And I would be the first to admit that probably in a lot of press conferences over the time that I have been in coaching indulging my own sense of humor at press conferences has not been greatly to my benefit.

I don't remember deciding to become a writer. You decide to become a dentist or a postman. For me writing is like being gay. You finally admit that this is who you are you come out and hope that no one runs away.

I must admit maybe I am a piece of history after all.

My generation of bossy confident baby-boom women were something brand new in history. Our energy and assertiveness weren't created by Betty Friedan unknown before her 1963 book or by Gloria Steinem whose political activism as even the Lifetime profile admitted did not begin until 1969.

I admit it: I had fun watching right-wingers go wild as health reform finally became law.

I admit I can't shake the idea that there is virtue in suffering that there is a sort of psychic economy whereby if you embrace success happiness and comfort these things have to be paid for.

We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect. Our government needs the church because only those humble enough to admit they are sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive.

But at any rate the point is that God is what nobody admits to being and everybody really is.

We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee we get nervous about her and admit censorship.

God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections admit our failures and plead to God for clemency.

Fear is the thought of admitted inferiority.

I had one fight in my adult life. I had the famous '89 fight with Nicole which she admits that she initiated the physical part.

I'm not sure why no one wants to admit there's a viable audience out there that believes in God and wants to see a movie with their family. The demand is there. The supply is not.

No one really wants to admit they are lonely and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.

I am shy to admit that I have followed the advice given all those years ago by a wise archbishop to a bewildered young man: that moments of unbelief 'don't matter ' that if you return to a practice of the faith faith will return.

You know my faith is one that admits some doubt.

I gave in and admitted that God was God.

Admitting failure is quite cleansing but never - pleasurable.

Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country he would have escaped.

At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings.

In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors since all men are equal but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors for from the time of Jefferson onward the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards not downwards.

Everything that everyone is afraid of has already happened: The fragility of capitalism which we don't want to admit the loss of the empire of the United States and American exceptionalism. In fact American exceptionalism is that we are exceptionally backward in about fifteen different categories from education to infrastructure.

I will admit like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.
