In dwelling live close to the ground. In thinking keep to the simple. In conflict be fair and generous. In governing don't try to control. In work do what you enjoy. In family life be completely present.

My family background was deeply Christian.

It's really important to say this. Often the faith schools were founded before the state provided education. I want good education in this country so I'm not going to slag off faith schools. I think that it's important that people of different backgrounds and different faiths go to school together and many faith schools do that.

Christianity emerged from the religion of Israel. Or rather it has as its background a persistent strain in that religion. To that strain Christians have looked back and rightly as the preparation in history for their faith.

The ultimate ground of faith and knowledge is confidence in God.

I think that my preaching style and many of my ideas and ideals about faith are based in both Pentecostal and Baptist background.

Until as recently as November of 1966 I had complete faith in the Warren Report. Of course my faith in the Report was grounded in ignorance since I had never read it.

All that I say is examine inquire. Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of your opinions the for and against. Know why you believe understand what you believe and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.

Well I think first of all there was a failure to have real clear information at our disposal. There was a real lack of situational awareness. We didn't have the capabilities on the ground to give us real-time accurate assessments of the physical condition of the city.

There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero where there's no expectations and that's where I like to be.

There is no middle ground in Hollywood you're a failure or you're a success. That mentality is wild.

Well my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.

Food is our common ground a universal experience.

We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces which represent 30% of our musical experience.

Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.

I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality in freedom of speech and in tolerance compassion and understanding for people irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles.

And my career the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.

My education and background thoroughly inform my writing.

I've seen people with a tremendous amount of educational background in the field not turn out to be terribly good actors and I've seen people with no education in the field turn out to be people that I admire quite a bit.

Unfortunately the real achievements of children on the ground became debased and devalued because Labor education secretaries sounded like Soviet commissars praising the tractor production figures when we know that those exams were not the rock-solid measures of achievement that children deserve.

I was in fashion school my brother has a law background and my sister-in-law had worked in production but none of us had a proper fashion business education.

In Mexico theater is very underground so if you're a theater actor it's very difficult to make a living. But it's also a very beautiful pathway to knowledge and to an open education.

Further Education should be about the ability to learn not the ability to pay - everyone who is able should have the opportunity regardless of their family background. I don't want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place.

A liberal education... frees a man from the prison-house of his class race time place background family and even his nation.
