Learning is always rebellion... Every bit of new truth discovered is revolutionary to what was believed before.

Secretary Powell and I agree on every single issue that has ever been before this administration except for those instances where Colin's still learning.

Irregularity and want of method are only supportable in men of great learning or genius who are often too full to be exact and therefore they choose to throw down their pearls in heaps before the reader rather than be at the pains of stringing them.

Al Qaeda is not the organization now that it was before. It is under stress organizationally. Its leadership spends more time trying to figure out how to keep from getting caught than they do trying to launch operations.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children before they are aware of their own self-importance learn so easily.

My father was a lawyer and to my best knowledge nobody in my family before had interest in science.

Now will I rehearse before you a very ancient Breton Lay. As the tale was told to me so in turn will I tell it over again to the best of my art and knowledge. Hearken now to my story its why and its reason.

For example I spent a lot of time with Reagan both before he ran for governor and when he was running for president. As a print reporter without the cameras I was able to really test the quality of their minds and their knowledge base.

That free will was demonstrated in the placing of temptation before man with the command not to eat of the fruit of the tree which would give him a knowledge of good and evil with the disturbing moral conflict to which that awareness would give rise.

And I pray thee loving Jesus that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.

Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.

Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance therefore not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.

Pat Roberts and I both feel very strongly that when we get to Iran that we can't make the same mistakes. We have to ask the questions the hard questions before not afterwards and get the right intelligence.

Dr. Rice's record on Iraq gives me great concern. In her public statements she clearly overstated and exaggerated the intelligence concerning Iraq before the war in order to support the President's decision to initiate military action against Iraq.

If you imagine someone with 100 percent determination and 100 percent intelligence you can discard a lot of intelligence before they stop succeeding. But if you start discarding determination you very quickly get an ineffectual and perpetual grad student.

Intelligence is playing a more important role in policymaker decisions than I think I've ever seen in my time in Congress or before.

One of the things that I did before I ran for president is I was a professional speaker. Not a motivational speaker - an inspirational speaker. Motivation comes from within. You have to be inspired.

Plant thy foot firmly in the prints which His foot has made before thee.

By going over your day in imagination before you begin it you can begin acting successfully at any moment.
