I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled and thanks to money and fame I didn't have to go far to find them.

One of the evils of money is that it tempts us to look at it rather than at the things that it buys.

I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.

All men are liable to error and most men are in many points by passion or interest under temptation to it.

Many men are contemptuous of riches few can give them away.

When I look upon seamen men of science and philosophers man is the wisest of all beings when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man.

When men attempt bold gestures generally it's considered romantic. When women do it it's often considered desperate or psycho.

All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down provided it is the right temptation put in the right spot.

The bill would ban human cloning and any attempts at human cloning for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.

Today it is research with human embryonic stem cells and attempts to prepare cloned stem cells for research and medical therapies that are being disavowed as being ethically unacceptable.

For after my marriage I had made various attempts to write fiction. They were clearly failures.

There are powerful emotions that bring two people together in wonderful harmony in a marriage. Satan knows this and would tempt you to try these emotions outside of marriage. Do not stir emotions meant to be used only in marriage.

Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.

Marriage is an attempt to solve problems together which you didn't even have when you were on your own.

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

Love feels no burden thinks nothing of trouble attempts what is above its strength pleads no excuse of impossibility for it thinks all things lawful for itself and all things possible.

When I hear somebody sigh 'Life is hard ' I am always tempted to ask 'Compared to what?'

I later spent... five to eight months in hospitals in New Jersey always on an involuntary basis and always attempting a legal argument for release.

It's tempting to say the Ph.D. didn't have an effect but it's not so. I think whatever resonance I may be able to achieve is in part simply from the amount of reading and learning that I acquired along the way.

In the transmission of human culture people always attempt to replicate to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning not DNA.

At a time when we are facing threats from nations such as North Korea and Iran and attempting to convince others such as India and Pakistan to become responsible nuclear powers it is vital that America reclaims the leadership we once had on arms control.

The problem is is that President Bush and the Republican leadership in the Congress have resisted attempts to increase dramatically our fuel economy standards over the last five years.

You can never stop and as older people we have to learn how to take leadership from the youth and I guess I would say that this is what I'm attempting to do right now.

In the present state of our knowledge it would be useless to attempt to speculate on the remote cause of the electrical energy... its relation to chemical affinity is however sufficiently evident. May it not be identical with it and an essential property of matter?
