We do not yet possess ourselves and we know at the same time that we are much more.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.

People spend too much time finding other people to blame too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being and not enough energy putting themselves on the line growing out of the past and getting on with their lives.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time somewhere someone said to themselves You know I want to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.

All I ever wanted really and continue to want out of life is to give 100 percent to whatever I'm doing and to be committed to whatever I'm doing and then let the results speak for themselves. Also to never take myself or people for granted and always be thankful and grateful to the people who helped me.

Teenagers today are more free to be themselves and to accept themselves.

Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.

Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world who are probably not so sure themselves.

But I don't think we'll go there until we go back to the moon and develop a technology base for living and working and transporting ourselves through space.

I think that's the phenomenon of our time is that a lot of women keep themselves in good shape but that there's not a lot of accommodation or people out there to connect with and the technology.

We've complemented that with a second office to think about how we need to prepare ourselves for that period 10 or 15 or 20 years from now by way of investment in our technology our organization and our people.

You know technology CEOs like to think of themselves as rock 'n roll stars.

Technology may create a condition but the questions are what do we do about ourselves. We better understand ourselves pretty clearly and we better find ways to like ourselves.

I support any procedure that allows photographers to express themselves whether that involves color black and white platinum palladium and digital technology.

If we invest in researching and developing energy technology we'll do some real good in the long run rather than just making ourselves feel good today. But climate change is not the only challenge of the 21st century and for many other global problems we have low-cost durable solutions.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age my generation find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium - that is of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves or by any new technology.

My acting teacher used to say that people reveal themselves in their opposites.

It is by teaching that we teach ourselves by relating that we observe by affirming that we examine by showing that we look by writing that we think by pumping that we draw water into the well.

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent a teacher an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.

I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves.

They weren't impatient for the boys to turn into cartoons again. They awarded sympathy gave compassion. Because deep down they had found parts of themselves in the characters. You said it George.

Badges mean nothing in themselves but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout's arm if that girl has won the same badge it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.
