Faith is not a sense nor sight nor reason but taking God at His work.

Our country's political discourse and debate are enriched by discussions of the political implications of our faith traditions whether they are taking place in our communities at our dinner tables or in our places of worship.

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

It is often the failure who is the pioneer in new lands new undertakings and new forms of expression.

Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive of course but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.

The failure of national economic policy is costing us more than jobs it has begun to weaken that uniquely American spirit of risk-taking large ambition and optimism about the future. We must rally them now to bold departures that rebuild our national morale as well as our material prosperity.

Your own experience keeps taking you towards something. My book adds the hope that it's a better something.

I had no expectations about fatherhood really but it's definitely a journey I'm glad to be taking. Number one it's a great learning experience. When my mother told me it's a 24/7 job she wasn't kidding.

I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it's like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.

It wouldn't be fair to say that conservatives cherish property the way liberals cherish equality. But it would be fair to say that the takings clause is the conservatives' recipe for judicial activism just as they say liberals have misused the equal protection clause.

I went to drama school for four years at Carnegie Mellon conservatory training before television comedy. I was doing Shakespeare and Chekov plays. It's about delivering on the promise of a $100 000 education and taking the shackles off and trying the hand at my craft. I'm thrilled with what I've seen so far.

The big shift in approach on education that we are taking - which is different from what happened before - is that we trust teachers and we trust heads.

What we're doing now is we're saying that individual schools can spend the money on their own priorities so that head teachers can decide what's truly important because the big shift in approach on education that we're taking - which is different from what happened before - is that we trust teachers and we trust heads.

There is a subconscious way of taking violence as a way of expression as a normality and it has a lot of effects in the youth in the way they absorb education and what they hope to get out of life.

Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.

The follow your dreams thing is really important because so many people are railroaded into taking other paths by their family their friends people who should be supportive going 'What are you talking about?' Even just seemingly regular career paths but if it's not what people expect for you they kind of react funny.

The way to kill a man or a nation is to cut off his dreams the way the whites are taking care of the Indians: killing their dreams their magic their familiar spirits.

I was starting to become impotent through this diet and couldn't perform. How many people who are taking the little blue pill if they started to change what they are eating most of the time could change the way their sex life is?

English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.

I think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that you're making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. It's not just an aesthetic decoration.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design and love when things are beautiful.

My death taking the light from my eyes gives back to the day the purity which they soiled.

Giving is good but taking is bad and brings death.
