I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us. There is one God looking down on us all. We are all the children of one God. The sun the darkness the winds are all listening to what we have to say.

Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans.

The future is built on brains not prom court as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you'd never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.

Since God knows our future our personalities and our capacity to listen He isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.

I remember listening to the radio as a kid and finding that the songs always made me feel more peaceful. Funny but the more hurtin' the music was the better it made me feel. I think of that now when I write my songs. I may not be feelin' the blues myself but I'm writing them for other people who have a hard life.

I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women's restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking.

With improv it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.

People don't want to listen to a celebrity tweeting about their charities and shows. That's why comedy writers do well - we put out little funny ideas.

My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.

A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists.

One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude and amending the error.

When I was younger I was listening to a lot of Armenian music you know revolutionary music about freedom and protest. In the 70s I was listening to soul and the Bee Gees and ABBA and funk.

But on average I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training you accentuate the problem.

Even before I knew I was gay I knew I didn't want to have a child. I knew I didn't want to have one. I never want to have to release it from me. Listen I love babies. I love children. And I melt when I'm around them. I also love my freedom and I love that I can sleep at night.

When freedom does not have a purpose when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women when it does not listen to the voice of conscience it turns against humanity and society.

Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen.

It makes sense that we came up with our public school system during the Industrial Revolution because it's like everybody is a factory worker eating their terrible food and going back to the room where you're silent and listening to an idiot. That's an epitomizing idea getting called 'Nothing' for your whole high school experience.

Listen - of course money changes everything but so does sunlight and so does food: These are powerful but neutral energy sources neither inherently good nor evil but shaped only by the way we use them.

A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question to taste the food of any country to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.

You know if I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough I would be convinced we're in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we've got to do something about the unemployed.

There is a time to take counsel of your fears and there is a time to never listen to any fear.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision turn off all your fears and go ahead!

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil when one feels tranquil one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings when one has these feelings and appreciates them one is free of fear.
