Religion is not a department of life it is something that enters into the whole of it.

Give yourself entirely to God enter and hide in the hidden ground of your soul.

I really always expected to somebody to make me happy and I don't think you can really enter into a relationship until you are happy.

My early work and publications centered around expanding on the analysis of life insurance in my dissertation and its relationship to investment banking.

You've got to honor your relationship with your audience - that they sit down because they want to be entertained. And that doesn't mean you can't provoke them and antagonize them and challenge them in the course of the entertainment as long as you keep the entertainment part of the equation alive.

First and foremost I am a commercial writer and I hope to entertain people. But having said that I'm in love with the relationship between humans and dogs and the more I learned about what our military working dogs are doing I wanted to at least share with people what an important role these animals have in all our lives.

Yes I don't believe that the inter-Korean relationship has quote 'deteriorated' since I assumed office. Rather I believe that the relationship between the two Koreas is entering into a new phase - a time of transition. And so I think that the North Koreans are trying to see what they can build with this with my new administration.

I think that to a very great extent we are partners with the divine in this enterprise called history. That is an ongoing relationship and there is absolutely no guarantee that things will automatically work out to our best advantage.

Once you accept the existence of God - however you define him however you explain your relationship to him - then you are caught forever with his presence in the center of all things.

A lot of my emotional issues come from dealing with the opposite sex. I've come to terms with the fact that I'll be retired before I can finally enter into a healthy relationship.

I have my ethics and morals. I have my anchor point of what is right and wrong in real life but I'm not afraid to entertain any and every aspect of personality in relationship to creating a character.

Having been an educator for so many years I know that all a good teacher can do is set a context raise questions or enter into a kind of a dialogic relationship with their students.

Before machines the only form of entertainment people really had was relationships.

Every diminution of the public burdens arising from taxation gives to individual enterprise increased power and furnishes to all the members of our happy confederacy new motives for patriotic affection and support.

As you enter positions of trust and power dream a little before you think.

I learned a good deal about economics and about America from the author of the Reagan tax reforms - the great Jack Kemp. What gave Jack that incredible enthusiasm was his belief in the possibilities of free people in the power of free enterprise and strong communities to overcome poverty and despair. We need that same optimism right now.

Television is much better crafted today then in the 70s. The content is less positive but I'm one of those that feel our entertainment reflects our world it's not a driver - art imitates life.

Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me... it's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive fun entertainment.

I can walk into a room and create a good ambience. I was taught all about this back when I studied acting. One of the things they would teach you is how to send out positive signals when you enter a room. I am glad I learned this.

I'm not deeply ideologically driven. I believe in good center-right politics.

Things happen in American politics in the political center. If the President will meet us in the center there are things we can accomplish.

Good thing we've still got politics in Texas - finest form of free entertainment ever invented.

Men enter local politics solely as a result of being unhappily married.
