If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

God provides minimum protection, maximum support--support to help us grow up, to stretch our minds and hearts until they are as wide as God's universe.

To a mind that is still, the entire universe surrenders.

I'm not a hopeless romantic. I'm quite the reverse. I'm a nasty piece of work, an ego maniac.

During the holidays everyone needs a break from studying for exams and Christmas shopping. I wanted to put together a diverse tour that rocks in many musical directions but always points to Christ.

I love my work with a frenetic and perverse love as an ascetic loves the hair shirt which scratches his belly.

Man unlike anything organic or inorganic in the universe grows beyond his work walks up the stairs of his concepts emerges ahead of his accomplishments.

The religious superstitions of women perpetuate their bondage more than all other adverse influences.

We must expect reverses even defeats. They are sent to teach us wisdom and prudence to call forth greater energies and to prevent our falling into greater disasters.

We didn't start this war - the right wing did. We're tired of seeing good-paying jobs shipped overseas. This fight is about the economy it's about jobs and it's about rebuilding America.

New terms used like 'overseas contingency operation' instead of the word 'war' - that reflects a worldview that is out of touch with the enemy that we face. We can't spin our way out of this threat.

By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive Truth.

Every legend moreover contains its residuum of truth and the root function of language is to control the universe by describing it.

However greatly we distrust the sincerity of those we converse with yet still we think they tell more truth to us than to anyone else.

A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.

Truth is something which can't be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.

We have to compete in a universe of 200 networks so we have to carve out our own niche and to me that niche is just basic shoe-leather journalism with some good journalists at the helm you can trust as presenters.

All of my friends are animal people. To me cats are people too. Animals are people too. I travel a lot and when I go overseas it's really hard on me because the animals are treated much differently especially in developing countries.

I usually just have one cat. It is difficult but I have my one cat that he'll travel with me if it's appropriate if I'm not going overseas.

Shall we ever see the 10 million things of the universe simultaneously in order to be the all? I am convinced that to live is to travel towards the world's end.

I was born to travel and write verse.

The photograph reverses the purpose of travel which until now had been to encounter the strange and unfamiliar.

If we do discover a complete theory it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all philosophers scientists and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
