Since the beginning of the 21st century thanks to the concerted efforts of both sides China-U.S. relationship has on the whole enjoyed steady growth. Since President Obama took office we have maintained close contact through exchange of visits meetings telephone conversations and letters.

I don't know really. I've always been interested in the small picture instead of the big one and I've always been interested in relationship pictures.

I'd think 'In a relationship we should never have his kind of fight.' Then instead of figuring out how to make it work I looked for a way to get out of it. The truth is you shouldn't be married if your that kind of person.

I always believed in God and Christ but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn.

When we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness looking instead for authority validation and approval from others we give our personal power away.

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction to wit: by consolidation of power first and then corruption its necessary consequence.

It gets kinda monotonous but that's television. There are plus sides and down sides. The positive side is that you have steady work for nine months of the year for however many years your show is on TV .

Instead of yelling and spanking which don't work anyway I believe in finding creative ways to keep their attention - turning things into a game for instance. And when they do something good positive reinforcement and praise.

Flexible working is not just for women with children. It is necessary at the other end of the scale. If people can move into part-time work instead of retirement then that will be a huge help. If people can fit their work around caring responsibilities for the elderly the disabled then again that's very positive.

Instead of hating I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.

But look you did not have to be well versed in politics to know that some stupid things were going on. It is the counsel's job to stop them and instead the coverup was created.

Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It's about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common passionate cause. And it's about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.

Politics it seems to me for years or all too long has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre and installed instead as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise - nobody need read it but anybody can do it.

The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse.

Instead of trying to come up and pontificate on what literature is you need to talk with children to teachers and make sure they get poetry in the curriculum early.

Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition.

Some people put up a peace sign with one hand. Some people put up the middle finger instead. I use two hands and put up both.

If you remember you just have one constituent and that's God himself and if you try to please him I think you usually come with a lot steadier pace and a lot more peace in your life.

At the end the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time that she had to kind of live it completely through instead of living by the rules.

Instead of a man of peace and love I have become a man of violence and revenge.

As this long and difficult war ends I would like to address a few special words to the American people: Your steadfastness in supporting our insistence on peace with honor has made peace with honor possible.

We will stand up for our friends in the world. And one of the most important friends is the State of Israel. My administration will be steadfast in support Israel against terrorism and violence and in seeking the peace for which all Israelis pray.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set then there'd be peace.
