I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child as an eight- or nine-year-old asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels and I would say 'What does that mean?'

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

People more than ever since I can remember are concerned about being out of step and out of line with their political party and won't cross over. There is nobody man or woman who wants to be left out and people are fearful of that. People are fearful of their leadership as well.

I think we need leadership that helps us remember that part of what we are about is caring about more than the person right next to us but the folks across the way.

Life has obliged him to remember so much useful knowledge that he has lost not only his history but his whole original cargo of useless knowledge history languages literatures the higher mathematics or what you will - are all gone.

Perhaps the prevalence of pedantry may be largely accounted for by the common error of thinking that because useful knowledge should be remembered any kind of knowledge that is at all worth learning should be remembered too.

Do you remember when you found out you wouldn't live forever? People don't talk about this but everybody had to go through it because you're not born with that knowledge.

When you deal with a person who's experiencing dementia you can see where they're struggling with knowledge. You can see what they forget completely what they forget but they know what they once knew. You can tell how they're trying to remember.

That's the way I got along in life. I don't ever remember being particularly jealous of anybody because I figured if I can't do it myself I don't deserve to get it.

I can remember when I was National Security Adviser the intelligence community told us... they put out an intelligence report saying that Iran would never back off from attacks on shipping in the Gulf if we use force.

You'll remember Dr. Rice said that several times: It was not a warning about the place and the method and the time - it was a general warning. And that points out the imperfection if you would of our intelligence.

So far as I can remember there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

Remember to be as smart as you are.

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

Be as smart as you can but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe remember you can achieve.

In my imagination yes I remember when I was six years old I was conducting all this concert in my house. But now it's real.

I genuinely liked all of the cast members very much. Steve had a wicked sense of humor. I remember Russell coming to my rescue once. I watched Eric evolve before everyone's eyes. Maurice loved what he did so. He treated his character with respect down to the costuming.

I remember when humor was gentle pokes. I used to call it 'arm around the shoulder' humor. Now they go for the jugular and they take no prisoners. It's mean mean stuff.

Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility.

If you live through the initial stage of fame and get past it and remember thats not who you are. If you live past that then you have a hope of maybe learning how to spell the word artist.

I don't remember deciding to become a writer. You decide to become a dentist or a postman. For me writing is like being gay. You finally admit that this is who you are you come out and hope that no one runs away.

I remember thinking That's what I need - and that hope was in Jesus Christ.

As a young actor people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking 'This is what I love doing and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever.'
