If we don't make earnest moves toward real solutions then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad and yet potentially joyous state of America.

I have tender romantic associations with upstate New York.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs the final battleground of the American dream where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.

I think the crux of the matter was that if we were going to become partners in for example the International Space Station we had to gain the respect of a country like the United States and particularly its space organization NASA.

The reason it has relevance is because I as a popular Arab personality - the Arab people like me and respect me - thought it was time for me to make an ever so tiny statement about what I thought about this whole thing.

With respect to Holy Communion it is up to the communicant to decide whether they are in a state of grace and worthy to receive the Eucharist. Each one of us makes that decision.

The liberties and freedoms which we hold dear and we recognize and cherish and respect guide the way we gather information in the United States.

The only ground on which a neutral State can claim respect at the hands of belligerents is that so far as she is concerned their rights are protected.

With respect to the northeastern boundary of the United States no official correspondence between this Government and that of Great Britain has passed since that communicated to Congress toward the close of their last session.

The territorial state is such an ancient form of society - here in Europe it dates back thousands of years - that it is now protected by the sanctity of age and the glory of tradition. A strong religious feeling mingles with the respect and the devotion to the fatherland.

I undertake that in the exercise of my functions of that office I will have regard to any guidance with respect to ethical standards issued by the secretary of state under Section 66 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.

In the United States we do a pretty good job of protecting iconic landscapes and postcard views but the ocean gets no respect.

Just as the process of repealing national alcohol prohibition began with individual states repealing their own prohibition laws so individual states must now take the initiative with respect to repealing marijuana prohibition laws.

I respect the state workers and I respect their unions but we simply can't afford to pay benefits and pensions that are out of line with economic reality.

Even the most understated ceremony involves a certain respect for ritual and pageantry. No one plays more of a significant role than the bride's attendants.

In better times the religion of the tribe or state has nothing in common with the private and foreign superstitions or magical rites that savage terror may dictate to the individual.

Organized religion provides a model of the way all organizations from the state down to the village garden club end a price in terms of a member's freedom of thought and action.

Art and Religion are then two roads by which men escape from circumstance to ecstasy. Between aesthetic and religious rapture there is a family alliance. Art and Religion are means to similar states of mind.

When state and religion are one religion becomes a means for the powerful to remain in power.

Oh there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.

No religion can long continue to maintain its purity when the church becomes the subservient vassal of the state.

The increase of territory and power of empires by force of arms has been the policy of all great powers and it has always been possible to get the approval of their state religion.

I should like to repeat what I stated recently in the Jeddah Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia: It won't be the religion but rather the world-view of some of its followers that shall be made current.

There are several reasons why Russians view the oppressive state positively. First in the Russian Orthodox religion there is an understanding of authority as something sent by God.
