Teach us, O Lord, the disciplines of patience, for to wait is often harder than to work.
To us, the definition of philanthropy is what we spend. A P&L account means expenditure, lines of revenue. There is a surplus; it goes to the balance sheet. A transparent foundation should disclose this.
Let us not be so naive as to think that revolution is just a matter of social or economic discontent.
The spread of communications technologies - social media, TV news channels - aggravates societal divisions and discord. All that online snarling is making us jittery.
Let us consider the critic, therefore, as a discoverer of discoveries.
Kids come out of the chute liking science. They ask, 'How come? Why? What's this?' They pick up stuff to examine it. We might not call that science, but it's discovering the world around us.
Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life.
We have concentrated wealth and capital to such a degree that the vast majority of us don't have the discretionary dollars to make our economy go and grow.
We must not discriminate between things. Where things are concerned there are no class distinctions. We must pick out what is good for us where we can find it.
No one can disgrace us but ourselves.
The pin-up thing took us completely by surprise. I found it hard because I got singled out, and I didn't like it. There was a lot of disillusionment.
We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn't put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well.
Technology is now part of the social fabric; it is what is causing dislocation. It is the cause of fear amongst all of us.
We have to educate our communities about the immigration system and dispel the myths that have been fed to us. Immigration isn't going to go away. A wall isn't going to 'solve' the issue.
The struggle to get weapons is continuous, but the United States will aid us, if it finds Israel displaying a willingness for peace.
In the adversity of our best friends we often find something that does not displease us.
Learning gives us a fuller conviction of the imperfections of our nature; which one would think, might dispose us to modesty.
Writers of historical fiction are not under the same obligation as historians to find evidence for the statements they make. For us it is sufficient if what we say can't be disproved or shown to be false.
Men should be disqualified for public office. Women should run the planet. They're better than us.
There is dissatisfaction in all of us. Some of us take out that dissatisfaction by attempting to ruin whatever you are attempting to do. This is a fact of life.
