Our success educationally industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa.

Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die and not a final weakness.

We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.

America is moving forward and gaining strength. We have been tested and we have proven ourselves to be a tough resilient and resourceful nation.

We set ourselves limits but we are all strong enough to aim higher to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.

I suppose that is my central obsession. What we owe to society what we owe to ourselves.

We should like to have some towering geniuses to reveal us to ourselves in colour and fire but of course they would have to fit into the pattern of our society and be able to take orders from sound administrative types.

The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves.

How many of you have broken no laws this month? That's the kind of society I want to build. I want a guarantee - with physics and mathematics not with laws - that we can give ourselves real privacy of personal communications.

The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are this is where we came from and this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years - the last 50 years really - has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering.

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

The human race's prospects of survival were considerably better when we were defenceless against tigers than they are today when we have become defenceless against ourselves.

We tried to set up a company that patterned ourselves after Southwest in all the fun the spirit the great people the smile the efficiency side of it but we've added some extras that people aren't used to finding on Southwest.

With science fiction I think we are preparing ourselves for contact with them whoever they may be.

I sort of feel that climate change will be solved by science. I just feel instinctively that we will find a way of saving ourselves. But I am less confident that we won't destroy ourselves in other ways.

We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners.

I think that if the novel's task is to describe where we find ourselves and how we live now the novelist must take a good hard look at the most central facts of contemporary life - technology and science.

We're looking at Earth science observing our planet. Also space science looking at the ozone in the atmosphere around our Earth. Also looking at life science. And on a human level using ourselves as test subjects.

We've made science experiments of ourselves and our children.

When I investigate and when I discover that the forces of the heavens and the planets are within ourselves then truly I seem to be living among the gods.

I remember a time when all my fans were crying and sad and going through hell. Now we're trying to uplift each other and accept ourselves for who we are even if nobody else does.

Among the many reasons assignable for the sad decay of true Christianity perhaps the neglecting to assemble ourselves together in religious societies may not be one of the least.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women and part of that involves how we present ourselves.
