That a man be willing when others are so too as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary to lay down this right to all things and be contented with so much liberty against other men as he would allow other men against himself.

Were there peace and justice in the Middle East the Arabs would no more need their tinhorn dictators than they would their corpulent princes.

I challenge anybody to say that I wouldn't know how to approach foreign policy because unlike some of the other people I at least have a foreign policy philosophy which is an extension of the Reagan philosophy. Peace through strength and my philosophy is peace through strength and clarity.

As this long and difficult war ends I would like to address a few special words to the American people: Your steadfastness in supporting our insistence on peace with honor has made peace with honor possible.

I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin with a big open fire a record player and peace.

I would rather have peace in the world than be President.

Avoid popularity if you would have peace.

He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.

I think the reaction to a World War II situation would be the same today as it was in 1942. Initially people would question but once patriotism got stirred up the whole thing would gather momentum and we'd all pull together.

Anyhow a philosophical turn of thought now was not amiss else one's patience would have given out almost at the harbour entrance. The term of her probation was eight days.

Your patience would fail you if I should continue to relate all the disrespectful speeches and treatment which your servants have been obliged to listen to and patiently to bear.

I have a huge respect for writers and realise that this is not an area that I find easy. I doubt that I would have the patience in front of a blank sheet of paper to become a writer.

If I could have one prayer answered I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.

The days of our lives for all of us are numbered. We know that. And yes there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.

If you would know strength and patience welcome the company of trees.

How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort a little more patience would have achieved success.

For decades parents were told by so-called parenting 'experts' that offspring would be best raised on the belief each is special and entitled to all life has to offer.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them that would be poor parenting on my part.

I thought that once we were out of the baby stage parenting would be a breeze.

I would like to do another piece of fiction dealing with a number of issues: Lesbian parenting the 1960's and interracial relationships in the Lesbian and Gay community.

I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.

Most of us really aren't horribly unique. There are 6 billion of us. Put 'em all in one room and very few would stand out as individuals. So maybe we ought to think of worth in terms of our ability to get along as a part of nature rather than being the lords over nature.

Is human nature basically good or evil? No economist can embark upon his profession without considering this question and yet they all seem to. And they all seem to think human nature is basically good or they wouldn't be surprised by the effects of deregulation.

We don't do things we aren't good at by nature. I wouldn't play basketball because I'm only 5' 1". Find what you enjoy - whether it's racing, flying a helicopter, being a doctor, or stitching clothes together. Once you've done that, you have the passion you need.
