Indiscriminate firing by police on people is absolute barbarism. Instead of solving their problems the government is trying to suppress the people by force.

The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems and if only we had no government we'd have no problems. I can tell you that contradicts evidence history and common sense.

The problem with leaderless uprisings taking over is that you don't always know what you get at the other end. If you are not careful you could replace a bad government with one much worse!

Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government.

Government does not solve problems it subsidizes them.

The problem is not that people are taxed too little the problem is that government spends too much.

The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.

I have only one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?

You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having but it would not be a good song in my eyes until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song it's just complaining.

One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace good people don't go into government.

The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren't in a very good mood.

Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances or whether you are going to taste it enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.

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.

I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?

In all secrets there is a kind of guilt however beautiful or joyful they may be or for what good end they may be set to serve. Secrecy means evasion and evasion means a problem to the moral mind.

After every storm the sun will smile for every problem there is a solution and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.

I don't really know why I care so much. I just have something inside me that tells me that there is a problem and I have got to do something about it. I think that is what I would call the God in me.

And I've come to the place where I believe that there's no way to solve these problems these issues - there's nothing that we can do that will solve the problems that we have and keep the peace unless we solve it through God unless we solve it in being our highest self. And that's a pretty tall order.

Let's face it God has a big ego problem. Why do we always have to worship him?

In the nineteenth century the problem was that God is dead. In the twentieth century the problem is that man is dead.

I don't have a problem believing in God and Jesus. But in Genesis one has to wonder about these sentences that just go on and end without finishing. The thought is unfinished. Where did Adam go? What is he doing? Hello? There has to be some pages missing.

My passion for gardening may strike some as selfish or merely an act of resignation in the face of overwhelming problems that beset the world. It is neither. I have found that each garden is just what Voltaire proposed in Candide: a microcosm of a just and beautiful society.

I hope that seeing the excitement of solving this problem will make young mathematicians realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in mathematics which are going to be just as challenging in the future.

I honestly don't know but if America continues to refuse to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions I see a bleak future not only for American society but for the world as a whole. This is a global problem that is not going away and the United States is an obstacle to solving it.
