The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

As a former cop I respect and appreciate those who've dedicated their lives to serving others as well as those who appreciate the rule of law and honor it.

We reserve our deepest respect and admiration for those who volunteer for service and give their lives to help keep our nation secure.

I travel around the world experiencing every language every religion... some places where there's just no reason to smile because their lives are so difficult.

My philosophy is that the most important aspect of any religion should be human kindness. And to try to ease the suffering of others. To try to bring light and love into the lives of mankind.

Religion is doing a man does not merely think his religion or feel it he lives his religion as much as he is able otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.

Religion is doing a man does not merely think his religion or feel it he 'lives' his religion as much as he is able otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.

It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.

We feel unsatisfied until we know ourselves akin even with that greatness which made the spots on which it rested hallowed and until by our own lives and by converse with the thoughts they have bequeathed us we feel that union and relationship of the spirit which we seek.

First and foremost I am a commercial writer and I hope to entertain people. But having said that I'm in love with the relationship between humans and dogs and the more I learned about what our military working dogs are doing I wanted to at least share with people what an important role these animals have in all our lives.

Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person place and event - serves a very special if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.

A lot of songs are empowering because everybody who has been through a hard time in a relationship or in their lives can relate to it.

It is easy for Christians to have the false impression that once we have established a relationship with Christ which we believe sets us right with God the problems of life will somehow scoot away or they will slowly be removed from our lives.

The attacks of September 11 - and subsequent acts of terror from London to Madrid to Fort Hood Texas - embody the most repulsive of human instincts the will to power at the price of the lives of others.

If the Holy Spirit can take over the subconscious with our consent and cooperation then we have almighty Power working at the basis of our lives then we can do anything we ought to do go anywhere we ought to go and be anything we ought to be.

It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence the power you have over other people's lives.

A man who lives right and is right has more power in his silence than another has by his words.

My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music give people something that can change their lives.

It will be about which candidate which of the two candidates remaining is best suited to make a positive difference in the lives of North Carolina families and I submit to each of you tonight that I am that candidate and Elizabeth Dole is not.

The real metric of success isn't the size of your bank account. It's the number of lives in whom you might be able to make a positive difference.

To protect people's lives and keep our children safe we must implement public-works spending and do so proudly. If possible I'd like to see the Bank of Japan purchase all of the construction bonds that we need to issue to cover the cost. That would also forcefully circulate money in the market. That would be positive for the economy too.

I have long been a supporter of the Head Start program because each and every year I witness the dramatic positive impact that early intervention services have on children's lives in my congressional district.

We work hard on the show. We really believe in the show. It's an enormous privilege to work on a show that has the power to touch people's lives in such a positive way. The fan mail and the e-mail certainly reflect that.

And I'm a pretty positive person - I don't put a lot of energy into worrying and I'm not a person who lives in a great deal of fear.
