There is a lot of stuff we can't control, but it is completely in our power to decide what the definition of what a good job is. That's up to us.
To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us; we are its victim, and we have no control over it.
The United States needs to be not so much loved as it needs to be respected. Sometimes, that requires us to take actions that generate controversy. I'm not at all sure that that's what the Obama administration believes.
It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient, let us believe there are.
As connected as we are with technology, it's also removed us from having to have human connection, made it more convenient to not be intimate.
The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking.

Let's cooperate and challenge the administration to cooperate with us because within the administration there are also moderates and people who are not fully comfortable with the tendencies that have prevailed in recent times.
We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.
A lot of times when people get copied, they get copied and washed out. But you can't even duplicate how we do it because it's just so genuine. It's just us.

Federal policy tells us to fill 50 percent of our plates with fruits and vegetables. At the same time, federal farm subsidies focus on financing the production of corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, sorghum, dairy and livestock.
The U.S. Constitution protects our privacy from the prying eyes of government. It does not, however, protect us from the prying eyes of companies and corporations.
All of us profit from being corrected - if we're corrected in a positive way.
Until we stem the housing correction, until the biggest part of that is behind us and we have more stability in housing prices, we're going to continue to have turmoil in the financial markets.
At that time, about July 5, we had no Iraqi corrections officers working for us. It was a responsibility of the CPA, with contractors, to set up a training program.
We had a couple of minor coups that made a big difference. We snared away from a competitor a correspondent already on the ground in Afghanistan. That was an enormous help to us, because there we were.
We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.
Corporate tax dodging impacts us across generations and over time. It is corrosive. It is unethical. It is unsustainable.
Too much liberty corrupts us all.
