There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain that comes from trying to avoid pain.

He had no failings which were not owing to a noble cause to an ardent generous perhaps an immoderate passion for fame a passion which is the instinct of all great souls.

Fables should be taught as fables myths as myths and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both.

In fact I thought that Christianity was very a good and a very valuable thing for us. But after a while I began to feel that the story that I was told about this religion wasn't perhaps completely whole that something was left out.

The worst thing about that kind of prejudice... is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking perhaps I am not good enough.

Life is never fair and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.

Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations of arts and of sciences.

Many talk about a guest worker program. I think most reasonable people believe that a guest worker program in the farming industry perhaps in the gardening and landscape industries is reasonable.

Also it is interesting that developing countries with China and India perhaps in the lead where the future of the global environment will be decided are now on board with the case for sustainable development.

We are perhaps uniquely among the earth's creatures the worrying animal. We worry away our lives fearing the future discontent with the present unable to take in the idea of dying unable to sit still.

If GE's strategy of investment in China is wrong it represents a loss of a billion dollars perhaps a couple of billion dollars. If it is right it is the future of this company for the next century.

The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25 50 or perhaps 100 years.

I like today and perhaps a little future still but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So as far as I'm concerned I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know I don't care because I knew how it was.

The future is called 'perhaps ' which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the important thing is not to allow that to scare you.

Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom.

Perhaps religious conscience upsets the designs of those who feel that the highest wisdom and authority comes from government. But from the beginning this nation trusted in God not man. Religious liberty is the first freedom in our Constitution.

The principle that certain sins should not receive the Church's testimony of forgiveness was probably no novelty at all but had been applied in various churches perhaps however with no strict consistency.

Perhaps more than any other the food industry is very sensitive to consumer demand.

We fear doing too little when we should do more. Then atone by doing too much when perhaps we should do less.

Forty years ago this country went down a rabbit hole in Vietnam and millions died. I fear we're going down a rabbit hole once again - and if people can stop and think and reflect on some of the ideas and issues in this movie perhaps I've done some damn good here!

You know I never used to be a bad flyer but I did start to have a fear of flying after I shot a movie where I was terrorized on a plane. I made Wes Craven's 'Red Eye'. I don't think they're linked but it does make me pause and wonder if they are so perhaps I will explore that in therapy some day.

There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
