Since the goal of my programs is to show audiences how humor can both help them heal as well as deal with not-so-funny stuff I decided to discuss the events of the previous week the pain all of us were feeling and how humor and some laughter might be beneficial.

Down the road I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on and humor.

Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.

The satirist shoots to kill while the humorist brings his prey back alive and eventually releases him again for another chance.

I hope one day I will host my own charity event to give back to society.

You can always get the truth from an American statesman after he has turned seventy or given up all hope of the Presidency.

I certainly notice the vitality in Belfast which wasn't there in the Seventies. There was a war going on then. Now there are cranes everywhere. There really is a sense of renewal and hope.

Any institution faces two basic choices if they hope to spark new ideas. One is to leverage the brains trust within their organization by creating a special event dedicated to new thinking. The other is to look outside themselves to stimulate solutions.

Today I can declare my hope and declare it from the bottom of my heart that we will eventually see the time when that number of nuclear weapons is down to zero and the world is a much better place.

At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world but he know he can't.

Events at home at work in the street - these are the bases for a story.

I've now been in this country for thirteen years since I was seventeen. So this is my second home.

Christmas... is not an external event at all but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.

You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.

Why shouldn't rap be esoteric able to take in current events history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers because they're black can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.

If history is any indication all truths will eventually turn out to be false.

Introspection and preserved writings give us far more insight into the ways of past humans than we have into the ways of past dinosaurs. For that reason I'm optimistic that we can eventually arrive at convincing explanations for these broadest patterns of human history.

The process of making natural history films is to try to prevent the animal knowing you are there so you get glimpses of a non-human world and that is a transporting thing.

In the tumult of men and events solitude was my temptation now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?

No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then and it is misremembered now.

Neither current events nor history show that the majority rule or ever did rule.

The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner but that they reflect a certain underlying order which may or may not be divinely inspired.

I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French.

History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.
