But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.

I think what he's - what he believes and he may be correct I don't know that we have some intelligence information that leads us to know some things about what's going on in Iraq that we haven't revealed to others.

It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others.

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.

Whoever is happy will make others happy too.

Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?

Imagination it turns out is a great deal like reporting in your own head. Here is a paradox of fiction-writing. You are crafting something from nothing which means in one sense that none of it is true. Yet in the writing and perhaps in the reading some of a character's actions or lines are truer than others.

It's through the small things that we develop our moral imagination so that we can understand the sufferings of others.

To put yourself in another's place requires real imagination but by doing so each Girl Scout will be able to love among others happily.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination nature is imagination itself.

I think that some books are more successful than others to certain readers. People who read my books for the humor they're going to love one book. People who read my books for the mystery they might not like that book quite as much.

I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important others not and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.

I told the President I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them they are not going to sit down and talk.

As I travel across the country speaking about MS perhaps I can offer others comfort and hope.

When one takes action for others one's own suffering is transformed into the energy that can keep one moving forward a light of hope illuminating a new tomorrow for oneself and others is kindled.

I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers If I belittle dogs and mothers.

A person who no matter how desperate the situation gives others hope is a true leader.

Now I look at where I am now and I know what I wanna to do. What I would like to be able to do is to spend whatever time I have left and to give and maybe some hope to others.

Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice that they're better than other human beings.

I hope that posterity will judge me kindly not only as to the things which I have explained but also to those which I have intentionally omitted so as to leave to others the pleasure of discovery.

The most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals. And have no hope of rising in their own self esteem but by lowering their neighbors.

In motivating people you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people I hope by example - and perhaps by excitement by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.

To the former child migrants who came to Australia from a home far away led to believe this land would be a new beginning when only to find it was not a beginning but an end an end of innocence - we apologise and we are sorry. To the mothers who lost the maternal right to love and care for their child - we apologise and we are sorry.
