If thou desire the love of God and man be humble for the proud heart as it loves none but itself is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue nor strength nor reason can prevail.

My passion for gardening may strike some as selfish or merely an act of resignation in the face of overwhelming problems that beset the world. It is neither. I have found that each garden is just what Voltaire proposed in Candide: a microcosm of a just and beautiful society.

A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.

And time itself? Time was a never-ending medium that stretched into the future and the past - except there was no future and no past but an infinite number of brackets extending either way each bracket enclosing its single phase of the Universe.

It seems like the studios are either making giant blockbusters or really super-small indies. And the mid-level films I grew up on like 'Back to the Future' and all those John Hughes movies the studios aren't doing. It's hard to get them on their feet.

What's interesting about books that take place in the future even twenty years in the future is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future just like there is now.

Blowing up buses will not induce the Israelis to move forward and neither will the killing of Palestinians or the demolition of their homes and their future. All this needs to stop. And we pledge that Jordan will do its utmost to help achieve it.

I am neither a sociologist nor a politician. All I can do is imagine for myself what the future will be like.

Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.

Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present which seldom happens to us.

Fascism the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.

It also allows you to look as though you're not particularly from the present future or past either.

Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

I've actually tried to roast somebody that I don't like and it doesn't go well. Either they're a bad sport or I'm not as funny as I could be.

I have no agenda except to be funny. Neither I or the writers profess to offer any worldly wisdom.

You know how it is with writing. You just write what you want to write. There's no way to predict what is good or bad. You just do what you think is funny and either it works or you're finished. It's impossible to predict anything.

You can't teach somebody how to be funny. You're either funny or you ain't.

It's funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They're usually quite nice comparisons I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.

It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy.

I don't deserve this award but I have arthritis and I don't deserve that either.

Polite conversation is rarely either.

Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship - two of life's major assets.

A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need either for power or for friendship and adulation or a combination of both.

And though my Lord hath lost his estate and been banished out of his country yet neither despised poverty nor pinching necessity could make him break the bonds of friendship or weaken his loyal duty.
