Artists know that diligence counts as much if not more as inspiration in art as in politics patience counts as much as revolution.

My mum told me to have patience. It's about realising that when things aren't going the way you want them to or you don't have inspiration it will come.

Patience persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

What lingers from the parent's individual past unresolved or incomplete often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.

Fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise... specialized competence and success are all that they can imagine.

Quantum computation is... a distinctively new way of harnessing nature... It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes.

The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature in her manner of operation.

I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed.

Plot rules nor even poetry are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature of character of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.

Wars will remain while human nature remains. I believe in my soul in cooperation in arbitration but the soldier's occupation we cannot say is gone until human nature is gone.

Nature has never read the Declaration of Independence. It continues to make us unequal.

The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down the hill.

Men speak of natural rights but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.

Virtue is a habit of the mind consistent with nature and moderation and reason.

The salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself.

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.

When we think of the major threats to our national security the first to come to mind are nuclear proliferation rogue states and global terrorism. But another kind of threat lurks beyond our shores one from nature not humans - an avian flu pandemic.

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them understand them thoroughly. After that it will be possible for you to sublimate them.

All the perplexities confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation not from want of honor or virtue so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin credit and circulation.

Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation not because of any lack of order in nature.

Understanding the laws of nature does not mean that we are immune to their operations.

For me making music is part social part interaction part collaboration.

Distance doesn't exist in fact and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere at all times.

The considerations of a corporation especially now have nothing to do with art or music.
