And across Afghanistan every single day Afghan soldiers Afghan police and ISAF troops are serving shoulder-to-shoulder in some very difficult situations. And our engagement with them our shoulder-to-shoulder relationship with them our conduct of operations with them every single day defines the real relationship.

I love changing. I hate it when people try to box me in to a relationship or in a work context. Any situation where I feel boxed in freaks me out. And I feel the need to reinvent myself or I'll get bored.

I certainly wanted to maintain some sense of mystery about Picard and that's why we never allowed certain situations to fully evolve like the relationship between Picard and Beverly Crusher.

My family gave me values that have sustained me through situations that would challenge any person. My personal relationship with the Lord inspires me in all I do.

The power to define the situation is the ultimate power.

Power is not an institution and not a structure neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.

Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.

True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.

He is a very positive captain he is proactive as well as reactive. He is keen to read the game to get in there and he never stops thinking about the game the situation and trying to turn it to his advantage. He has been very good for the game.

We made happy sounds because we were upset... just trying to make a positive situation out of a negative one.

I've come to understand that there's always something positive even in a negative situation.

There is something in even the darkest situations that we can make a positive in our lives.

There's a weird cloud around you when you're recognizable. It was a brief window for me. I think you have to have a pathological need for attention of any type negative or positive to thrive in that kind of situation. And I only want compliments.

I've had to deal with all different types of situations - positive and negative and extremes of both.

Say and do something positive that will help the situation it doesn't take any brains to complain.

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

I was in the room with you know more than a dozen Republicans trying to negotiate the stimulus. Most of them decided the politics of the situation meant they should walk away even if it wasn't responsible in terms of what our country needed right then.

I look for the humanity in people however big the politics or oppressive the situation may be whether it's subsumed within a human being or between two human beings. I want to help us hold a mirror to ourselves.

The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It's played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for 'Strictly Come Dancing' than voted in the general election.

On the contrary the characteristic element of the present situation is that economic questions have finally and irrevocably invaded the domain of public life and politics.

Politics and war are remarkably similar situations.

So I suppose poetry language the shaping of it was and remains for me an effort to make sense out of essentially senseless situations.

For me poetry is a situation - a state of being a way of facing life and facing history.

The government needs to help those in need but members of Congress shouldn't take advantage of the situation and use a national tragedy as an opportunity to spend taxpayer dollars on their pet projects.
