When you're suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side even if you're in your 30s it's a hard conversation. I'm a traditional girl and I believe in marriage and I just always thought that's the way I'd be doing this.

No Government has the moral authority to dismantle the universally understood meaning of marriage.

Particularly black Americans many of them from quotes that I have seen and conversations I've had are sort of insulted that the civil rights movement is being hijacked - the rhetoric of the civil rights movement is being hijacked for something like same sex marriage. Black Americans tend to have a higher degree of religiosity.

After about 20 years of marriage I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.

Marriage is one long conversation chequered by disputes.

A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.

Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

Today more than ever before life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility not only nation to nation and human to human but also human to other forms of life.

I know it may seem surprising to people but learning dialog that has a conversational flow to it is not that difficult.

I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times.

I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I've had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It's like a better version of a class. Even though I'm not sitting at a desk and in school I'm still learning all the time.

That first year at Universal was a big blur and naturally I thought they were wasting me. I didn't realize at the time that I was learning my craft and acting more easily in front of the camera.

You can learn as much about the history from reading about the present as you can vice versa that is learning about the present through history which is what I do for a living.

Learning is the ally not the adversary of genius... he who reads in a proper spirit can scarcely read too much.

I enjoy learning about different periods and people and then taking what's universal about the human condition and seeing where it matches up. No matter where you are certain things unite everybody.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.

The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention.

We have treated our most serious adversaries such as Iran and North Korea in the most juvenile manner - by giving them the silent treatment. In so doing we have weakened not strengthened our bargaining position and our leadership.

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts their talents their insights their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

It is true that the aristocracies seem to have abused their monopoly of legal knowledge and at all events their exclusive possession of the law was a formidable impediment to the success of those popular movements which began to be universal in the western world.

On our plane knowledge and ignorance are the immemorial adversaries.

There is a universal intelligent life force that exists within everyone and everything. It resides within each one of use as a deep wisdom an inner knowing. We can access this wonderful source of knowledge and wisdom through our intuition an inner sense that tells us what feels right and true for us at any given moment.

The most wonderful study of mankind is man. Relieving human suffering and diffusing universal knowledge is humanitarian.
