The hypothesis of surviving intelligence and personality - not only surviving but anxious and able with difficulty to communicate - is the simplest and most straightforward and the only one that fits all the facts.

It is difficult if not impossible to argue that laws written in the 1970s are adequate for today's intelligence challenges.

Prior to the passage of the Patriot Act it was very difficult - often impossible - for us to share information with the Central Intelligence Agency with NSA with the other intelligence agencies and likewise for them to share information with us.

Many difficulties which nature throws in our way may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence.

It was just very interesting to me that certain types of women inspire people's imagination and all of them were very difficult women.

And you know whether it's drama or comedy the best work is based on truth. It's just that with comedy the circumstances are just crazy-heightened and you have these crazy things thrown at you. But you still have to do it truthfully because that's where the humor comes from. So it's not that difficult to cross over.

Those years on the golf course as a caddie boy those people were something. They were vulgar some were alcoholics racist they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn't have a sense of humor.

Wherever my story takes me however dark and difficult the theme there is always some hope and redemption not because readers like happy endings but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.

I'm more than open to hope but I think men and women have a difficult time dealing with each other and often take the low road.

If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult at best and all but unlivable at worst or possibly even unlivable do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn't forced to encounter the worst possibility then it's a lie.

The difficulty of IVF or of any fertility issues is the hope and the shattered hope the dream that it might happen this time and then it doesn't happen.

One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter who you are or what your position is you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve.

It is difficult to say what is impossible for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

In principle if I could not have a home I wouldn't. But not having a home would be too difficult procedurally going from hotel to hotel the gap of three hours where you're hungry and tired.

No let's make sure that people understand that this is a very important war that is helping to protect us here at home. And that we have no choice but to win it. As difficult as it is.

My sisters both are working mothers. I understand that my being an actress as well as being at home isn't some heroic thing. That doesn't mean it isn't confusing or difficult - especially that question of how you find a balance.

My mother is a special story. She went through so much to bring us up four men at home especially when our country was going through really difficult times.

At Home in the World is the story of a young woman raised in some difficult circumstances and how she survives. It tells a story of redemption not victimhood.

I kiss the soil as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother for the homeland is our earthly mother. I consider it my duty to be with my compatriots in this sublime and difficult moment.

There is a widespread difficulty in the Muslim world which has to do with how the people are taught about examining their own history. A whole range of stuff has been placed off limits.

Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.

The greater the difficulty the more the glory in surmounting it.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new so we must think anew and act anew.

A common misconception is that the costs of health care are cheaper in rural America when in fact the reality is that they are more expensive and more difficult to access.
