A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.

Imagination the supreme delight of the immortal and the immature should be limited. In order to enjoy life we should not enjoy it too much.

I failed to fulfill what should have been an interesting role. I couldn't take their formula and bring what I had my humor my ideas and make it my own.

Well the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war is not a disease not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor.

I try to bring it across on my record in my dress in what I do and what I say because to me humor is important. You should have a dose of that and I guess giving it is what I'm here for.

When you meet someone new who instantly gets you your sense of humor and your attitudes and your worldview even if theirs are different - and you get them in return. You both talk and talk and agree and laugh and nod and yes yes of course you should get another round of drinks.

I think God gave us senses of humor and we should use them.

Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.

I remember when humor was gentle pokes. I used to call it 'arm around the shoulder' humor. Now they go for the jugular and they take no prisoners. It's mean mean stuff.

I really subscribe to that old adage that you should never let the audience get ahead of you for a second. So if the film's abrasive and wrongfoots people then y'know that's great. But I hope it involves an audience.

Fighting a war on terrorism is like fighting against crime. We can never hope to eradicate crime so we shouldn't bother fighting it.

Would it be possible that I should not in any degree succeed? I can scarcely think so. Ah delusive hope how much further wilt thou lead me?

Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle on justice.

I hope girls read what I say in interviews - they should just be themselves.

I'm moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn't clear. If people think you're leaving a show after all these years you might be retiring. So I understand where they're coming from but I should have impressed the fact that I hope I'm just moving on right now.

I think it's impossible to judge whether another person should come out. You just hope they will on their own time and their own terms.

I don't want to hope anymore. I don't think we should hope anymore. We hoped enough. Now we have to do. We all have to do now.

There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do and call it Hope.

At a time when unbridled greed malignant aggression and existence of weapons of mass destruction threatens the survival of humanity we should seriously consider any avenue that offers some hope.

If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.

I hate the idea of causes and if I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.

We should not moor a ship with one anchor or our life with one hope.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up to give them the tools at their disposable that make it possible for them to access all the hope all the promise all the opportunity that America offers. And our programs to help them should reflect that.

Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor nor should life rest on a single hope.
