You have the freedom to live and let live to love and let love. Granting yourself that freedom is one of the healthiest most constructive things you can do for yourself and the people who matter to you.

I was determined to achieve the total freedom that our history lessons taught us we were entitled to no matter what the sacrifice.

The condition every art requires is not so much freedom from restriction as freedom from adulteration and from the intrusion of foreign matter.

Don't ever dare to take your college as a matter of course - because like democracy and freedom many people you'll never know have broken their hearts to get it for you.

True freedom is where an individual's thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true correct and of honor - no matter the personal price.

God's forgiveness is the only thing. And well I take full responsibility for the adultery. It was my fault and you know no matter what went on the man has to take responsibility and I do.

For me first it's finding quiet in my life - and I do that through yoga and meditation. It's also been a matter of changing the way I eat because I think what we eat can inform who we are food is a chemical and a drug to a certain extent.

As long as the food is well prepared and not overdone I think it tastes good. It doesn't matter if it's Chinese Japanese anything.

There's a food revolution going on throughout the country. And it doesn't matter if you're down south up north in Maine if you're out west in Portland or Seattle.

All I ever wanted to do was to make food accessible to everyone to show that you can make mistakes - I do all the time - but it doesn't matter.

No matter where I've been overseas the food stinks except in Italy.

There's so much importance in honoring your everyday hero. It doesn't take money. It doesn't take connections. What matters is that people get involved. Whether your passion is gun control or food or whatever it may be everybody needs to stop being so self-absorbed.

My Food Network shows 'Emeril Live' and 'Essence of Emeril ' are not in production right now but I wouldn't say that I'm necessarily leaving Food Network. I have a lot of television still in me. I enjoy teaching people so it's just a matter of time before I do something new.

I first got involved with ending world hunger and I got hip to the facts about it - what a huge problem it was and how it wasn't a matter of not having food or not knowing how to end it but it was a matter of creating the political will.

I'm healthy now. I probably wouldn't say I'm at my best fitness level and I haven't played that much lately but I'm healthy and that's all that matters.

I'm not in the best shape but I want to prove to myself I can do something that seems insurmountable and inspire others by showing them no matter where they are in their fitness goals they can do it too.

We were told this war would be over in a matter of weeks and that the Iraqis would be able to finance it with oil sales. We were promised it was not a mission of nation building.

The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare no matter what happens to the world that's not equity it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.

We cannot both preach and administer financial matters.

All money is a matter of belief.

Most fears are basic: fear of the dark fear of going down in the basement fear of weird sounds fear that somebody is waiting for you in your closet. Those kinds of things stay with you no matter what age.

Another parent's different approach raises the possibility that you've made a mistake with your child. We simply can't tolerate that because we fear that any mistake no matter how minor could have devastating consequences. So we proclaim the superiority of our own choices. We've lost sight of the fact that people have preferences.

But what is all this fear of and opposition to Oblivion? What is the matter with the soft Darkness the Dreamless Sleep?

There is nothing strange about fear: no matter in what guise it presents itself it is something with which we are all so familiar that when a man appears who is without it we are at once enslaved by him.
