Part of the reason that I moved to Los Angeles is that even though my mom introduced me to all kinds of music I really wanted to work on having my own identify on being who I am and doing what I do and seeing how people responded.
I've been an atheist since I was nine years old. And my mom is really religious so we have a strange relationship. But if my mother was right what would be the reason that the gods could let anything bad happen in the world?
My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.
I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom for whatever reason the best thing to do is be open with each other talk it over try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.
Being a mom's so empowering and incredible. I'm one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason and if you just go with it that's where the best moments come from.
Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.
Reasonable men adapt to the world around them unreasonable men make the world adapt to them. The world is changed by unreasonable men.
It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages personal relations and multi-tasking but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state and all men of our time are in such a state.
A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.
With reasonable men I will reason with humane men I will plead but to tyrants I will give no quarter nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.
Dawn: When men of reason go to bed.
Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls... because they can.
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white or women created for men.
One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.
Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.
Deprived of meaningful work men and women lose their reason for existence they go stark raving mad.
Money demands that you sell not your weakness to men's stupidity but your talent to their reason.
The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.
The reason why men do not obey us is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.
As our enemies have found we can reason like men so now let us show them we can fight like men also.
When men and women agree it is only in their conclusions their reasons are always different.
I have many times thought I did the wrong thing but the reason was not to be a medical doctor - it was just to have the information. But then maybe I was wrong I don't know.
Consider the perverse effect cap and trade has on altruistic actions. Say you decide to buy a small high-efficiency car. That reduces your emissions but not your country's. Instead it allows somebody else to buy a bigger S.U.V. - because the total emissions are set by the cap.
