Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

One of the great questions of philosophy is do we innately have morality or do we get it from celestial dictation? A study of the Ten Commandments is a very good way of getting into and resolving that issue.

I was an OK boxer I wasn't great I was OK but I loved the discipline of getting together every Monday Wednesday and Friday usually Saturday afternoons too with a whole bunch of mates and training very very hard for about two-and-half hours.

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.

The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.

ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so one could blame the companies but really economically they have no incentive to change things very much because they're getting the business.

I think that if we get back to some basic fundamental principles we can make sure that we resolve the issues. And I think that that's what the Tea Party was all about. It's getting back to a constitutional conservative government. And that is limited but it's also effective and efficient. I think that that's what we'll be able to do.

We've been so preoccupied with getting the government to behave in a fair and democratic way we were not able to focus on the private sector where most of the jobs are where most of the wealth and opportunities are.

The honest truth is that if this government were to propose the massacre of the first-born it would still have no difficulty in getting it through the Commons.

Getting the government to put money into social programs run by religious institutions is a practice that started during the Clinton years when Bill Clinton advocated the AmeriCorps program.

I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.

President Reagan was elected on the promise of getting government off the backs of the people and now he demands that government wrap itself around the waists of the people.

The black market was a way of getting around government controls. It was a way of enabling the free market to work. It was a way of opening up enabling people.

The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing not because they have a concern for what is good for the country.

I don't believe in team motivation. I believe in getting a team prepared so it knows it will have the necessary confidence when it steps on a field and be prepared to play a good game.

Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.

It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes it was 29 years.

Chocolate is the first luxury. It has so many things wrapped up in it: Deliciusness in the moment childhood memories and that grin-inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good.

It is not all bad this getting old ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.

I was baptized alongside my mother when I was 8 years old. Since then I have tried to walk a Christian life. And now that I'm getting older I realized that I'm walking even closer with my God.

When suffering comes we yearn for some sign from God forgetting we have just had one.

I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there doing my own thing... getting back to reality.

Whether they run a record company or a grocery store every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now not next year.

That future depends on the values of self-government our sense of duty loyalty self-confidence and regard for the common good. We are a diverse country and getting more diverse. And these virtues are what keep this great country together.
