You know what's funny is that I have this ongoing relationship with the city of Washington D.C. I went to George Washington University and my nickname was K-Dub - based on G-Dub - and I'm now on the board of trustees at George Washington University.

Our relationship to reality and to our experience is all based upon the ideas in our mind that we're always trying to live up to.

The Russians are turning east to the Chinese - to the Europeans' surprise. It always seemed to me that the relationship between Russia and China would shift from being based in Marx and Lenin to being based in oil and gas.

The Apology opened the opportunity for a new relationship based on mutual respect and mutual responsibility between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia. Because without mutual respect and mutual responsibility the truth is we can achieve very little.

I would say 90 percent of Christians do not have a worldview in other words a view of the world based on the Scripture and a relationship with God.

Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.

Hurry conscious younger people! Get to power quickly so political decisions can be based on the greater good for all rather than the greater gain for few. Hurry before it is too late!

In the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.

Tonight we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation - not because of the height of our skyscrapers or the power of our military or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.

We're seeing quite a lot of people who really would like a return to class-based politics.

Music shouldn't be based around money or politics. Music should be a bunch of people that really do great songs together doing them together for the pursuit of having a good time.

It's a good question because a movie isn't good or bad based on its politics. It's usually good or bad for other reasons though you might agree or disagree with its politics.

It would be great if politics were fact-based but it is not and it is surely not nuance-based. What works in a classroom or a think tank does not work on Capitol Hill or in the White House. Obama sometimes seems to be running the Brookings Institution not the country.

I'm looking forward to the day when America will mature to the point that we are a color-blind society. I'm not so sure that in politics that will ever be reality because politics has a way of separating us based on skin color.

We've switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing economics politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that's really entertainment-based.

America was based on a poetic vision. What will happen when it loses its poetry?

I will try to work for greater reconciliation cooperation and peace in North East Asia based on correct perception of history.

My actions to promote peace the mediation missions which I carried out during many conflicts which very often occurred between brothers of the same country are not driven by any ulterior motives or any calculations based on personal ambitions.

Modern society based as it is on the division of labor can be preserved only under conditions of lasting peace.

The only peace that can be made with a dictator is once that must be based on deterrence. For today the dictator may be your friend but tomorrow he will need you as an enemy.

Military hardliners called me a 'security threat' for promoting peace in South Asia and for supporting a broad-based government in Afghanistan.

Israel welcomes the wind of change and sees a window of opportunity. Democratic and science-based economies by nature desire peace. Israel does not want to be an island of affluence in an ocean of poverty. Improvements in our neighbours' lives mean improvements to the neighbourhood in which we live.

Peace is not the absence of war but a virtue based on strength of character.

This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles but ours seems to be based on war and games.
