We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference unmixed with considerations of a different order.

Back in 2004 Kellie Overbey handed me her play 'Girl Talk' to read. I fell in love with her brutally delicious humor and the fearlessly deft way in which she drew her characters. They jumped off the page and begged me to give them a space in which to stomp around.

You may not like the idea of putting money into a home when you're moving out. But it's demanded by the market. You need to show it off. You don't have to rip out the kitchen and bathroom. But maybe replace the tiles or the countertops. Get professional advice.

Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home goes to an all-white school and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.

I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded perhaps too much and too often. As for money I have only realized its true worth when I didn't have it.

Every possession and every happiness is but lent by chance for an uncertain time and may therefore be demanded back the next hour.

We cannot improve on the system of government handed down to us by the founders of the Republic. There is no way to improve upon that. But what we can do is to find new ways to implement that system and realize our destiny.

O that unbelievers would learn of faithful Abraham and believe whatever is revealed from God though they cannot fully comprehend it! Abraham knew God commanded him to offer up his son and therefore believed notwithstanding carnal reasoning might suggest may objections.

I wished to God the doctor had handed me a pamphlet that said 'Hey sorry about the autism but here's a step-by-step list on what to do next.' But doctors don't do that. They say 'sorry' and move you along.

I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for protected and handed on for them to do the same.

On the Day of Atonement Jews are commanded to seek forgiveness from the people we have hurt.

I fear my enthusiasm flags when real work is demanded of me.

I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

Why has it seemed that the only way to protect the environment is with heavy-handed government regulation?

For-profit higher education is today a booming industry feeding on the student loans handed out to the desperate.

Abraham Lincoln comes from nothing has no education no money lives in the middle of nowhere on the frontier.

Dreams have always expanded our understanding of reality by challenging our boundaries of the real of the possible.

I'm left handed but my dad taught me to play guitar right-handed.

Now that I'm a dad I'm practicing what I call 'one- handed cooking ' because I've got something more important in my other arm. I'm whipping up lots of frittatas and omelets.

Meyer and I have a bit in common because we're both left-handed. I think it's great that he seeks out that advice because he's not too cool or too uncomfortable to ask for it.

Because I believe that humans are computers I conjectured that computers like people can have left- and right-handed versions.
