I feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by it's own greatest strength - it's diversity.

He knows not his own strength that has not met adversity.

Something called 'the Oklahoma Standard' became known throughout the world. It means resilience in the face of adversity. It means a strength and compassion that will not be defeated.

America's strength is not our diversity our strength is our ability to unite people of different backgrounds around common principles. A common language is necessary to reach that goal.

He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity.

When adversity strikes that's when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back stay strong stay grounded and press on.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.

Academics often discount the value of top-rated sports programs in helping to develop a campus life and in contributing to the overall success of a college or university. Like it or not the sports programs a college or university has are the front page of that university.

I was training to be a lawyer... I was president of the law society at Glasgow University and my bass guitarist was my secretary of my law society the lead guitarist and writer worked at the law firm that I worked.

I really think that elected officials should be focused on how you create sustained economic growth how do you create jobs and all of these issues that made people - segments of our society believe are really important are diversions politically.

Since my retirement I've spent a lot of time trying to help the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina. A society like this just can't afford an uneducated underclass of citizens.

Diversity in the world is a basic characteristic of human society and also the key condition for a lively and dynamic world as we see today.

Carl took on the military-industrial complex. He campaigned around the world for an end to the production of weapons of mass destruction. To him it was a perversion of science.

However I wasn't very good at the sciences or didn't have a lot of help in the sciences or something but certainly didn't set science for my A level. And when I came to take my A levels I didn't get a good enough result to go to University.

In the forensic science course I took at university they used photographs of dead bodies. For ballistics they showed us a guy lying on the floor and his head had burst.

Many of the mainstream agricultural scientists especially at the agricultural schools but at all of our major universities are tied into all sorts of contractual relationships and consulting relationships with the life science companies.

I did although I didn't read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry.

It's really sad that the kids today can only relate to Beethoven via a rock version of his music.

I never get scared making these kinds of movies because it's all make-believe but I did cry when I saw the finished version of Man On Fire because it is so sad.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

When you're playing a romantic version of a real person you're playing a version of the truth.

I feel close to Lloyd in 'Say Anything'. He was like a super-interesting version of me. Only I'm not as good as him. Whatever part of me is romantic and optimistic I reached into that to play Lloyd.

I have more respect for somebody who points at his ideal - in this case the ideal of the pirate - and then becomes something that's more radical more exciting more subversive than a pirate could ever be.

I can remember when I was a baby and my mother was there watching the show. I went and bought 100 episodes and watched them. I respect it so much that the sitcom itself and Ed Norton I'm not playing Ed Norton but my version of it cause I'm a black man.
