I think that Americans should gradually begin to adopt positive behavior rather than doing evil. They should not expect an immediate reaction in return for their positive measures. It will take time.

I believe that the profits will come from the quality of your creative products. Since the beginning I've always wanted to develop a self-feeding circle of creative productions: the positive financial returns from one show would be used to develop and create a new show and so on.

When children are very young you read them books that are positive to help them go to sleep. But there comes a moment when they begin to understand the difficulties of the world. They know there are problems and the books they read should reflect that not gloss over them.

One thing that hasn't changed though is that we still have to hear the new ad 2 or 3 times before it begins to affect us even when we're already familiar with the advertiser in question and have a positive opinion of them.

I think what is happening is I think first of all there is confidence in the U.K. economy. We're in a German rather than a Greek position in international financial markets which is very positive and keeps our debt service costs down and we're also beginning to see real evidence of rebalancing.

My incarceration was actually a positive thing from the beginning. I needed a gimmick to get my act going again it gave me material.

The learner always begins by finding fault but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.

We read too much Shakespeare at school and view our parliamentary politics as dynastic drama in which an impatient crown prince frets at his long subordination and begins to scheme for the throne he knows he merits was promised and has earned.

You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.

Politics begin where the masses are not where there are thousands but where there are millions that is where serious politics begin.

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President I'm beginning to believe it.

Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices a rottenness begins in his conduct.

So much of my poetry begins with something that I can describe in visual terms so thinking about distance thinking about how life begins and what might be watching us.

Let my life as Poet begin. I want the life of the Poet. I have labored for over twelve years one thousand pages of prose. Now I want the easiness of poetry. The brevity of the poem.

But at the beginning it was clear to me that concrete poetry was peculiarly suited for using in public settings. This was my idea but of course I never really much got the chance to do it.

Poetry is fascinating. As soon as it begins the poetry has changed the thing into something extra and somehow prose can go over into poetry.

On July 26 1916 I announced to all my friends in America that from now on I resolved to write no more poems in the classical language and to begin my experiments in writing poetry in the so-called vulgar tongue of the people.

I'm conscious of a series of circles working its way through my life. And at this particular moment I have come round to the beginning of my writing cycle. It begins with poetry. There's hardly a day that goes past on which I don't write poetry.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat a sense of wrong a homesickness a lovesickness.

Wars begin in the minds of men and in those minds love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.

You know I said in the U.N. I said to President Abbas 'Look we're in the same city we're in the same building for God's sake the U.N. Let's just sit down and begin to talk peace.'

The journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step. So we must never neglect any work of peace within our reach however small.

If we are to teach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war we shall have to begin with the children.
