When you give everyone a voice and give people power the system usually ends up in a really good place. So what we view our role as is giving people that power.

Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny.

By giving people the power to share we're making the world more transparent.

I think that giving mindless praise is ridiculous. But I understand why parents do it. They want their kids to feel good about themselves. But parents are never going to teach their children true positive self esteem by praising everything they do.

By allowing the positive ions to pass through an electric field and thus giving them a certain velocity it is possible to distinguish them from the neutral stationary atoms.

There's no such thing as an actor giving positive criticism to a director. The minute you say 'Don't you think it would look nicer...' that director's going to hate your guts. Particularly if it's a good idea.

And I'm a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive and as it turned out it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. And so I do appreciate the Ranger staff and the Ranger organization for giving me that opportunity.

Christians were instructed to serve others and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.

When you're looking that far out you're giving people their place in the universe it touches people. Science is often visual so it doesn't need translation. It's like poetry it touches you.

One little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. Many people giving some of their time can make history.

The Palestinians want a state but they have to give peace in return. What they're trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and security. And I think that's that's wrong. That should not succeed. That should that should fail.

Because I know about the Holy Land I've taught lessons about the Holy Land all my life and - but you can't bring peace to Israel without giving the Palestinian also peace. And Lebanon and Jordan and Syria as well.

Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.

Mother Nature may be forgiving this year or next year but eventually she's going to come around and whack you. You've got to be prepared.

Music is a means of giving form to our inner feelings without attaching them to events or objects in the world.

The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly... music is like the ocean and the instruments are little or bigger islands very beautiful for the flowers and trees.

What surrounds us we endure better for giving it a name - and moving on.

I have to say I regretted giving up animated movies.

I spent all my time on my movies worried that people were eating and that the schedule was being kept so to have experts in those areas giving me the brain space as a writer and director is huge.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

What is different is I am giving the kids a chance to train every day. Not only once a day but sometimes when they do not have school we will try to do something in the morning too.

Another very strong image from the first day was giving my initial press conference in the morning - going down and finding out that everything I had said the essence of what I had said was wrong.

Wouldn't it be great if you could only get AIDS by giving money to television preachers?
