When you're passionate about something you want it to be all it can be. But in the endgame of life I fundamentally believe the key to happiness is letting go of that idea of perfection.

It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing or in disbelieving it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.

The right to happiness is fundamental.

Mental health needs a great deal of attention. It's the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with.

Our bodies are shaped to bear children and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.

I have a great respect for incremental improvement and I've done that sort of thing in my life but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

You can't fall back on the private sector and say 'You take care of the nation's banking system.' That's a fundamental function of the government the Federal Reserve the Treasury and the FDIC etc. All of those agencies have a major role to play there.

There are good people and bad people in all organizations fundamentally however when you look at the basis of the Tea Party it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with an economic recovery. It has to do with limiting the role of our government in our lives. It has to do with free markets.

There's something fundamentally wrong with a system where there's been 17 years of a Tory Government and the people of Scotland have voted Socialist for 17 years. That hardly seems democratic.

There is a Western world. There is America. There is Great Britain and Germany and France and Russia and China and other nations. I doubt that there is one country amongst those I mentioned which has a desire to see Iran with its fundamentalist Islamic extremist government possessing nuclear weapons.

I think that if we get back to some basic fundamental principles we can make sure that we resolve the issues. And I think that that's what the Tea Party was all about. It's getting back to a constitutional conservative government. And that is limited but it's also effective and efficient. I think that that's what we'll be able to do.

The bringing-about of order is the first and fundamental task of government. We accept limits on our rights for the sake of a larger social compact all the time.

Concerns about the size and role of government are what seem to leave reformers stammering and speechless in town-hall meetings. The right wants to have a debate over fundamental principles elected Democrats seem incapable of giving it to them.

The fundamental purpose of government is to protect its citizens.

There is something fundamentally unfair about a government that takes away so much of people's money power and personal control while telling them that life will be better as a result.

In the inner city there's a mentality that the government owes you something. My breakthrough came when I stopped feeling sorry for myself and took responsibility for every part of my life. No more pity parties. I've gotta love me more than anybody else loves me.

Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power not the increase of it.

If human beings are fundamentally good no government is necessary if they are fundamentally bad any government being composed of human beings would be bad also.

I've always wanted to improve on the idea of living well In moderation wine is good for you - mentally physically and spiritually.

Always do good to others. Be selfless. Mentally remove everything and be free. This is divine life. This is the direct way to Moksha or salvation.

It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

You cannot do anything without God.It's a profound and elemental truth. Not you cannot do most things without God. You will not be able to do anything that you want truly in fulfillment without God.

In my country of South Africa we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings children of the same God by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.
