I used to think that if I had success I would have freedom. But I have less freedom now than I've ever had. And what gives me satisfaction is not the jewelry and not the cars. What gives me satisfaction is doing things for others like children.

If freedom's best friends cannot unify around a realistic actionable program of fundamental change one that attracts and persuades a broad majority of our fellow citizens big change will not come.

I remain optimistic. What we've seen in Europe and the rest of the world is that freedom has a much stronger attraction than radical fundamentalism.

Our forefathers got it they got it man. They took godly principles and they put them into action and they developed our Constitution - the land of freedom where each man is accountable and responsible for his actions.

The general interest of the masses might take the place of the insight of genius if it were allowed freedom of action.

Freedom of expression - in particular freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.

We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice.

True freedom is where an individual's thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true correct and of honor - no matter the personal price.

Freedom of speech freedom of the press and freedom of religion all have a double aspect - freedom of thought and freedom of action.

There are two good things in life - freedom of thought and freedom of action.

Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain which is the positive element of life.

Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible but to give the patient's ego freedom to decide one way or another.

Religious liberty is the first freedom in our Constitution. And whether the cause is justice for the persecuted compassion for the needy and the sick or mercy for the child waiting to be born there is no greater force for good in the nation than Christian conscience in action.

Forgiveness isn't about condoning what has happened to you or someone else's actions against you.

I ask the people of Connecticut for their forgiveness I should have paid more attention to people around me and people that I trusted but I am sorry for my actions and take full responsibility.

Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.

The simpler the food the harder it is to prepare it well. You want to truly taste what it is you're eating. So that goes back to the trend of fine ingredients. It's very Japanese: Preparing good ingredients very simply without distractions from the flavor of the ingredient itself.

Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement!

Never eat while doing something else because you won't get the satisfaction from your food and you'll be more likely to overeat.

The American public is not aware that there might be potential allergenic and toxic reactions. With regular food at least people know which foods they have an allergy to.

If I don't feel confident about my body I'm not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up motivating yourself and just doing it.

I approach my character with the question: What would an animal think? How would an animal respond? A lot of times it's quick action and no fear and sometimes it's irrational fear. You don't always know.

I had a fear of becoming anything a fear of becoming a specialist. I might have become a doctor but if you become a doctor that's your specialty in life and you are defined by it. One of the attractions of being a writer is that you're never a specialist. Your field is entirely open your field is the entire human condition.

When we were scared about 9/11 we federalized the airport security we spent millions for body armor for dogs in Ohio. All that over-reaction comes from fear and government - bad combination.
