Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
Socialism is undoubtedly in the throes of a crisis greater than at any time since 1917. The last half of 1989 saw the dramatic collapse of most of the communist party governments of Eastern Europe.
Ronald Reagan was older than I was when he ran for president.
He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish.
It is the province of poetry to be more realistic and present than the artificial narratives of an outer discourse, and not afraid of the truthful difficulty of the average human life.
I, uh, don't think I'm, y'know, so different than your average, y'know, average.
The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.
I look at an ant and I see myself: a native South African, endowed by nature with a strength much greater than my size so I might cope with the weight of a racism that crushes my spirit.
Having trees and a track to run on have become more important to me than living near cool restaurants.
Having a better and more productive life than my monster father has been my most significant accomplishment.
I learned more about myself by being an RN than anything else I've ever done.
We're more sexually repressed than men, having been given a much more strict puritanical code of behavior than men ever have.
I've always been attracted to more than just the way a woman looks and the way she's shaped.
It's estimated that across Africa 100 elephants are killed for their tusks every day. It takes nothing more than simple math to get to what that adds up to in a year, and it's a distressing figure.
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give lustre, and many more people see than weigh.
My children, Michael and Alex, are with our Heavenly Father now, and I know that they will never be hurt again. As a mom, that means more than words could ever say.
Free soloing is almost as old as climbing itself, with roots in the 19th century. Climbers are continuing to push the boundaries. There are certainly better technical climbers than me. But if I have a particular gift, it's a mental one - the ability to keep it together where others might freak out.
My fervent expectation is that sooner rather than later, the United States Senate will more closely reflect the rich diversity of this great country.
There are very few people who have done more than one Christmas album.
Music I heard with you was more than music, and bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you, all is desolate; all that was once so beautiful is dead.
As I have been saying for more than a year now, turning this vital mission over to the Iraqi people as soon as possible should remain a topic of debate for Congress while relying on our military commanders to set up the timetable.

It is easier to exemplify values than teach them.
I didn't mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.

Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.
Woodworking requires a completely different kind of thinking and problem-solving ability than writing. With writing, you take a set of facts and ideas, and you reason your way forward to a story that pulls them together. With woodworking, you start with an end product in mind, and reason your way backward to the raw wood.
Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.

It just doesn't get any more stripped down than going out totally alone and doing songs.
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.
