One of the things that happens that's challenging within the democratic process is that people

say, 'Look at this failure, so we should totally change this whole thing.' And then you add in tons of bureaucratic process and checks and balances, and all of a sudden, it doesn't work that well.
Reid Hoffman

I build on Christ, the rock of ages; on his sure mercies described in his word, and on his promises, all which I know are yea and amen.
John Wesley

There is a lot of talk in conservative circles about judicial modesty and deferring to the political branches. That view of judging often overlooks the important role that courts have in protecting people's rights. But if there was ever a time to defer, it is when Congress is protecting voting rights in the exact way the Constitution directs it to.
Adam Cohen

It's a matter of opinion on many of these issues, and there's no right or wrong. That's why we have elections; that's why we have debates. Donald Trump thinks one thing. Hillary Clinton thinks another thing.
Andrew Cuomo

Broadcasting through 9/11 together, like Katie Couric and I did, creates a bond.
Matt Lauer

Recovery is an ongoing project that is really discrete from everything else in my life. It allows me to be an agent, allows me to write, allows me to be married, allows me to be part of a family. The writing is not a support beam of recovery but a happy consequence of it.
Bill Clegg

I think it's quite common for actors to almost rely on their characters to exercise parts of themselves in their regular life they don't tend to explore so much.
Katherine Waterston

My little brother played drums, so we had a drum set over at my house.
Synyster Gates

Look at Daft Punk and Kanye West. The song 'Stronger' was inspired by a Daft tune. Once the hip-hop scene opens up to all the great music that came out of dance, it will continue to spread to the more mainstream audience.

I proved myself in Barcelona, and after I proved myself in Germany, I wanted to prove myself in England.

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at

home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.

Jordin Sparks When you're a kid growing up, and you think you're gay, you know that you're different; you're often teased and it can really destroy your self-esteem. But sports can be great for building self-esteem. Greg Louganis As history has repeatedly proven, one trade tariff begets another, then another - until you've got a full-blown trade war. No one ever wins, and consumers always get screwed. Mark McKinnon There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays to the devil. Alfred North Whitehead I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment. Clara Hughes Sometimes I test myself saying, 'If I get a death sentence if I don't make this m

I mean, I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when

I was one, I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just, they are crazy, they are just like, yes, well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope. Shaun White My favorite time to dance is at, like, wedding receptions, when it's all ages and everyone seems to be having fun. Neil Patrick Harris Every writer dreams of writing a book that will touch people. Bruce Feiler My father taught me respect for quality as well as a sense of dignity - great values as we face a world going in a different direction. I try to teach my children to stay close to the real things. Diego Della Valle I'll have the chance to do a production number on A Capitol Fourth. Barry Bostwick That's what I miss out of all this synthesized music - it starts to lose dynamics. Glenn Frey Even when one is doing well, one still worries that things might go badly again in the future. Th

We want to be the go-to business for super-special daywear and eveningwear, to focus on

  what we are known for and what our customers want from us. Giles Deacon For me, it's fine to be aggressive and play hard. As long as you're not getting personal, it's fine, and you can do whatever you can to upset the opposition. Gautam Gambhir President Trump ran on protecting U.S. jobs and renegotiating unfair trade policies - those policies strengthen labor laws around the world. Jan Schakowsky The war in Afghanistan is underreported. Anderson Cooper I watched a lot of old movies. Clint Eastwood movies, a lot of John Wayne films, a lot of movies that celebrated the region of where I lived. Taylor Sheridan The lack of portability and competition has long been a problem in America's insurance market, yet Obamacare took no significant steps to open up the market between state lines. Bill Flores It's hard losing a parent, especially dad because he was always behind me. It was his dream and my dream for me to become a footballer. Riyad Mahrez I think the average cou

My interest in Virtual Reality (VR) films began for me when I began a fellowship

with MIT's Open Documentary Lab. It was a profound experience to be on MIT's campus one day a week and to enter a new world of storytelling where breaking convention and traditional methods were expected. This was deeply challenging and inspiring. Raney Aronson-Rath Richard Madden, I loved to work alongside him; he's a very funny man.

Karin Slaughter Each year on Impact Day, I love seeing our people fill classrooms, parks, and training centers to make a difference in communities across the country. Cathy Engelbert Elon M

The past is still visible. The buildings haven't changed, the layout of the streets hasn't

changed. So memory is very available to me as I walk around. Jonathan Lethem I cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King my republican feelings and principles forbid it the simplicity of our system of government forbids it. Andrew Jackson Anyone who loses a parent, you have to find those parts of yourself that your parent held true in themselves, especially if they're supportive parents. Anthony Rapp When you borrow money, you should always think how you're going to pay it back. Dmitry Medvedev I'm the world's expert on sterotypes held by academics about athletes and held by athletes about academics. To me, both of them are caricatures. A. Bartlett Giamatti A society in which there are high levels of voluntary activity will simply be a better, happier place than one where there are not. Jonathan Sacks In my life and career I want to embrace ageing because I think that's what's interesting

I'm not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I'm a

very good boyfriend, but there are times when I'm useless. I mean, I'm a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things.

And on occasion I can make them excited about going to the theater again, if they've ceased or gone less.

those who have been killed fighting the war on terrorism, by dedicating ourselves to building a free and peaceful world safe from the threat of terrorism.

To cause the face to appear in a mass of flame make use of the

following: mix together thoroughly petroleum, lard, mutton tallow and quick lime. Distill this over a charcoal fire, and the liquid which results can be burned on the face without harm. Harry Houdini Universities want to recruit the students that they believe will best represent the university while in school and beyond. Students with a robust social media presence and clearly defined personal brand stand to become only more influential. Amy Jo Martin I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two. Yelawolf I don't use a debit card. The safest thing is a credit card because you're using the bank's money. If someone accesses your information, they are stealing the bank's money, not yours. Frank Abagnale History is laden with belligerent leaders using humanitarian rhetoric to mask geopolitical aims. Hist

HAG Records, is a company that I've owned. I've had a couple of gospel releases

on it. We developed a pretty good distribution setup there and we do have something to use in case they don't want to sign us. Merle Haggard I'm a product of good nutrition, cutting edge supplementation and hard training, and I'm an old guy. Warren Cuccurullo Awards are always a pleasant surprise.
