the past and fear we haven't learned from it. I believe that humanity is capable of evil as well as great acts of courage and goodness. I have hope.

economy is the private sector. The government cannot create jobs. If the government could create jobs, then Communism would have worked. But didn't work.

page, or anything like that. So for me, that's what the show is about. For me - is a way to interact with fans; being up onstage and showing them, through music - which is all I really know - the best way to say thank you. Nate Ruess Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. C. S. Lewis My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.

breakthroughs and edit out all the experimental mistakes doesn't mean that mistakes play a trivial role. As any artist or scientist knows, without some protected, even sacred space for mistakes, innovation would cease. Evgeny Morozov Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Carl Jung It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best. W. Edwards Deming If I was working hard, she bled into my personality. I became more cynical.

Cher Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party. James F. Cooper Well did graduate summa c...

friend who is willing to be stupid and fun. If you try and be too cool, it only works in high school. After that, being uncool is a very cool thing to do.

So I think that's what makes me fight harder to provide an option to aspiring kids or artists.

Utada Hikaru His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the b...

impossible way of fixing year by year the anniversary of a historical event, but a very natural and indeed inevitable way of calculating a solar festival.

That I can do, but to sit and write a pop song out of the clear blue sky, that is very difficult and I admire the people that can do it. Barry Manilow That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race. Alain Prost I push for what I think can be the best, and if I feel they're not going for the best, it kills me.

a group of billionaires - including me, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Ted Turner - who have pledged to give away most of their money to charity. We meet for three days to talk about what we're doing to help make the planet a better place to live. John Paul DeJoria A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. Emo Philips Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. Lou Holtz Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but clones kind of get it wrong because we are promoting individuality and being proud of being yourself. Brian Molko You don't know what you can get away with until you try. Colin Powell As a rule lawyers tend to want to do whatever they can to win. Bill Williams I consider myself a religious person. God is something very personal with me and I don't flaunt religion in conversation with others. Richard Chamberlain These companies are in it for ...

age. Being in music, you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what you're doing and keep your imagination open.

Buckley, Jr. It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess. John Selden We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry. William Butler Yeats Enclave life becomes very tense, Even when they do elect a leader, the factions remain, with the threat of splitting off.

Hull The State acquires power... and because of its insatiable lust for power it is incapable of giving up any of it. The State never abdicates.

partner is too legalistic. The answer brought from academia to the political world by Henry Kissinger and now bandied in the boardroom is colleague.
