The course of true love never did run smooth.

My job is to interpret the law based on how the legislature and the court has done it and then of course to use our system of justice to develop some new legal tools and new concepts.

I think people should have the legal right to hurt themselves without fearing that they're going to get locked up for doing so. But on a personal level if someone I loved was hurting himself or herself in front of me I would of course try to restrain them.

Is not liberty the destruction of all despotism - including of course legal despotism?

I mean in some cases with libel laws you know they can write things about people who have no course of action because they can't afford to take legal action against them.

Pop songs are not as graceful as they used to be. Performers today haven't gone through the regimen of learning how to write. And of course everyone wants to own copyrights.

Students who are interested in learning about the environment should not be dissuaded from doing so but only if they have proved their proficiency in other basic courses such as U.S. history. Until then we need to focus on producing well-educated citizens steeped in their country's history and mindful of their civic responsibilities.

Of course I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative.

Of course learning is strengthened and solidified when it occurs in a safe secure and normal environment.

The prudent course is to make an investment in learning testing and understanding determine how the new concepts compare to how you now operate and thoughtfully determine how they apply to what you want to achieve in the future.

I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning four years were spent refining and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic.

The longer we go without strong leadership from the Administration and until we see significant progress in the day-to-day lives of the Iraqi people the more difficult it will become to sustain the support of the American people and Congress for the current course.

I think Chinese leadership is trying to tell the world they have another set of logic or reasoning or values which are different from yours. Of course I don't think they believe that. It's just an argument that's made when you can't confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power.

Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail.

The intercourse between the Mediterranean and the North or between the Atlantic and Central Europe was never purely economic or political it also meant the exchange of knowledge and ideas and the influence of social institutions and artistic and literary forms.

Scientific knowledge is a kind of discourse.

In England only uneducated people show off their knowledge nobody quotes Latin or Greek authors in the course of conversation unless he has never read them.

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs customs and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries elements difficult at times to justify by logic but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere since they open up for man his inner distance.

That's one of the reasons I moved to Florida. Of course the main reason is the weather and the training. But there's more jealousy in Switzerland because it's so little and they don't have so many athletes.

I wasn't privy to all of the intelligence that was coming in about Guatemala but I did see the traffic that was coming in from Guatemala City because it was very relevant to me and of course I exchanged what I had with the chief of station in Guatemala City.

Of course I believe in aliens. I think it's very egocentric to think that there's nothing else with intelligence in the whole universe.

Although I do use some of my psychology training in comedy but it's more like pop psychology not a course of treatment or anything. To me it's more like social intelligence.

Making use of human weaknesses in intelligence work is a logical matter. It keeps coming up and of course you try to look at all the aspects that interest you in a human being.

I've gotten to go wonderful places meet interesting and intelligent people and I started of course in the theatre and continue to work in the theatre where there is some intelligence involved in it.
