Civil strife is as much a greater evil than a concerted war effort as war itself is worse than peace.

You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself get more sleep and rest when you know that it was a one hundred percent effort that you gave - win or lose.

Speaking from my experience as a person involved for a long time in building the European Union it is important to have patience and efforts to build a community of nations.

How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort a little more patience would have achieved success.

An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.

Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature. Everything is organic and living and therefore the whole world appears to be a living organism.

Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.

Music is the effort we make to explain to ourselves how our brains work. We listen to Bach transfixed because this is listening to a human mind.

I can tell you one thing Iran is closer to developing nuclear weapons today than it was a week ago or a month ago or a year ago. It's just moving on with its efforts.

You have to read scripts and audition and develop relationships. It takes a long time to develop a body of work but over the last 25 years I guess I've done that many movies. In hindsight it may seem effortless but there's a lot of work that goes into it.

There is both a skill factor and an effort factor in dream recall. People can develop dream recall skills such as lying still in the morning and writing down whatever comes to mind.

For us political activists and candidates the morning after any election is a mix of emotions - the personal and the immediate the culmination of your own recent campaigning efforts and the fortunes of your party and the success or otherwise of what you stand for and believe in.

When I wake up at 5 in the morning is it just to jog? Definitely not I give it all of my efforts.

Congress the press and the bureaucracy too often focus on how much money or effort is spent rather than whether the money or effort actually achieves the announced goal.

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

You are your greatest asset. Put your time effort and money into training grooming and encouraging your greatest asset.

My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.

Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.

I hate this fast growing tendency to chain men to machines in big factories and deprive them of all joy in their efforts - the plan will lead to cheap men and cheap products.

Fires can't be made with dead embers nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.

Mothers - especially single mothers - are heroic in their efforts to raise our nation's children but men must also take responsibility for their children and recognize the impact they have on their families' well-being.

C-17s should be ready to go at various military bases around the world packed with water food medical supplies sleeping bags and tents all prepared to be air dropped in alongside soldiers and doctors to begin relief efforts.

Marriage is a team effort. Both of us share that philosophy.

But marriage goes in waves. You've got to be patient. People bail and give up on their marriages way too early. They just don't put the work and the effort into it. You've got to suck up your ego a lot of times because that can be a big downfall.
