My second husband believed I had such a fickle attitude to friendship that each Friday he would update the list of my 'Top Ten' friends in the manner of a Top Of The Pops chart countdown.

Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well they embrace you.

What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see I'm a numbers guy that's my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming we are bankrupting this country and I'm in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That's exactly what I should be doing.

Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here. It's not that you're supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven't. That kills a country. It killed Russia.

I'm only going to stand before God and give an account for my life not for somebody else's life. If I have a bad attitude then I need to say there's no point in me blaming you for what's wrong in my life.

It is not the body's posture but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.

Jazz is known all over the world as an American musical art form and that's it. No America no jazz. I've seen people try to connect it to other countries for instance to Africa but it doesn't have a damn thing to do with Africa.

'Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era ' the Whitney Museum's 40th-anniversary trip down counterculture memory lane provides moments of buzzy fun but it'll leave you only comfortably numb. For starters it may be the whitest straightest most conservative show seen in a New York museum since psychedelia was new.

Imagine it's 1981. You're an artist in love with art smitten with art history. You're also a woman with almost no mentors to look to art history just isn't that into you. Any woman approaching art history in the early eighties was attempting to enter an almost foreign country a restricted and exclusionary domain that spoke a private language.

The counterfeit and counterpart of Nature is reproduced in art.

I think art education especially in this country which government pretty much ignores is so important for young people.

In the practical art of war the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact to shatter and destroy it is not so good.

Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.

I've never really had a hobby unless you count art which the IRS once told me I had to declare as a hobby since I hadn't made money with it.

Revived in this country the long forgotten beauties of Gothic architecture.

The organizational architecture is really that a centipede walks on hundred legs and one or two don't count. So if I lose one or two legs the process will go on the organization will go on the growth will go on.

Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks we must participate in the political struggle.

Chicago is known for good steaks expensive stores and beautiful architecture. Unfortunately the Windy City also enjoys a reputation for corrupt politics violent crime and some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere in the country.

Japanese architecture is very much copied in this country and in Europe.

Switzerland is a small steep country much more up and down than sideways and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.
