The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

When a great team loses through complacency it will constantly search for new and more intricate explanations to explain away defeat.

The search after the great men is the dream of youth and the most serious occupation of manhood.

The great question that has never been answered and which I have not yet been able to answer despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul is 'What does a woman want?'

If a student takes the whole series of my folklore courses including the graduate seminars he or she should learn something about fieldwork something about bibliography something about how to carry out library research and something about how to publish that research.

I think young writers should get other degrees first social sciences arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.

Power must be used but it must be tempered by soul-searching and the recognition of our human capacity for error. That is the maxim that should inform our approach to every challenge from reforming state government to engaging in foreign affairs.

The federal government has sponsored research that has produced a tomato that is perfect in every respect except that you can't eat it. We should make every effort to make sure this disease often referred to as 'progress' doesn't spread.

The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is is that when we succeed we succeed because of our individual initiative but also because we do things together.

It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.

I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor when to God who is the searcher of our hearts all our privacies are open?

In search of my mother's garden I found my own.

The United States is locked in a new arms race for that most precious resource - the future entrepreneurs upon whom economic growth depends. Substantial research shows that immigrants play a key role in American job creation.

Customers don't know what they want. There's plenty of good psychology research that shows that people are not able to accurately predict how they would behave in the future. So asking them 'Would you buy my product if it had these three features?' or 'How would you react if we changed our product this way?' is a waste of time. They don't know.

I'm on a search for my future ex-wife.

The valid research for the future is on the inner side on the spiritual side.

In particular for younger researchers on whom the future of mankind may depend. We believe that they are working with all the scientific wisdom at their disposal for the preservation of the inheritance of the earth and for the lasting survival of mankind.

We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community.

Money won't buy happiness but it will pay the salaries of a large research staff to study the problem.

Our constitutional liberties shall not be sacrificed in our search for greater security for that is what our enemies and all enemies of freedom and democracy hope to achieve.

While it's really hard to do at the same time I'm escaping my body which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life.

The search for human freedom can never be complete without freedom for women.

Take young researchers put them together in virtual seclusion give them an unprecedented degree of freedom and turn up the pressure by fostering competitiveness.
