Chess is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you can find outside an advertising agency.

The future is too interesting and dangerous to be entrusted to any predictable reliable agency. We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options as we have in the past.

I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.

If then knowledge be power how much more power to we gain through the agency of faith and what elevation must it give to human character.

Equality of rights means that some people cannot simply impose obligations on others for the moral agency and rights of those others would then be violated.

Despite Arizona's remarkable growth in recent years we have met the current federal health standards for ozone pollution and the Environmental Protection Agency recently approved our dust control plan.

Under the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program homes are independently verified to be measurably more energy efficient than average houses.

'Sparkle' fell into my lap. I had heard a little bit about it that it was being redone in early 2011. I was just kind of like 'Oh that would be really cool ' and not really thinking too much about it and then it came through my agency. I read it I fell in love with the script and I went in to audition.

Some people think my father was a spy because of working for that government agency in Vietnam but he can't find his car keys much less keep a national secret.

My approach to cutting spending as president is to do a ten percent across the board cut of all federal agencies and then ask each of my new agency heads to find another ten percent by drilling down. That's what you do in business to come up with approximately 20 percent cuts for the first fiscal year budget.

An advertising agency is 85 percent confusion and 15 percent commission.

The intellectual architecture means focusing on doing great work instead of focusing on agency politics.
