A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go but ought to be.

The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification such as sects and cults are founded on but in a momentary stay against confusion.

I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.

The most cogent reason for restricting the interference of government is the great evil of adding unnecessarily to its power.

The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.

The stories that I want to tell especially as a director don't necessarily have a perfect ending because the older you get the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.

Our intentions may be very good but because the intelligence is limited the action may turn out to be a mistake - a mistake but not necessarily a sin for sin comes out of a wrong intention.

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another it's about the Christian ethic it's about kindness.

When times are tough and people are frustrated and angry and hurting and uncertain the politics of constant conflict may be good but what is good politics does not necessarily work in the real world. What works in the real world is cooperation.

The word 'good' has many meanings. For example if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards I should call him a good shot but not necessarily a good man.

Everyone who understands the nature of God rightly necessarily knows that God is to be believed and hoped in that he is to be loved and called upon and to be heard in all things.

My thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.

To me living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present.

I don't think the public is dying to see me necessarily be funny all the time.

I would do it today because the thing that appealed to me was not necessarily the mechanics of the robot but it was his personality and how funny and charming he was.

When I was in high school I used to sit by myself in the cafeteria - not necessarily by choice - but I thought it was funny to talk to people that weren't there.

I think when you do comedy you play by a different set of rules. No one really wants you to be in that good shape. Being in good shape implies a level of vanity that isn't necessarily funny.

I don't really necessarily think I'm a funny guy but I like the opportunity to take on something that I don't feel I'm the best at doing.

I have always that there ought to be some kind of mandatory national service not necessarily in the military but to show everybody that freedom isn't free that everybody has an obligation to the nation as a community.

You have an absolute freedom in Mexican writing today in which you don't necessarily have to deal with the Mexican identity. You know why? Because we have an identity... We know who we are. We know what it means to be a Mexican.

Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom.

My Food Network shows 'Emeril Live' and 'Essence of Emeril ' are not in production right now but I wouldn't say that I'm necessarily leaving Food Network. I have a lot of television still in me. I enjoy teaching people so it's just a matter of time before I do something new.

Many dotcoms recruited people from existing companies who were quite experienced in finance marketing distribution and other disciplines but not necessarily experienced in the Web culture.

I won't touch on risky because that's subjective. People are just afraid of things too much. Afraid of things that don't necessarily merit fear.
