There's been a concerted effort to steal Christmas.

You have to remind kids to stay connected to the meaning of Christmas. Sometimes it takes a little bit of effort but it's so worth it.

Work joyfully and peacefully knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.

In reality serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts.

The United States strongly condemns the illegal disclosure of classified information. It puts people's lives in danger threatens our national security and undermines our efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems.

It is astonishing what an effort it seems to be for many people to put their brains definitely and systematically to work.

Of all the things I've done the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort and effort means work.

Because I am a woman I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail no one will say 'She doesn't have what it takes' They will say 'Women don't have what it takes.'

Men's need to dominate women may be based in their own sense of marginality or emptiness we do not know its root and men are making no effort to discover it.

I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18 so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.

In most communities it is illegal to cry 'fire' in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?

There's a unique bond of trust between readers and authors that I don't believe exists in any other art form as a reader I trust a novelist to give me his or her best effort however flawed.

The last couple relationships I had were long distance. It's not like I can make much of an effort to travel and see anybody. The guy had to do all the work unfortunately.

Our markets have not achieved their great successes as a result of government fiat but rather through efforts of competing interests working to meet the demands of investors and to fulfill the promises posed by advancing technology.

Agency by agency we frequently have lost a bit of ground at least to inflation-but had it not been for the efforts we've made to educate people about the importance of science technology and advanced education those predictions very well might have come true.

The Cox Report documents a systematic well-planned effort by the Chinese military at the highest levels to target and acquire technology for military modernization.

I would like to spend my next two years showing how the aim of making technology available to every young person can be built into the effort to make our nation more secure. That is my latest concern and what I will be pushing over the next two years.

If you really want to improve technology if you want things to work better and be better you've got to protect the person who spends a lot of effort money and time developing that new technology.

I have always believed that 98% of a student's progress is due to his own efforts and 2% to his teacher.

It is worth while too to warn the teacher that undue severity in correcting faults is liable at times to discourage a boy's mind from effort.

Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.

Despite the success cult men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there - or failing to get there.

America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy.
