My adversary is the world of finance.

My real adversary has no name no face no party. It will never be elected yet it governs - the adversary is the world of finance.

Infinite growth of material consumption in a finite world is an impossibility.

The only way that we can reduce our financial dependence on the inflow of funds from the rest of the world is to reduce our trade deficit.

We've taken the view that if the rest of the world would democratize and create market economies that would spread the benefits of prosperity around the world and that it would enhance our own prosperity and our own stability and security as well.

The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare no matter what happens to the world that's not equity it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.

Today if you look at financial systems around the globe more than half the population of the world - out of six billion people more than three billion - do not qualify to take out a loan from a bank. This is a shame.

We had a booming stock market in 1929 and then went into the world's greatest depression. We have a booming stock market in 1999. Will the bubble somehow burst and then we enter depression? Well some things are not different.

Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.

One of the most gratifying things I get as an artist is when people watch me do these different demonstrations and they in some way feel empowered by what I'm doing so they can confront their own fears. Maybe it's the fear of getting in an elevator maybe it's the fear of going on a plane and seeing the world.

Only weeks after Oslo began when nearly all the world and most of Israel was drunk with the idea of peace I argued that a Palestinian society not constrained by democratic norms would be a fear society that would pose a grave threat to Israel.

There is no city or country in the world where women and girls live free of the fear of violence. No leader can claim: 'this is not happening in my backyard.'

Fear may very well be a caveman fear of the predator of the giant lizard chasing them - maybe that's what Steven Spielberg connects with so well in Lost World.

Fear created the first gods in the world.

My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.

The fear of the never-ending onslaught of gizmos and gadgets is nothing new. The radio the telephone Facebook - each of these inventions changed the world. Each of them scared the heck out of an older generation. And each of them was invented by people who were in their 20s.

I don't think that anyone seriously fears that the world can be blown to pieces all together. But what one can fear and rightly so are regional things like in the Middle East India Pakistan the Korean Peninsula borders in Africa etc.

The world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our Government.

We must have our say not through violence aggression or fear. We must speak out calmly and forcefully. We shall only be able to enter the new world era if we agree to engage in dialogue with the other side.

It is because I believe that it is in the power of such nations to lead the world back into the paths of peace that I propose to devote myself to explaining what in my opinion can and should be done to banish the fear of war that hangs so heavily over the world.

I'm completely in love with the world but also terrified of it. It creates some overwhelming feelings. Wanting to battle out that joy and fear is part of my music.

As with most phobias the fear of flying does make some sense but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all life is short and there's a great big world to explore out there.

Being a parent is not for the faint of heart. I may joke about knowing fear but the fact is the first time I ever knew real fear was the day Charlotte my first child was born. Suddenly there is someone in the world you care about more than anything.

Together we can make a world where cancer no longer means living with fear without hope or worse.
