It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.

Though the general principles of statecraft have survived the rise and fall of empires every increase in knowledge has brought about changes in the political economic and social structure.

Readership was high and very attentive. It was people's only source of knowledge about the world.

We need to think more about the nature of rhetoric in anthropology. There isn't a body of knowledge and thought to fall back on in this regard.

As an actor you have an accumulated knowledge base. But there's also something about it that every time you really feel like you're doing it for the first time you have no idea whether you're capable of it.

Do you remember when you found out you wouldn't live forever? People don't talk about this but everybody had to go through it because you're not born with that knowledge.

The real difference between a man's scientific judgments about himself and the judgment of others about him is he has added sources of knowledge.

I thought they may have presumed too much knowledge of certain things for people who are not comedians. Like Montreal. A comic understands what it is and its importance but someone else may not know about it.

I had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria's early years. Like everyone else I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her though that she had a very loving relationship with Albert that they had lots of kids and that he died young.

I wish I had known more firsthand about the concerns and problems of American businesspeople while I was a U.S. senator and later a presidential nominee. That knowledge would have made me a better legislator and a more worthy aspirant to the White House.

Knowledge is generally considered a good thing so presumably knowing more about how the U.S. thinks and operates around the world is also good.

Science fiction writers I am sorry to say really do not know anything. We can't talk about science because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial and usually our fiction is dreadful.

It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly.

I have thought about it a great deal and the more I think the more certain I am that obedience is the gateway through which knowledge yes and love too enter the mind of the child.

I don't think any person has any special knowledge about what God has planned for me and you any more than me and you do.
