I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

We support every effort to combat international terrorism through the formulation of international conventions and hope that the international community will take further steps to improve the anti-terrorism international legal framework.

I was myself brought up with my brother whose name was Matthias for he was my own brother by both father and mother and I made mighty proficiency in the improvements of my learning and appeared to have both a great memory and understanding.

Students who are interested in learning about the environment should not be dissuaded from doing so but only if they have proved their proficiency in other basic courses such as U.S. history. Until then we need to focus on producing well-educated citizens steeped in their country's history and mindful of their civic responsibilities.

My number one goal was not getting 'A's' - and I proved it. I was a 'C' student. You have to be ready to learn. If you're not interesting in learning it doesn't work. As I grew older and wanted to learn and desperately wanted inside information learning was a lot easier.

The experience of learning how to get straight to the core of a problem proved to be of immense value later when I had a long succession of responsibilities in large complex government departments.

Since its founding in 1854 Penn State has proven to be a leading institution of higher learning.

We need someone with proven conservative leadership experience not entitlement to be able to represent us and lead us.

I have spent a lifetime watching kids make mistakes because they were not trained or well led or properly motivated to do well. I never faulted the kids rather I saw opportunity to train to motivate to improve leadership - not to punish the individual.

It takes leadership to improve safety. And I started off the movement in my time but the person who has done more over the past 20 to 30 years and who has led it is Professor Sid Watkins.

The 9/11 Commission recently released their report citing important changes which need to be made to improve our nation's homeland security. I voiced my disappointment with the House leadership when this report was left until after the August recess for action.

The person who takes the oath of office in the next four months will shape not just the next four years but the next forty years of our nation. In these next four years we need proven leadership proven judgment and proven values. America needs four more years of President Barack Obama.

Honor bespeaks worth. Confidence begets trust. Service brings satisfaction. Cooperation proves the quality of leadership.

Einstein's results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is or can be proven knowledge.

The library is seen as a force for self improvement and the pursuit of knowledge. I fear that in many cases this is no longer true if it ever was.

All around me insisted that my doubts proved only my own ignorance and sinfulness that they knew by experience they would soon give place to true knowledge and an advance in religion and I felt something like indecision.

A great many things which in times of lesser knowledge we imagined to be superstitious or useless prove today on examination to have been of immense value to mankind.

It is becoming clear that the old platitudes can no longer be maintained and that if we wish to improve our morals we must first improve our knowledge.

The improvement of understanding is for two ends: first our own increase of knowledge secondly to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others.

Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are where they need to improve and where they lack knowledge or information.

There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.

Knowledge has to be improved challenged and increased constantly or it vanishes.

I want to improve TSA's counterterrorism focus through intelligence and cutting edge technology support the TSA workforce and strengthen the agency's relationships with stakeholders and the traveling public. All of these priorities are interconnected and are vital to TSA's mission - and I would say all of our collective mission.

Intelligence is our first line of defense against terrorism and we must improve the collection capabilities and analysis of intelligence to protect the security of the United States and its allies.
