A man has to learn that he cannot command things but that he can command himself that he cannot coerce the wills of others but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

On the one hand the guns were there to help capture the imagination of the people. But more important since we knew that you couldn't observe the police without guns we took our guns with us to let the police know that we have an equalizer.

I guess I'm a very keen observer and I'd like to think I have a good imagination.

First comes thought then organization of that thought into ideas and plans then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning as you will observe is in your imagination.

At the risk of appearing disingenuous I don't really think of myself as 'writing humor.' I'm simply reporting on the world I observe which is frequently hilarious.

Having a sense of humor has served me more than it has hurt me - just in the sense that it has allowed me to keep my sanity.

Humor has been the balm of my life but it's been reserved for those close to me not part of the public Lana.

Humor is a serious thing. I like to think of it as one of our greatest earliest natural resources which must be preserved at all cost.

I am not the same man I was 35 years ago. And I hope that five years and ten years from now I'll be a better man a more mature man a wiser man a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity.

I hope that I serve by being a teacher.

They who do not understand that a man may be brought to hope that which of all things is the most grievous to him have not observed with sufficient closeness the perversity of the human mind.

Corporations consumers and citizens must begin acting in concert to create a powerful third pillar of social transformation if we hope to meet the social challenges we currently face with equal force.

When I met my husband I refused to invite him home for Passover because I was embarrassed my mother might serve all the catered dishes in the wrong order.

So long as I'm Commander-in-Chief we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform we will serve you as well as you've served us - because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job or a roof over their head or the care that they need when they come home.

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.

India is a curious place that still preserves the past religions and its history. No matter how modern India becomes it is still very much an old country.

Man is not logical and his intellectual history is a record of mental reserves and compromises. He hangs on to what he can in his old beliefs even when he is compelled to surrender their logical basis.

The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece but he cannot of course create it.

I've declined every congressional benefit I could decline federal health insurance the retirement program the 403(b) program which I think is overly generous. I've got self-imposed term limits of six terms if I have the privilege to serve that long.

Myths about the dire effects of genetically modified foods on health and the environment abound but they have not held up to scientific scrutiny.
