Education is the most powerful tool for everything but certainly to create opportunities for yourself, and I know that not everyone has the privilege of an education like here in America.
You know, the taxing authority of the United States is our most powerful weapon. You know, the reason we separated from England was because the British were using it abusively.
I have made my will; I have been tormented to do it. I have bought repose; I know the powerlessness and inutility of it.
The PoWs went through something so horrible, you don't know who's coming back.
Farmers were always generalists. They had to know science and commerce and all sorts of practical things.
I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me.
If I stop practising, I will be an average singer. There are a lot of singers I know who hardly practise, yet sing well.
I still have an accent. But when I return to Prague, I speak the language yet do not know what they are talking about.
I listen to NPR when I listen to the radio, but I don't listen to the radio that much. You know, I listen to Garrison Keillor, I listen to 'Prairie Home Companion.'

It's definitely the highest rated pre-school show on Cable. It's difficult to mix markets that way in terms of ratings. It's hard to tell, you know, where channel 12, or Public Television, is.
From my experience, politicians are much more uncomfortable being made fun of than they are being preached at and screeched at - you know, and the soapbox routine. They're much more uneasy knowing they're a target of ridicule.
I've always wondered, am I a writer who preaches or a preacher who writes? I don't know. I love them both.
I don't know of any cases where as a result of religious precepts a population have found themselves enjoying less food than they would have if they didn't follow this particular religion.
