Dana Berliner
“The bill does very little to solve the problem of abuses of eminent domain in Missouri.”
Bruce Hillis
“We have a very serious problem with eminent domain abuse in this state. It's disappointing that the governor and the Legislature doesn't recognize that.”
Dan Wood
“No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction”
Charles Kendall Adams
“With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his”
George Bernard Shaw
“It is probable that there is no one thing that it is of eminent importance for a child to learn. The true object of juvenile education, is to provide, against the age of five and twenty, a mind well regulated, active, and prepared to learn. Whatever will inspire habits of industry and observation, will sufficiently answer this purpose.”
William Godwin
“If you believed yourself to be a writer of eminence, you are now assured of being over the hill-not a sturdy mountain flower but a little wilted lily of the valley.”
William H. Gass
