Despite the encouraging and wonderful gains and the changes for women which have occurred in my lifetime there is still room to advance and to promote correction of the remaining deficiencies and imbalances.

Older women are like aging strudels - the crust may not be so lovely but the filling has come at last into its own.

Writing is no dying art form in America because most published writers here accept the wisdom and the necessity of encouraging the talent that follows in their footsteps.

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.

Enraging liberals is simply one of the more enjoyable side effects of my wisdom.

There used to be this feeling under Eisenhower and Kennedy and Roosevelt and Truman that government was a solution. Trust in the presidency fell precipitously under Johnson - real lows. And it's never come back. It's a trend that if you're liberal is really discouraging.

Aging gracefully is supposed to mean trying not to hide time passing and just looking a wreck. Don't worry girls look like a wreck that's the way it goes.

Not managing your time and making excuses are two bad habits. Don't put them both together by claiming you 'don't have the time'.

Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content.

Now a lot of what we are doing right now quite frankly is because of what happened on Christmas. Many of the things were kind of in the works. We were already planning for example the purchase and deployment of advanced imaging technology. You call them body scanners. We call them AITs (Advanced Imaging Technologies).

All images generated by imaging technology are viewed in a walled-off location not visible to the public. The officer assisting the passenger never sees the image and the officer viewing the image never interacts with the passenger. The imaging technology that we use cannot store export print or transmit images.

As part of our layered approach we have expedited the deployment of new Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) units to help detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats on passengers. These machines are now in use at airports nationwide and the vast majority of travelers say they prefer this technology to alternative screening measures.

It is impossible to work in information technology without also engaging in social engineering.

Microsoft is engaging in unlawful predatory practices that go well beyond the scope of fair competition.

This sympathy is not translated into force against the British government because it is not like the anti- apartheid movement which had a high profile here and Mandela is a more engaging figure than Yasser Arafat.

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.

I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.

I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.

Jessica Simpson is the youth ambassador for Operation Smile and an episode of The Apprentice featured a team managing a charity concert she put on. Donald Trump came on stage and pledged a donation.

A student never forgets an encouraging private word when it is given with sincere respect and admiration.

Individual psychotherapy - that is engaging a distressed fellow human in a disciplined conversation and human relationship - requires that the therapist have the proper temperament and philosophy of life for such work. By that I mean that the therapist must be patient modest and a perceptive listener rather than a talker and advice-giver.

My parents are artists in their world in the world of modern artists you are supposed to just go into your studio and tune everything out and your entire relationship with your work is supposed to be a super private one. That was the way to do it and you weren't deeply truly artistic if that wasn't the way you were engaging the press.

Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer and then itself marches upon neighboring lands killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?

There is slow growth but it is positive slow growth. At the same time ratios of debt-to-incomes go down. That's a beautiful deleveraging.
