| Mohandas Gandhi |  A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.
Mohandas Gandhi |
| Norman Granz | I don't say that the supposed Civil Rights development is a myth, but it's a matter of dealing with reality. It's purely peripheral and, in many cases, it's just a facade.
Norman Granz |
| O. Henry | There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.
O. Henry |
| Oskar Kokoschka | All that's left now is purely poetic work, putting more life into individual places, as I've made so sure of the fundamental mood and dimension of expression that it won't leave me groping around in uncertainty any more.
Oskar Kokoschka |
| Parminder Nagra | But I think it's also hard to get into soccer here. I think purely on a time level on television as well because of the ad breaks. It's something to do with that as well. You can't show a complete soccer match here. Which I kind of find a bit of an odd thing.
Parminder Nagra |
| Paul Watzlawick | A self-fulfilling prophecy is an assumption or prediction that, purely as a result of having been made, cause the expected or predicted event to occur and thus confirms its own 'accuracy.'
Paul Watzlawick |
| Pete Rozelle | I'm not saying that the press is wrong to report any internal differences we have, but at the same time, I think it's our job to keep them from becoming public issues, for anything that detracts from the purely athletic aspects of the sport is bad for us.
Pete Rozelle |
| Pete Townshend | The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.
Pete Townshend |
| Peter Bart | The biggest danger of Hollywood becoming a purely corporate town resides in the creative process.
Peter Bart |
| Peter Singer | As we realise that more and more things have global impact, I think we're going to get people increasingly wanting to get away from a purely national interest.
Peter Singer |
| pure | In Judeo-Christian creeds it originally led to the Fall of Man, and as a purely diabolical spiritual vice, it outweighs anything else often condemned by the Church.
|
| purely | 'What do you call purely nominal?' |
| purely | The ballet is a purely female thing; it is a woman, a garden of beautiful flowers, and man is the gardener.
George Balanchine

| purely | Nato officials have made clear such a move would be purely defensive. |
| Richard King | Yet I never want to make a movie purely for the money.
Richard King |
| Robert McChesney | Which is supposed to mean they're doing something in their broadcasting they would not do is they were simply out to maximize profit; if they were really public service institutions, not purely profit maximizing institutions.
Robert McChesney |
| Samuel Taylor Coleridge | Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge |
| Sandy Koufax | There is among us a far closer relationship than the purely social one of a fraternal organization because we are bound together not only by a single interest but by a common goal. To win. Nothing else matters, and nothing else will do.
Sandy Koufax |
| Sellapan Ramanathan | China also has moved away from its original status of purely producing basic, what you call, consumer commodities and Chinese companies are moving beyond China to various parts of the world.
Sellapan Ramanathan |
| standpoint | It's a lot of work and I also feel like I've done it. I miss comedy. And I also think that, from purely a logistical standpoint, that the day-to-day schedule on a comedy allows you to have a life, much more of a life, than on a drama.
