 5% for the first two Quarters. All based on an estimate of projected earnings, of course.

Defense Secretary: Oh, you'll be recompensed. Goodness knows the Armed Services are never chintzy. Now what we do, we beard the Appropriations boys in Congress. Matter of fact, I'm putting two of my bravest financial officers on the mission.

Police Officer Hanson: [to Prof. Ashton] I'm very sorry, Professor, but did our brand-new patrol car get in your way?

Professor Ned Brainard: If need be, I'll bet you'd put your own mother in jail.::Mr. Harker: Funny you should mention that about Mom. A little matter of some unreported income from jams and jellies. We nailed her dead to rights!

Joint Press Conference by U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Secretary of National Defense Voltaire T. Gazmin, Heroes' Hall, Malacañan Palace, | News Releases below | Photos | https://plus.google.com/photos/104050303641660365574/albums/5908831000919382625 | Audio | http://www.pcoo.gov.ph/pnoy/Press%20Breifing083013.mp3 | Gazmin says Philippines and United States continue to seek ways to develop each other's capabilities for regional peace and stability Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said the Philippines and the United States (US) continue to seek ways to develop each other's capabilities to address the security challenges of mutual concern and contribute to regional peace and stability. "Our alliance remains relevant today as it was before," Gazmin said in his remarks during the press conference on the visit of U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to Manila held at the Heroes' Hall of Malacanang Palace on Friday. Hagel is in Manila as part of his four-nation trip to South-East Asia. "As fellow members of the ASEAN defense ministers' meeting (ADMM)-plus, which was convened for the second time yesterday (Thursday) in Brunei Darussalam, the defense establishments of our two countries deemed it important to enhance our relations not only as allies but also as fellow stakeholders of regional security," Gazmin said. Hagel's visit to Manila coincides with the 62nd anniversary of the signing of the Philippines-US Mutual Defense Treaty. "The visit of U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to the Philippines coincides with an important date for Philippines-U.S. defense relations for it was on August 30, 1951 that the Mutual Defense Treaty was signed," Gazmin said. "The defense relations between our two countries have evolved since then. From military-to-military relations between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. Pacific Command, we have begun conducting policy consultations between our defense establishments," Gazmin added. In addition to the bilateral strategic dialogue between senior officials from the Defense and Foreign Affairs Departments of the Philippines and the US, which was first held in 2011, Gazmin said the two countries held the two-plus-two ministerial consultations between the secretaries of the Philippine and U.S. Defense and Foreign Affairs Departments in April 2012. Gazmin said the Philippines and US Defense departments are focusing on key areas of cooperation, including maritime security, humanitarian assistance, and disaster response, and cyber security and information sharing. "Indeed, after more than 60 years, the alliance between the Philippines and the U.S. remain relevant as we continue to enhance our capacity to address current concerns and emerging security issues. Thus, we shall continue to work closely to promote our common interests as well as peace and stability in the region," he stressed. PND (js) *** US Defense Secretary says he had productive meeting with President Aquino, assures that U.S. remains committed to further develop ties with the Philippines United States Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said he had a productive meeting with President Benigno S. Aquino III on Friday and assured that the US remains committed to further develop its close ties with the Philippines. "In my meeting with President Aquino, I noted that the deep and unbreakable alliance between United States and Philippines is an anchor for peace and stability and prosperity in this region," Hagel said in his remark during a joint press conference with Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin held at the Heroes' Hall of Malacanang Palace. "Our close ties with the Philippines have been forged through history of shared sacrifice and common purpose, and continuing to strengthen the close partnership between our nations is an important part of America's long-term strategy of re-balancing in the Asia Pacific," he said." Hagel is in Manila as part of his four-nation trip to South-East Asia. During his visit, Hagel paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive at the Music Room of Malacanang Palace on Friday. "One thing that I want to emphasize is that United States is committed to the mutual defense treaty between our nations. It was borne out of Americans and Filipinos fighting shoulder-to-shoulder during World War II, and it has formed the foundation of the US-Philippines security relationship for more than 60 years," Hagel stressed. Hagel's visit to the Philippines is seen as a continuing US effort to assure the Philippines that it will help maintain peace in the region amid territorial dispute in the West Philippine Sea.

BREAKING!!! UFO ALIEN DISCLOSURE By Canadian Minister of Defence MAY 2013

Hon. Paul Hellyer - Minister of National Defense Testified knowing of 4 Alien races actively visiting Earth. Source Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/CitizenHe... Natural Health Warriors on Facebook! - https://www.facebook.com/NaturalHealthWarriors Filmed May 2013 Monsignor Corrado Balducci Vatican theologian-Interview on Italian television "We can no longer think... is it true? Is it not true? Are they truths or are they lies--if we believe or if we don't believe--no! There are already numerous considerations which make the existence of these beings [extraterrestrials] into a certainty we cannot doubt." Former Special Assistant to the Executive Director of the CIA Victor Marchetti: How the CIA Views the UFO Phenomenon, Second Look, Vol. 1, No. 7, Washington, D.C. (5/1979) -- "We have, indeed, been contacted -- perhaps even visited -- by extraterrestrial beings, and the US government, in collusion with the other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public." Deputy Chief of the Royal Belgian Air Force Major-General Wilfred de Brouwer: "Postface" in SOBEPS' Vague d'OVNI sur la Belgique - Un Dossier Exceptionnel, Brussels: SOBEPS (1991) -- "In any case, the Air Force has arrived to the conclusion that a certain number of anomalous phenomena has been produced within Belgian airspace. The numerous testimonies of ground observations compiled in this [SOBEPS] book, reinforced by the reports of the night of March 30-31 [1990], have led us to face the hypothesis that a certain number of unauthorized aerial activities have taken place. Until now, not a single trace of aggressiveness has been signaled; military or civilian air traffic has not been perturbed nor threatened. We can therefore advance that the presumed activities do not constitute a direct menace." "The day will come undoubtedly when the phenomenon will be observed with technological means of detection and collection that won't leave a single doubt about its origin. This should lift a part of the veil that has covered the mystery for a long time. A mystery that continues to the present. But it exists, it is real, and that in itself is an important conclusion." Japan's Top Government Spokesperson, Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura and Japan's Defense Minister, Shigeru Ishiba : Beliefs and Concerns about UFOs - Japan's top government spokesperson: UFO's definitely exist. Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said to reporters on December 18, 2007, "I definitely believe they (UFOs) exist." 3 days later Japan's Defence Minister Shigeru Ishiba considers how his Self Defence Forces could respond to an attack by space aliens while adhering to limits on military action under the country's war-renouncing Constitution. "There are no grounds for us to deny there are unidentified flying objects and some lifeform that controls them", Ishiba said. "Few discussions have been held on what the legal grounds are" for military response. (Bloomberg) by Stuart Biggs Sworn Affidavit by a Lieutenant Walter Haut concerning his experience of the 1947 UFO crash AT Roswell, NM: Lt. Walter Haut, public relations officer at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947 left a sworn affidavit concerning his experience with the Roswell UFO crash in 1947. His sworn affidavit was only to be opened after his death. Haut died in December 2005 and sometime in June of 2007 the text contained therein had been released. He describes seeing the UFO and the occupants consisting of alien bodies as well as a high-level meeting with Col. William Blanchard and General Roger Ramey, Commander of the Eighth Army Air Force. Astronaut Scott Carpenter "At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs." ~ Astronaut Scott Carpenter - Carpenter photographed a UFO while in orbit on May 24, 1962. NASA still has not released the photograph to the public. Buzz Aldrin on Fox News "We just about could have said, 'Look, we see a UFO out the window going along with us.' You know what would have happened? The public would have gone crazy! We were smart enough to say, 'Where is the upper stage rocket? We think we might be looking at that out the window." Colonel Joseph J. Bryan III Founding member of the CIA's psychological warfare staff, advisor to NATO "These UFOs are interplanetary devices systematically observing the Earth, either manned or under remote control, or both." President Jimmy Carter Interview following his sighting of a UFO at Leary, Georgia - October 1969 "It was the darndest thing I've ever seen. It was big, it was very bright, it changed colors, and it was about the size of the moon. A red and green glowing orb radiated as it hurtled across the southwestern Georgia skies. We watched it for ten minutes, but none of us could figure out what it was. One thing's for sure: I'll never make fun of people who say they've seen unidentified flying objects in the sky."

U.S. Defense Secretary Visited the Liaoning Aircraft Carrier.

Order: Reorder
Duration: 4:01
Updated: 09 Apr 2014

Follow us on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/cnforbiddennews Like us on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/chinaforbiddennews U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel arrived in China on March 7 for a four-day visit. However, it is unusual that Hagel visited China Qingdao naval Liaoning aircraft carrier in the first day. Why did the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) allow Americans to visit its most advanced military equipment? Let's look at the reports. The first stop for Chuck Hagel was not Beijing, but the Qingdao naval base. Hagel and his party took about two hours to visit the CCP's first aircraft carrier the Liaoning. The official said Hagel was the first official visitor from outside China to be allowed on board the Liaoning. A U.S. Defense Force Senior Officer confirmed that China allowed the U.S. to visit the aircraft carrier. He said the visit is significant because Liaoning aircraft carrier is seen as a symbol of China's growing naval power as well as ambition for greater global influence. The Liaoning is a Soviet-era vessel bought from the Ukraine in the name of tourist recreation. It was sailed back to China in 2002. It was later modified as an aircraft carrier in September 2012 The CCP plans to deploy 30 aircrafts on Liaoning aircraft carrier in 2015. U.S. political commentator Wu Fan: "The boat is actually a decoration, not of too much use. The Americans only wonder how far advanced your aircraft carrier technique is with firsthand information." Yan Zhensheng Director of the Institute of International Relations, Taiwan National Chengchi University, believes that the CCP allowed the U.S. Defense Secretary on board the Liaoning carrier to gain their trust. Singapore regional security expert Ian Storey also believes Hagel's boarding the Liaoning carrier symbolizes China's goodwill to the United States, who can also learn the actual defense capability of the carrier. Since there is a huge gap between China and U.S. aircraft carriers, the CCP arrangement is actually to show weakness that their aircraft carrier is not enough to dominate, certainly not compete with the United States. Before that, some Chinese military believe that the aircraft carrier is at least 30 years behind the United States. It is also believed by outsiders that the Liaoning carrier is far less sophisticated than U.S. carriers. Before China, Hagel visited Japan first and reaffirmed the military commitment from the U.S. Hagel indirectly delivered strong warnings to China not to push on the disputed islands' sovereignty of South and East Sea as a big country. Hagel said that the U.S. is against China changing the status quo in any form unilaterally and stressed that all nations and all people deserve respect no matter how large or how small. There shouldn't be invasion of territory, dignity or national sovereignty by violence, coercion and intimidation. Hagel promised to deploy two additional ballistic missile defense destroyers to Japan making a total of seven U.S. ballistic missile defense warships. Hagel's announcement follows deployment of a second early warning U.S. radar to Japan, P-8 maritime surveillance aircraft and plans to send unmanned Global Hawk drones. Yan Zhensheng: "Japan is an ally of the United States. The Philippines is also a U.S. ally. Will it affect the relationship between China and the U.S. if the U.S. supports Japan and the Philippines?" Yan Zhensheng believes that the U.S. hopes China takes on responsibility over the Ukraine, Syria, and the Korean Peninsula. He would like to see an alliance with China on some issues since the U.S. and Russia became enemies over the Ukraine. The US needs to prevent China destabilizing the situation in Southeast Asia. President Barack Obama's diplomatic point man for East Asia, Daniel Russel, issued a statement on April 3. He said that retaliatory sanctions imposed on Russia by the U.S., the EU and others should have a "chilling effect on anyone in China who might contemplate the Crimea annexation as a model. The CCP should not doubt the U.S. commitment to defend its Asian allies. Wu Fan: The purpose of Hagel's visit is to warn the CCP not to think too much and follow Putin. Commentator Wu Fan believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin took the Crimea from Ukraine and still further expanded to the east. So it's very important to the U.S. to dispel China's thoughts on Taiwan and the Diaoyu Islands. 《神韵》2014世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
