All the idols made by man however terrifying they may be are in point of fact subordinate to him and that is why he will always have it in his power to destroy them.

The value systems of those with access to power and of those far removed from such access cannot be the same. The viewpoint of the privileged is unlike that of the underprivileged.

You have a lot of ups and downs in coaching especially but I can't remember any bad times at this point. I mean they're all good. A lot of tears when you lose a lot of down times but I can't remember any of them. They're all positive now. Even the bad times were good.

But nobody is listening to those points. They are just listening to the gossip which is saying that I knew I was positive for all these years because I had a faked test a few years ago.

Children may not notice the positive moments in life unless we point them out to them.

When you come off something really disappointing you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

I think Gadhafi is on the mark. And up until this point in time I think they truly want to turn this around and become a positive player with the West after years and years of terrorism and stagnation.

If you look just at the decades after 1934 you know it's hard to point to really inspired and positive support from outside of Haiti to Haiti and much easier to point to either small-minded or downright mean-spirited policies.

I have never won a race and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.

I think we all suffer from guilt at some point in our lives but for the most part I never really regret and I try to always remain positive. Yes I think that those issues are very interesting to play in a character and they're prominent issues in life and I think people can relate to them.

People don't really understand but having people stare and point and take pictures even if it is in a positive framework is quite isolating there's no two ways about it. You feel a little bit you know freakish.

When people ask me about my story I just go through the positive stuff: the tent-pole moments the big landmark checkpoints.

Well you know a lot of people look at the negative things the things that they did wrong and - which I do. But I like to stress on the things I did right because there are certain things that I like to look at from a positive standpoint that are just positive reinforcement.

I really struggle with that feeling of helplessness. That's why I really try to get my blogs and even myself to point to the positive and look at all the inspiring things that are happening.

A purely objective viewpoint does not exist in the cosmos or in politics.

There's a rule of thumb in politics. If you're at a point where you're complaining about the other guy being mean and unfair and uncivil that's probably a sign that you're losing.

The precise point at which a tax deduction becomes a 'loophole' or a tax incentive becomes a 'subsidy for special interests' is one of the great mysteries of politics.

When a Cabinet Minister who is sacked for telling lies is re-appointed in the face of every constitutional convention only for the same man to be sacked again from the same Cabinet for the same offence by the same Prime Minister no wonder the public are cynical about politics.

I'm looking forward to the day when America will mature to the point that we are a color-blind society. I'm not so sure that in politics that will ever be reality because politics has a way of separating us based on skin color.

Vote for the man who promises least he'll be the least disappointing.

No art form points like poetry to this originality of language as to its essential and abiding concern.

At this point we've answered about every question you could possibly imagine about Deep Space Nine so we do this thing called Theatrical Jazz where we do a show of bits and pieces of things from plays and literature poetry... stuff that we like. It's fun.

I heard Nirvana and discovered that songs could be like poetry but a little bit more refined: you didn't have to have 20 verses to get your point across.

I think that great poetry is the most interesting and complex use of the poet's language at that point in history and so it's even more exciting when you read a poet like Yeats almost 100 years old now and you think that perhaps no one can really top that.
