Few expected very much of Franklin Roosevelt on Inauguration Day in 1933. Like Barack Obama seventy-six years later he was succeeding a failed Republican president and Americans had voted for change. What that change might be Roosevelt never clearly said probably because he himself didn't know.

I don't have clear-cut positions. I get baffled by things. I have viewpoints. Sometimes they change.

I went through life like an idiot for a great deal of the time saying there's nothing I would change. That was a very arrogant thing to say. There's a lot I would change. There are people I would have steered clear of.

Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.

Action and reaction ebb and flow trial and error change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence fear out of our fear clearer vision fresh hope. And out of hope progress.

I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.

The business is a very tricky obstacle course and you should be very clear about work begetting work. If you're not working you're not interesting.

People who have tried it tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented but a full stomach does the business quite as well and is cheaper and more easily obtained.

One's mind has a way of making itself up in the background and it suddenly becomes clear what one means to do.

The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.

I'm full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm.

As you become more clear about who you really are you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

The ever increasing spiritual damage caused by life within the big city will make this hunger practically uncontrollable when we build here on this the landscape of our homeland we must be clear that we will protect its beauty.

But my most favourite pursuit after my daily exertions at the Foundry was Astronomy. There were frequently clear nights when the glorious objects in the Heavens were seen in most attractive beauty and brilliancy.

I learned the truth at seventeen That love was meant for beauty queens And high school girls with clear skinned smiles Who married young and then retired.

Beauty may be skin deep but ugly goes clear to the bone.

My attitude towards drawing is not necessarily about drawing. It's about making the best kind of image I can make it's about talking as clearly as I can.

Athletic competition clearly defines the unique power of our attitude.
