Americans try to talk about positive family values although the actual state of things is disastrous.

But in fact if you look at film as a metaphor only through the negative can you have the positive print. What I'm trying to get to is the positive value of negation.

If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration we would be in a far more positive position. It may get a little dire before we pull together but I think when the prosperous nations and in particular the U.S. realize they're wrecking their own kids' lives there will be a mass change in value.

Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.

I think he was absolutely right not to go to UN last week... First things first - that is values and people here in their local communities and remembering all politics is local and trusting people more.

Good politics starts with empathy proceeds to analysis then sets out values and establishes the vision before getting to the nitty-gritty of policy solutions.

In politics the people I most despise are those who have no values.

Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.

Poetry asks people to have values form opinions care about some other part of experience besides making money and being successful on the job.

In rap music even though the element of poetry is very strong so is the element of the drum the implication of the dance. Without the beat its commercial value would certainly be more tenuous.

If it is an imperfect word no external circumstance can heighten its value as poetry.

Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.

PC stuff just lowers the general acceptance of good work and replaces it with bogus poetry that celebrates values that in themselves are probably quite worthy.

Our armed forces will fight for peace in Iraq a peace built on more secure foundations than are found today in the Middle East. Even more important they will fight for two human conditions of even greater value than peace: liberty and justice.

Not just Christians and Jews but also Muslims Buddhists Hindus and the followers of many other religions believe in values like peace respect tolerance and dignity. These are values that bring people together and enable us to build responsible and solid communities.

I value peace when it is not bought at the price of fundamental decencies.

The values the programs the formula the determination and the patriotism responsible for America's past success are still here to be tapped.

There is no patriotic obligation to help advance the career of a politician who is otherwise pursuing interests that are fundamentally antithetical to your values. That's not the call of patriotism.

People ask me a lot about the values I got from playing for the Cubs for so many years. The value I got out of it was patience. A lot of people these days are not very patient.

Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.

If the technical innovations of the Impressionists led merely to a more accurate representation of nature it was perhaps of not much value in enlarging their powers of expression.

Ain't nobody making music to not be heard and the easiest way to be heard is to be on the radio but you should never compromise who you are your values or your morals.

In these confused times the role of classical music is at the very core of the struggle to reassert cultural and ethical values that have always characterized our country and for which we have traditionally been honored and respected outside our shores.
