You can tell the strength of a nation by the women behind its men.

I worked with John but I had enough sense to walk just a little ways behind him. I could have made more records but I wanted to have a marriage.

There's already a marriage clock a career clock a biological clock. Sometimes being a woman feels like standing in the lobby of a hotel looking at the dials depicting every time zone in the world behind the front desk - except they all apply to you and all at once.

It is not likely that posterity will fall in love with us but not impossible that it may respect or sympathize so a man would rather leave behind him the portrait of his spirit than a portrait of his face.

Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants and giraffes and crocodiles and every kind of tigers and lions. And - and we have bus loads of kids who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children and enjoy it.

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.

You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought 'I release the need for this in my life'.

Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is with a new game every day and that's the way baseball is.

You need to find somebody who will speak the same language. We understand that we couldn't have any kind of discussion without permission without a legal framework behind it.

If it doesn't feel like a job and I'm learning something and getting that rush that I get I don't care if it's behind a camera on a TV set or on the moon.

That was the reasoning behind learning to play bass and then after that it was more like it was neat to play songs together - for me to play bass and for him to play guitar.

There are many ways to grow football-wise. You go slow or are pushed to go faster otherwise you get left behind. For me there would be trouble in stopping learning.

No Child Left Behind's fourth-grade gains aren't learning gains they're testing gains. That's why they don't last. The law is a distraction from things that really count.

What happened with Hurricane Katrina was the American electorate was forced to look at what lay behind the veneer of chest-beating. We all saw the consequences of having terrible government leadership.

I believe it is time for new leadership that is able to leave the '70s behind.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

To attempt this would be like seeing without eyes or directing the gaze of knowledge behind one's own eye. Modern science can acknowledge no other than this epistemological stand-point.

Behind the man is the Tree of Life bearing twelve fruits and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is behind the woman the serpent is twining round it.

Don't waste time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead sometimes you're behind.

I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature both animals and plants the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself you don't have to think about it.

The Gorillaz cartoons seem more real to me than the actual people on TV. Because at least you know that there's some intelligence behind the cartoons and there's a lot of work that's gone into it so it can't all be just a lie.

I'm in awe of the universe but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals though even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative whether Buddhist or Catholic.

I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world and bettered the tradition of mankind.
