He is happy whom circumstances suit his temper; but he Is more excellent who suits his temper to any circumstance.
I think the national team is more like a traveling circus. It's hard to get that translation into the NWSL teams.
During my study of happiness, I noticed something that surprised me: I often learn more from one person's highly idiosyncratic experiences than I do from sources that detail universal principles or cite up-to-date studies.
American business would be run better today if there was more alignment between CEOs' interest and the company. For example, would the financial crisis of 2008 have occurred if the CEO of Lehman and Morgan Stanley and Goldman and Citibank had to take a very small percentage of every mortgage-backed security... or every loan they made?
You probably don't need more weapons than what's required to destroy every city on earth. There's only 2,300 cities. So, the United States, by that criteria, only needs 2,300 nuclear weapons - well, we've got more than 25,000!
The land created me. I'm wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I'm more at home in the vacant lots.
Since the days of Greece and Rome, when the word 'citizen' was a title of honor, we have often seen more emphasis put on the rights of citizenship than on its responsibilities.

I like kind of natural, woodsy earth tones. I like patchouli. I like tobacco. I like sandalwood. I like tree resin. I'm not a huge fan of citrus - I like things that are kind of moodier and... more deeper base notes.
A country is more than an economy. We're a civic society.

Opponents of civil liberties contend the NSA data collection has made our country more safe, but even the most vocal defenders of the program have failed to identify a single thwarted plot.
We've talked more about civil rights after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than we talked about it before 1964.
Civil servants and government functionaries do not write memoirs because they hope to get more government jobs or assignments.
Business, labor and civil society organizations have skills and resources that are vital in helping to build a more robust global community.
I think on civilian casualties they could do more. It's actually something I've discussed with the editors involved. They're aware of it, and I'm hopeful that there will be more reporting on that.
During the civilisation and development process of more than 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has made an indelible contribution to the civilisation and advancement of mankind.
I am much more passionate about cities than I am about nations. The competition between cities is more civilised than between nations. There is an understanding there.
Hollywood is probably the most active centre of film-making in the world, but it's also a very difficult place in which to find your voice... It was also a far more civilised industry in Ireland.
