Property is intended to serve life and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.
Life itself is the proper binge.
When the Senate ceases to engage nominees in meaningful discussion of legal issues the confirmation process takes on an air of vacuity and farce and the Senate becomes incapable of either properly evaluating nominees or appropriately educating the public.
Though every legal task demands this skill it is especially important in the effort to frame public policy in a way that is properly responsive to human needs and predicaments. The question is always: How will the general rule work in practice?
I do have two data identities. I have my name Bruce Sterling which is my public name under which I write novels. I also have my other name which is my legal name under which I own property and vote.
Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source and so on.
Someone taught me how to eat properly. Learning from others is important when it's not working for yourself.
Learning is the ally not the adversary of genius... he who reads in a proper spirit can scarcely read too much.
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.
The United States is the most innovative country in the world. But our leadership could slip away if we fail to properly fund primary secondary and higher education.
In the present state of our knowledge it would be useless to attempt to speculate on the remote cause of the electrical energy... its relation to chemical affinity is however sufficiently evident. May it not be identical with it and an essential property of matter?
The properties which differentiate living matter from any kind of inorganic imitation may be instinctively felt but can hardly be formulated without expert knowledge.
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession - a property entirely our own.
Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
It is remarkable that jealousy of individual property in land often goes along with very exaggerated doctrines of tribal or national property in land.
With the world as it now presents itself there is something perverse and probably dysfunctional about a person who stays in the same house for 40 years. What about the expanding family syndrome the school-lottery migration the property portfolio neurosis? Have you no imagination?
The English language is nobody's special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.
Robert Walker as Bruno was excellent. He had elegance and humor and the proper fondness for his mother.
I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of. In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I'd never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio-cassette player.
Man is properly speaking based upon hope he has no other possession but hope this world of his is emphatically the place of hope.
Proper school nutrition must be complemented by activities outside of the cafeteria. The decisions parents make to keep their kids healthy are critical in fighting this battle on the home front.
Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.
I should like to know what is the proper function of women if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out.
The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours kindle it at home communicate it to others and it becomes the property of all.
