Money doesn't mind if we say it's evil it goes from strength to strength. It's a fiction an addiction and a tacit conspiracy.

I want kids to understand that strength doesn't come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you and that comes from Jesus Christ.

I was in uniform for four years and I know that heroism doesn't occur from taking orders but rather from people who through their own willpower and strength are willing to sacrifice their lives for an idea.

It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.

The difference between the more traditional sports clubs and Congress is that Congress doesn't really compete against another team.

Yeah I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent but it does give you more of an edge mentally knowing that you were in the same situation because in sports you always find yourself behind.

One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while.

In most sports your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.

Sports have become increasingly more specialized but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be fun.

There is only one thing more harmful to society than an elected official forgetting the promises he made in order to get elected that's when he doesn't forget them.

One of the things I keep coming back to in my writing is that society doesn't work on this mirror principle you don't have an exact replica on the left of what you have on the right. It just doesn't work that way.

Well first of all tell me is there some society you know of that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? What is greed?

I figured out I guess that the job just makes me happy if it's not number one. So if it all works great. If it doesn't I still go home look at my kids and I have a big smile on my face.

Some people know that they are so adorable looking all they have to do is smile and dress up and they get plenty from that. Then there are some of us who early on see that that doesn't work. So we joke about it.

There is no point to samba if it doesn't make you smile.

Just because a situation is grim doesn't mean you don't have every right to smile.

I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.

Unfortunately a lot of the concepts in the Bible are based on ancient mythology that doesn't fit the findings of science.

Science has yet to isolate the Godiva Chocolate or Prada gene but that doesn't mean your weakness for pricey swag isn't woven into your DNA. According to a new study of identical twins it's less TV ads or Labor Day sales that make you buy the things you do than the tastes and temperaments that are already part of you at birth.

Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.

If Michael Steele doesn't make you sad well then there's radio host Rush Limbaugh no longer content with wanting the President to fail Rush is now calling out Mr. Obama as a girly man.

'The Killing' has a really great combination of qualities: Even though it's very sad and deals with mourning and grief it's still exciting. It's about real people and it doesn't shy from the painful points of life.

The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice.

I'm not sad about any of my life. It's so unconventional. It doesn't look anything like I thought it would.
