The real estate agent had to go door-to-door in the apartment building we wanted to rent asking if it was OK for this interracial family - my mom is white and I was a 1-year-old half-African kid - to live in the apartment building.

If anything interferes with my inner peace I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.

A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.

Because I didn't have brothers I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family so I became one of them - but it was not my family. I've always been attracted to temporary families. They tend to be lost characters.

People under the influence of cults is similar to that we observe in addicts. Typical behaviour for both includes draining bank accounts neglecting children destroying relations with family and losing interest in anything except the drug or cult.

I am struck by the fact that personal faith and political agendas are intertwined more closely now than at any other time in recent history.

Greece's European neighbors were able step in and bolster the weak foundation on which Greece's free-spending budget was based. It would be difficult for any country or intergovernmental organization to rescue an economy the size of the U.S. if investors were ever to lose faith in our bonds because of our enormous debt.

There are many countries where you can only believe more or you can believe less. But in the United States we have this incredible smorgasbord and it really interests me why people are drawn to one faith rather than another especially to a system of belief that to an outsider seems absurd or dangerous.

Well you have to keep your faith in the fact that there are a lot of intelligent people who are actively looking for something interesting people who have been disappointed so many times.

I desire an special interest in your prayers that my faith fail not in the day of adversity.

I think there is a great deal of interest still in the Christian faith.

The Constitution was the expression not only of a political faith but also of political fears. It was wrought both as the organ of the national interest and as the bulwark of certain individual and local rights.

President Ford was a devoted decent man of impeccable integrity who put service to his country before his own self interest. He helped heal our nation during a time of crisis provided steady leadership and restored people's faith in the presidency and in government.

The mere assemblage of peace loving people to interchange convincing reasons for their common faith mere exhortation and argument to the public in favor of peace in general fall short of the mark.

I was never the ingenue so hopefully that'll make it easier to age and still work. I know a lot of actors who are really dissatisfied with where they're at even though some of them are huge stars and I feel like 'Oh my God you're at the top.' Something interesting will come. It always does. I have faith.

Therefore the church is not absolutely necessary as an object of faith not even for us today for then Abraham and the other prophets would not have given assent to those things which were revealed to them from God without any intervening help of the church.

Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center in order to replace it for example with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith.

Don't be confused that my interest in religion faith and spirituality is driven by any sense of faith or spirituality of my own.

True fans of the Constitution like true fans of the national pastime acknowledge the critical role of human judgment in making tough calls. We don't expect flawless interpretation. We expect good faith. We demand honesty.

Such a faith would be fatal to my reason to my liberty and even to the success of my undertakings it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave an instrument of the will and interests of others.

An investigator starts research in a new field with faith a foggy idea and a few wild experiments. Eventually the interplay of negative and positive results guides the work. By the time the research is completed he or she knows how it should have been started and conducted.

A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.

Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise diplomacy included which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public hence ultimately of failure.

The fact that The Bridge contains folk lore and other material suitable to the epic form need not therefore prove its failure as a long lyric poem with interrelated sections.
