I invite everyone to chose forgiveness rather than division teamwork over personal ambition.

Forgiveness is about empowering yourself rather than empowering your past.

When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.

How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to say about it all.

When I said a few weeks ago that our people would eat cooking oil and olives if necessary I didn't mean that there really would be only oil and olives. What I meant was that our people have the necessary patience to endure the current difficult situation. Palestinians would rather do without certain food items than their national rights.

We're adults. We're the ones who should teach the kids what's good to eat. I don't think the government should ever regulate what we eat at home but we're feeding them in school with tax dollars. Quite frankly if my tax dollars are being spent to feed kids I'd rather feed them better food.

I'm not really into gourmet food I'm the kind of guy who just stops by a place that looks good rather than heading for the restaurant of the moment.

When I come home from a shoot I'd rather reheat food I've made than eat takeout.

In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect.

Fitness will be a major factor in the first race and I think that will play into the hands of drivers who have been racing recently rather than people like me who haven't raced properly for a decade. I'am not one of the favourites to start with.

Guided only by their feeling for symmetry simplicity and generality and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things creative mathematicians now as in the past are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness.

I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.

Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.

My optimism is not based primarily on the successful march of democracy in recent times but rather is based on the experience of having lived in a fear society and studied the mechanics of tyranny that sustain such a society.

We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness while cutting rather than raising taxes by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in.

Fear not that thy life shall come to an end but rather that it shall never have a beginning.

I'd rather be two strokes ahead going into the last day than two strokes behind. Having said that it's probably easier to win coming from behind. There is no fear in chasing. There is fear in being chased.

A company is stronger if it is bound by love rather than by fear.

I don't have any fear of intimacy but rather thrive on it which is rare in a public person.

The public is not to see where power lies how it shapes policy and for what ends. Rather people are to hate and fear one another.

The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness.

I'd rather give my life than be afraid to give it.

We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means we hang on to them and often forget the ends.

What is needed rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance is understanding fear that means watch it learn about it come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear not how to escape from it.
