I recently formed a foundation to raise awareness for prostate cancer. I feel it’s very necessary that men be more aware about prostate cancer and their health in general. – Herbie Mann

The blues is the foundation for a lot of things. Things have branched off. It’s cool how music grows, but the foundation is always there. It’s not going anywhere. The blues is always going to be relevant. – Gary Clark, Jr.
To some degree. I think that I’ve always been very much of a chordal person. The chords are the foundation of everything. Some of Yes’ stuff is very linear, albeit complex, but it’s single-line melodic stuff. So I kind of had to wear a different cap working with Yes. It’s not so much chord-based. – Geoff Downes
We have before us the examples of the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. We must remember how long these required to achieve their union. When a solid foundation is laid, if the mason is able and his materials good, a strong house can be built. – Haile Selassie
Your primary presumption that The Bridge was proffered as an epic has no substantial foundation. You know quite well that I doubt that our present stage of cultural development is so ordered yet as to provide the means or method for such an organic manifestation as that. – Hart Crane
The angry Scot is a cliche not without some foundation. That’s the Lowland Scot – I’m a Highlander. We’re particularly lovely and charming. – Hugh Grant
The South is brutalized to a degree not realized by its own inhabitants, and the very foundation of government, law and order, are imperilled. – Ida B. Wells

The thing I’m most proud of is that I’ve raised a lot of money for certain charities – breast cancer and the Caldecott Foundation and the NSPCC. But as far as my self-esteem is concerned, doing ‘The Graduate’ for 11 months was fantastic. – Jerry Hall

Behold how Christ is the foundation of the church and the apostles are the foundations! Christ is by a figure of speech – antonomastice – the foundation because the edifice of the church begins from him and is finished in him and through him. But the prophets and apostles are the foundations because their authority bears up our weakness. – Jan Hus
In my view, targeted lethal force is at its least controversial when it is on its strongest, most traditional legal foundation. The essential mission of the U.S. military is to capture or kill an enemy. Armies have been doing this for thousands of years. As part of a congressionally authorized armed conflict, the foundation is even stronger. – Jeh Johnson
