I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

In truth politeness is artificial good humor it covers the natural want of it and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.

We have a moral responsibility to save wild places like the arctic refuge for future generations and that is why our country has remained committed to its protection for nearly 50 years.

Clearly some creative thinking is badly needed if humans are to have a future beyond Earth. Returning to the Moon may be worthy and attainable but it fails to capture the public's imagination. What does get people excited is the prospect of a mission to Mars.

Well clearly for me in the immediate future it is grappling like so many other governors are grappling with the economic woes of these states. We were all hoping to see some federal relief.

At this early stage in our evolution now through our infancy and into our childhood and then with luck our growing up what our species needs most of all right now is simply a future.

People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can't sustain them.

The Nautilus was piercing the water with its sharp spur after having accomplished nearly ten thousand leagues in three months and a half a distance greater than the great circle of the earth. Where were we going now and what was reserved for the future?

As a child is indulged or checked in its early follies a ground is generally laid for the happiness or misery of the future man.

We can chart our future clearly and wisely only when we know the path which has led to the present.

It is not enough to understand or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task.

Mail your packages early so the post office can lose them in time for Christmas.

Be obscure clearly.

In those early years in New York when I was a stranger in a big city it was the companionship and later friendship which I was offered in the Linnean Society that was the most important thing in my life.

The rare few who early in life have rid themselves of the friendship of the many.

If we are to judge of love by its consequences it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship.

A growing number of young women who have the freedom to decide have decided that career can wait and the delicious early years of their children's lives can't.

Now we understand much more clearly. why people from all over the world want to come to New York and to America. It's called freedom.

Freedom of expression is the matrix the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom.

I never abandoned either forms or freedom. I imagine that most of what could be called free verse is in my first book. I got through that fairly early.

We clearly realize that freedom's inner kingdom cannot be touched by exterior attacks.

Certain things happened in the early church. Women who had never had any freedom suddenly have the ability to stand up and speak and be treated as equals within the life of the church.

History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition.

Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.
