Young children were sooner allured by love than driven by beating to attain good learning.

The desire to live in our imagination is driven by this suspicion that we're disembodied sensibilities cobbled into our bodies. That idea has infused most of human thought since the very beginning.

I love a man with a great sense of humor and who is intelligent - a man who has a great smile. He has to make me laugh. I like a man who is very ambitious and driven and who has a good heart and makes me feel safe. I like a man who is very strong and independent and confident - that is very sexy - but at the same time he's very kind to people.

Don't kid yourself. President Obama's decision to withdraw 33 000 troops from Afghanistan before he stands for reelection is not driven by the United States' 'position of strength' in the war zone as much as it is by grim economic and political realities at home.

Because of my parents' love of democracy we came to America after being driven twice from our home in Czechoslovakia - first by Hitler and then by Stalin.

We therefore here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy and we like them will not rest until this evil is driven from our world.

The American economy has always been driven by the entrepreneurial nature of its citizens and blocking access to affordable health care will only suffocate growth within the small business sector of our economy.

I'm not driven to get back into politics. It's not on my top five things to do before I die but saying that I may be in politics in the next year or the next ten years. I've been on the front line for 12 years four in state government eight on the national level.

I would cap the amount of federal government can spend at 20 percent of the economy. Bring it back to 20 percent or lower. And say we are not going to spend above that level. Democrats they want to raise your taxes and spend more and more and turn us into an economy which is no longer driven by the private sector.

It's opportunity. It's opportunity not a check from government - it's opportunity that has always driven America and defined us as Americans.

The right way to reign in healthcare costs is not by applying more government and more controls and making it more like the post office it's by making it more like a consumer-driven market.

I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.

I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It's really funny the way that some people don't give kids enough credit for like really being driven and really wanting to do things so badly.

For years it's driven me crazy that women don't have better roles especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt... misogynist streak is too strong a term - but a dismissiveness.

We are driven by five genetic needs: survival love and belonging power freedom and fun.

The confidence is really driven by the woman - whether she can have the confidence that there will be enough earning or income to finance all the domestic spending - but also by the middle-income class which for many Asian countries has become the growth power for the economy.

When I'm acting I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera making sure I hit my marks and there is the one driven by this inner fire this delicious fear.

I think every chef not just in America but across the world has a double-edged sword - two jackets one that's driven a self-confessed perfectionist thoroughbred hate incompetence and switch off the stove take off the jacket and become a family man.

Don't be confused that my interest in religion faith and spirituality is driven by any sense of faith or spirituality of my own.

'The Purpose-Driven Life' is not just a mega-bestselling work of Christian faith it is the thing that every voter secular or not yearns for.

Men and women of every faith and good people with none at all sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life.

In my books I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it it's at the extreme end of their experience.

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design more visually driven.
