Machiavelli's teaching would hardly have stood the test of Parliamentary government for public discussion demands at least the profession of good faith.

At least the fundamentalists haven't tried to dilute their message. Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see.

America traditionally represents the greatest possibility of someone's going from nothing to something. Why? In theory if not practice the government stays out of the way and lets individuals take risks and reap rewards or accept the consequences of failure. We call this capitalism - or at least we used to.

No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not at one time or other find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.

At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings.

There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all?

We have that illusion that we are 'deciding' what to make a character do in order to 'convey our message' or something like that. But at least in my experience you are often more like a river-rafting guide who's been paid a bonus to purposely steer your clients into the roughest possible water.

Performing is a profound experience at least for me.

Performing is a profound experience at least for me. It's not as if I sit down and play 'Fire and Rain' by myself just to hear it again. But to offer it up... the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back and I do get a reconnection to the emotions.

The questions which one asks oneself begin at least to illuminate the world and become one's key to the experience of others.

I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.

Screaming at children over their grades especially to the point of the child's tears is child abuse pure and simple. It's not funny and it's not good parenting. It is a crushing scarring disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny.

Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.

Fame will go by and so long I've had you fame. If it goes by I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience but that's not where I live.

All living beings not just animals but plants and microorganisms perceive. To survive an organic being must perceive - it must seek or at least recognize food and avoid environmental danger.

Napoleon was probably the equal at least of Washington in intellect his superior in education. Both of them were successful in serving the state.

Such schemes take money from people who can least afford to spend it to support an unneeded bureaucracy that eats money people thought they were providing for education.

In our post-9/11 world our Nation's military deserves at least the same access to institutions of higher education that any other major employer might enjoy.

One of the factors a country's economy depends on is human capital. If you don't provide women with adequate access to healthcare education and employment you lose at least half of your potential. So gender equality and women's empowerment bring huge economic benefits.

I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.

A child's education should begin at least one hundred years before he is born.

A black agenda is jobs jobs jobs quality education investment in infrastructure and strong democratic regulation of corporations. The black agenda at its best looks at America from the vantage point of the least of these and asks what's best for all.

My children to the extent that they have found religion have found it from me in that I insist on at least a modicum of religious education for them.

I know a lot of people think I'm dumb. Well at least I ain't no educated fool.
