If instead of a gem or even a flower we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend that would be giving as the angels give.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us we often find that it is those who instead of giving advice solutions or cures have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

We chose more freedom instead of more government. We chose the principles of our founding to solve the challenges of our time. We chose a special man to lead us in a special time. We chose Mitt Romney to lead our nation.

How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to say about it all.

It seems the most logical thing in the world to believe that the natural resources of the Earth upon which the race depends for food clothing and shelter should be owned collectively by the race instead of being the private property of a few social parasites.

It's easy for people in an air-conditioned room to continue with the policies of destruction of Mother Earth. We need instead to put ourselves in the shoes of families in Bolivia and worldwide that lack water and food and suffer misery and hunger.

Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement is the holy of holies of Jewish time. It is that rarest of phenomena a Jewish festival without food. Instead it is a day of fasting and prayer introspection and self-judgment when collectively and repeatedly we confess our sins and pray to be written into God's Book of Life.

Instead of going out to dinner buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy it's more important to make yourself feel good.

I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately instead of at three o clock in the morning.

You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it's a habit. I always say 'Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.' There is a lot to learn about fitness nutrition and emotions but once you do you can master them instead of them mastering you.

I don't want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. That can only work in the longer-term. I want euro bonds to be used to finance targeted investments in future-oriented growth projects. It isn't the same thing. Let's call them 'project bonds' instead of euro bonds.

We will be safer from terrorist attack only when we have earned the respect of all other nations instead of their fear respect for our values and not merely our weapons.

Fear prophets and those prepared to die for the truth for as a rule they make many others die with them often before them at times instead of them.

I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate and be instead a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

I seek no longer to be a 'famous' person and instead I wish to live a 'normal' life.

Family involvement is a valuable thing and playing together actively can be the '90s version of it. Instead of just watching you can do it together... something we don't spend enough time on. We can motivate and excite each other about fitness.

The left dismisses talk about the collapse of family life and talks instead about the emergence of the growing new diversity of family types.

It strikes me as odd that the free exercise of religious faith is sometimes treated as a problem something America is stuck with instead of blessed with.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax and float.

Foreign aid is neither a failure nor a panacea. It is instead an important tool of American policy that can serve the interests of the United States and the world if wisely administered.

Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is... the highway to success.

Failure is not a single cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead failure is a few errors in judgement repeated every day.
