This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind or whether to act and in acting to live.

Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people to travel and expand my financial capabilities to get ideas and learn about life to create a world apart from basketball.

All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy selfish and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.

All the libel lawyers will tell you there's no libel any more that everyone's given up.

To know ourselves is agreed by all to be the most useful Learning the first Lessons therefore given us ought to be on that Subject.

Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems gastroenterologists for stomach issues and rheumatologists for joint pain. Given that most physicians were trained this way it's no wonder that the average Medicare patient has six doctors and is on five different medications.

If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes no coincidences all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

I think that if Republicans are given the reins of leadership in the House or Senate or both we will have to govern in a way - at least put forward solutions whether or not the president goes along with them or not that deal with these long-term challenges.

I think it is important for people who are given leadership roles to assume that role immediately.

Under the leadership of President Bush and Vice President Cheney the United States has given up the moral high ground that we used to occupy as an international leader.

If we are to negotiate the coming years safely we may need a new kind of leadership. To put it more precisely we need the rediscovery of an ancient kind of leadership that has rarely been given the prominence it deserves. I mean the leader as teacher.

I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant given the context of any situation.

Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep but to impart the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.

I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.

Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.

So long as these kinds of inequalities persist all of us who are given expensive educations have to live with the knowledge that our victories are contaminated because the game has been rigged to our advantage.

And I pray thee loving Jesus that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.

This life that has been given to us as a gift as such a precious gift. To really try to understand it really try to recognize it is the greatest meditation. Through the media of this Knowledge we can tap into our inner sources that are so beautiful.

I feel audiences are not given enough credit for their intelligence.
