Courage is the greatest of all virtues because if you haven't courage you may not have an opportunity to use any of the others.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand the spines of others are often stiffened.

Don't Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings sadness and drama. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life.

Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

I've got two brothers and two sisters so there's five of us and we're all very close which is cool.

I was the only Christian on the cast but that was cool because we all respected each others talent and mostly they respected me a lot even though I was the only Christian.

Come Christmas Eve we usually go to my mom and dad's. Everybody brings one gift and then we play that game when we all steal it from each other. Some are really cool others are useful and some are a bit out there.

Playing well with others is important - not being too flashy just keeping good time and of course coming up with cool beats. A good snare drum kick drum high hat. Just getting good at the hand feet coordination.

We all grew up our grandmothers and mothers had about three channels to watch so we watched those soaps and now a generation has grown up with the Internet and computers and video games.

I have three brothers and they're all into computers. They're all intellects. My mother would pay me a quarter a page to read a book and I couldn't make 50 cents. I just couldn't do it.

It was used for decades to describe talented computer enthusiasts people whose skill at using computers to solve technical problems and puzzles was - and is - respected and admired by others possessing similar technical skills.

The other thing about FEMA my understanding is that it was supposed to move into the Department of Homeland Security... and be what it was but also having a lot of lateral communication with all those others involved in that issue of homeland security.

Yes it must be something that goes very well with my voice let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others and I don't pretend for instance to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality.

By and large the critics and readers gave me an affirmed sense of my identity as a writer. You might know this within yourself but to have it affirmed by others is of utmost importance. Writing is after all a form of communication.

To effectively communicate we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.

Polite and velvety leaders who take care to avoid bruising others are generally not as effective at forcing change.

The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough some of which go and others come.

Under Barack Obama the only 'Change' is that 'Hope' has been hard to find. Now millions of Americans are insecure about their future. But instead of inspiring us by reminding us of what makes us special he divides us against each other. He tells Americans they're worse off because others are better off. That people got rich by making others poor.

Americans have so far put up with inequality because they felt they could change their status. They didn't mind others being rich as long as they had a path to move up as well. The American Dream is all about social mobility in a sense - the idea that anyone can make it.

Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others.

The only difference between me and others is that they think they can change something with cute little poems nice cards or embracing trees and being nice to little lapdogs.

When you blame others you give up your power to change.

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may by change of circumstances become his own.

We are taught you must blame your father your sisters your brothers the school the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
