The link between my experience as an entrepreneur and that of a politician is all in one word: freedom.

Japan is the most intoxicating place for me. In Kyoto there's an inn called the Tawaraya which is quite extraordinary. The Japanese culture fascinates me: the food the dress the manners and the traditions. It's the travel experience that has moved me the most.

I don't like to generalize but I've had nothing but bad experiences with Mexican food in Europe.

Take a trip to the forest and experience the greatness of getting on your knees and picking your own food and going home... and eating it.

Eating and food are a wonderful part of our life's experience and half of us are walking around dreading having to figure out what to put in our mouths.

The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite. Without this it is impossible to accumulate within the allotted span enough experience of eating to have anything worth setting down.

It makes sense that we came up with our public school system during the Industrial Revolution because it's like everybody is a factory worker eating their terrible food and going back to the room where you're silent and listening to an idiot. That's an epitomizing idea getting called 'Nothing' for your whole high school experience.

Many dotcoms recruited people from existing companies who were quite experienced in finance marketing distribution and other disciplines but not necessarily experienced in the Web culture.

Masood Ahmed brings to the position of director of external relations extensive experience gained in a range of senior positions in international finance and development.

People just want to hear some common sense... and I bring to bear the experience in local government and state government and national government - I was the first woman in history on the Senate Finance Committee - not to mention the diplomatic international experience.

My optimism is not based primarily on the successful march of democracy in recent times but rather is based on the experience of having lived in a fear society and studied the mechanics of tyranny that sustain such a society.

Yet it ought to be obvious that good music generally occupies a higher plane that mere politics. Great writers can express moods through melody and capture experiences we share most powerfully - love lust longing joy rage fear triumph yearning and confusion.

The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you.

At each of these northern posts there were interesting experiences in store for me as one who had read all the books of northern travel and dreamed for half a lifetime of the north and that was - almost daily meeting with famous men.

To me money is the ability to create lifelong experiences for my family and myself to educate my children and a way to give back to humanity.

I don't want to be reincarnated that's for sure. When you've had rewarding experiences in your life - a loving family friends - you don't need additional reassurances that you're going to do something with a new cast of characters. I'd just as soon pass.

As a novelist I mined my history my family and my memory but in a very specific way. Writing fiction I never made use of experiences immediately as they happened. I needed to let things fester in my memory mature and transmogrify into something meaningful.

For the first time ever I was taking the family on the road. We stayed with my in-laws which on life's list of experiences ranks right below sitting in a tub full of scissors.

In this connection faith and experience teach us many truths by means of the short-cut of authority and by the proofs of very pleasant and agreeable feelings.

But back to your question it was a wonderful experience with the Art Ensemble and I keep in contact and sort of follow what's going on but it was also very important to make this step you may say this leap of faith.

The marriage of a man and woman is the most enduring human institution honored in all cultures and by every religious faith. It's in this institution that children are meant to be nurtured. We know this after thousands of years of human experience.

Let's say black the whole black religious experience here is very impressive to me because when I first arrived I realized that people carry their faith with so much pride.
