Rosa Parks was a woman of strength conviction and morality. Her action on December 1 1955 to defy the law made her a leading figure in our nation's civil rights history.
I understand why creative people like dark but American audiences don't like dark. They like story. They do not respond to nervous breakdowns and unhappy episodes that lead nowhere. They like their characters to be a part of the action. They like strength not weakness a chance to work out any dilemma.
When I write down my thoughts they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.
The undertaking of a new action brings new strength.
Only actions give life strength only moderation gives it charm.
It is a sign of contraction of the mind when it is content or of weariness. A spirited mind never stops within itself it is always aspiring and going beyond its strength.
Our real problem then is not our strength today it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.
He is greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
The most important thing you learn as a sports photographer is anticipation - not where the action is taking place but where it's going to take place. Not where the subject is now but where they're going to be.
I am so grateful to everybody that supports the Sheckler Foundation and gives us the ability to continue to help kids and injured action sports athletes.
I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.
There's steps that I've taken already and each week talking with the sports psychologist on a routine basis and working with the different programs that we're going through. This is all stuff that you can say you're going to make a difference but I'm putting it into action.
For truly it is to be noted that children's plays are not sports and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
I liked the energy of cooking the action the camaraderie. I often compare the kitchen to sports and compare the chef to a coach. There are a lot of similarities to it.
There was endless action - not just football but sailboats tennis and other things: movement. There was endless talk - the ambassador at the head of the table laying out the prevailing wisdom but everyone else weighing in with their opinions and taking part.
Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.
And nothing embittered me which is important because I think ethnic people and women in this society can end up being embittered because of the lack of affirmative action you know.
Affirmative action has a negative effect on our society when it means counting us like so many beans and dividing us into separate piles.
American society is a sort of flat fresh-water pond which absorbs silently without reaction anything which is thrown into it.
The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction.
Through their own actions customers can hold companies responsible to higher standards of social responsibility. Through collective action they can leverage their dollars to combat the force of those investors who myopically pursue profits at the expense of the rest of society.
The individual is not accountable to society for his actions in so far as these concern the interests of no person but himself.
One of the marks of a truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action - the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
Nothing seems at first sight less important than the outward form of human actions yet there is nothing upon which men set more store: they grow used to everything except to living in a society which has not their own manners.
