The extent of our progress in the cultivation of knowledge is unlimited.
If we were left to ourselves, unfettered by legislative enactments, we should gradually withdraw our capital from the cultivation of such lands, and import the produce which is at present raised upon them.
We are increasingly recognising and accepting, respecting and celebrating, our cultural diversity.
Our cultural diversity has most certainly shaped our national character.
In the West, we have been withdrawing from our tradition-, religion-, and even nation-centred cultures.
The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.
Custom is our nature. What are our natural principles but principles of custom?
Our business is about technology, yes. But it's also about operations and customer relationships.
For the most part, we inherit our opinions. We are the heirs of habits and mental customs.
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
We should all do what we can in our daily lives to remember that we are glorious and powerful.
As individual people, embedded in our daily lives, of course we're interested in what makes one person different from another. We've got to hire one person and not another, marry one person and not another.
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.
I would just say there is one misperception of our veterans, and that is they are somehow damaged goods. I don't buy it.
Dams have harmed our wildlife and made rivers less useful for recreation.
The Pacific Northwest depends on inexpensive renewable energy from our dams.
We all face crossroads in our lives where we can retreat into ourselves, or we can hit the dance floor.
A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.
Dante can be understood only within the context of Italian thought, and Faust would be unthinkable if divorced from its German background; but both are part of our common cultural heritage.
These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.
