You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?
When you go to cable, there are no stations and no affiliates and they allow you to do your show.
Well, your premise is correct, that we have to first guard against those who have an affiliation with terrorists and a connection, and so we have watch lists and systems that can make that connection.
Practice rather than preach. Make of your life an affirmation, defined by your ideals, not the negation of others. Dare to the level of your capability then go beyond to a higher level.

The physics of it, the marks, the lights, etc. What's hard to do is to suspend your own feelings of self consciousness. The natural actors can do that; they can become part of a characterization and learn how to maintain it.
The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.

One of the worst things about ageing is the waning of your physical powers. I live in a house with 64 stairs, and I cannot run up and down them any more; my knee has conked out.
