I think President Obama could have handled politics and policies differently. But he has been decisive strong and consistent - important qualities in a president. Mitt Romney is indeed an Etch A Sketch the antithesis of leadership.

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.

Belief and knowledge are considered to be two different things. But they are not.

It's extremely hard for athletes to accept what's happened to them sometimes. It's hard to be beaten by a small margin and I've spoken with athletes who for years afterward have been tormented by the knowledge that had they done something ever so slightly different they could have been one-ten-thousandth of a second quicker.

The properties which differentiate living matter from any kind of inorganic imitation may be instinctively felt but can hardly be formulated without expert knowledge.

What guides Marxism then is a different model of society and a different conception of the function of the knowledge that can be produced by society and acquired from it.

We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference unmixed with considerations of a different order.

A number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge.

To my knowledge I was the first guy really to do what I do. And then later on different comedians started trying doing it.

You go to college not only for the latest knowledge but also to meet people from different backgrounds. That's the genius of the American higher-education system compared with the Europeans'. We don't simply skim the elite.

You can do one of two things. You can bury you head in the sand and believe what everyone tells you - that you will always be that young that thin and that fabulous. Or you can use all the things you have - talent contacts knowledge - and do something different.

I think it's a mistake to treat different realms of knowledge as if they are some how fundamentally the same.

The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.

The danger of having the military take over intelligence is that the military has a very different perspective on the world.

I do not want to go into its physical reasons: the construction of the human body is different from that of carnivorous animals. But man's intelligence is such that it can be utilised to defend any-thing he does whether right or wrong.

I think that animals aren't less intelligent than humans they're just of a different intelligence. We have five million smell-sensitive cells in our nose they have two hundred and fifty million - they can smell emotion. They can smell different types of emotion they just have another type of intelligence.

Most good actors have a huge intelligence about the human condition and a real open heart to different kinds of people and behavior.

A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces.

The ability to take pleasure in one's life is a skill and is a kind of intelligence. So intelligence is a hard thing to evaluate and it manifests itself in so many different ways. I do think the ability to know how to live a life and not be miserable is a sign of that.

There have been many different artists that have been inspirational. I suppose the question is directed to what was the reason why I went into fantasy illustration.

Every song you're trying to find something that going to connect in different ways but for me the songs that I'm really drawn to are inspirational songs that lift you and that everybody can relate to no matter where you're from.

Reading a hard copy book and reading a book on an iPad are slightly different experiences. What they both have in common though is that you must engage your imagination in the process.

Imagination which comes into play in falling in love is different from any other. Certainly in my case and I've fallen in love all my life one imagines the person to be as you want them to be. They frequently turn out to be someone different for better or worse.
