Men are not great or small because of their material possessions. They are great or small because of what they are.

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thoughts rule the world.

Material possessions winning scores and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.

In the Pentagon Papers case the government asserted in the Supreme Court that the publication of the material was a threat to national security. It turned out it was not a threat to U.S. security. But even if it had been that doesn't mean that it couldn't be published.

Bureaucracy gives birth to itself and then expects maternity benefits.

My Alma mater was books a good library... I could spend the rest of my life reading just satisfying my curiosity.

We don't have enough support for maternal leave and the kinds of things that some of the European countries do. So we still make it hard on women to go into the work force and feel that they can be good at work but then doing the most important job which is raising your children in a responsible and positive way.

I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant but basically if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important.

Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily and the raw material cost so little that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.

If you tell God no because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say yes to Him all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience. What matters more than material blessings are the things He is teaching us in our spirit.

If you build up the soil with organic material the plants will do just fine.

As we divest ourselves of once familiar physical objects - digitize and dematerialize - we approach a 'Star Trek' future in which everything can be accessed from the fourth dimension with a few clicks or terse audibles.

Yes I believe blue material is funny but if that's all you've got you're dead in the water. It's not good.

You can't be funny if you don't have good material.

The most important thing is to write material that YOU think is funny. If you don't think it's funny but you're convinced that other people will think it is well they won't.

I am accusing him of stealing my best material he was a very funny man.

So that's why one of my rules of parody writing is that it's gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.

To stop terrorists before the strike we must do three things: deny them entry into the country curtail their freedom of action inside the country and deprive them of material and moral support from within the country.

That feeling of freedom open highways of possibilities has kind of been lost to materialism and marketing.

If I'm a lush at anything it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way but I value food.

Chicken fat beef fat fish fat fried foods - these are the foods that fuel our fat genes by giving them raw materials for building body fat.

The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used and thus in the case before us it cannot be immaterial what plants are subjected to experiment and in what manner such experiment is conducted.
