Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing baseball fishing - there is no greater example than golf because you're playing against yourself and nature.

But we don't have an example of a democratic society existing in a socialist economy - which is the only real alternative to capitalism in the modern world.

Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation for want of a better word of mundane things.

Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.

The world is full of strange phenomena that cannot be explained by the laws of logic or science. Dennis Rodman is only one example.

I think the crux of the matter was that if we were going to become partners in for example the International Space Station we had to gain the respect of a country like the United States and particularly its space organization NASA.

To win the cause we all believe in the spread of true democracy all over the world we need to win by example not just with speeches but by example not just with military might but by gaining the respect of the world.

Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort the educational value of a good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.

This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.

There are many respects in which America if it can bring itself to act with the magnanimity and the empathy appropriate to its size and power can be an intelligent example to the world.

A lot of victims for example have become addicted to alcohol and drugs. It seems to me that the church's healing ministry is going to be enhanced through this in much broader strokes. That's good it's all positive.

I want to make sure that no matter how long I go through this I don't fall into the trap of changing and modifying how I do things that aren't a positive example. I want to remain somebody that the entire family can listen to or watch.

But you see our society is still trapped in this binary black/white logic and that has had some very positive implications for our generation. It's had some very negative ones as well and one of the negative ones is that it creates enormous identity problems for people who have one black ancestor and all white ancestors for example.

Look at people for an example but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

Radical changes in world politics leave America with a heightened responsibility to be for the world an example of a genuinely free democratic just and humane society.

There's one of my new poems actually - is a good example of where my poetry has ended up. My earlier river poetry was more like a cross between Shelley and Dylan Thomas.

People who read poetry for example like the feel the heft and the smell of a book.

There are things that I invented - the creaky geriatric robot that is always grumpy for example or the little wheelie guy he's not in the Hasbro lore. But kids love that stuff - this little guy as a pet on a chain. They gravitate towards it.

Sinn Fein has productively taken the example of South Africa and as we develop the peace process we continue to use examples from South Africa.

Unfortunately our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.

You have to find the peace and patience within yourself to be a model and an example to others and not judge.

We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching.

The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.

I'm obsessed with the countryside: woods forests fields lakes mountains. I'm really into folk music and folklore. But more so I'm into electronic music. I'm into bands that have both aspects like Boards of Canada is a perfect example. You could listen to that type of music running through a woods. It's kind of what I wanted to achieve.
