It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week the minimum wage family leave health insurance Social Security Medicare retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.

Education is the cornerstone of our communities and our country.

Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom democracy and sustainable human development.

I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel folk and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.

Courage can't see around corners but goes around them anyway.

The trick at Le Mans is to get the car 'in the window.' Everything is critical: the tyre pressure the brake temperature and that means you have to push the car a lot to get it into the window - it's about getting everything to work right and getting the car to flow through the corners.

You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.

The fast flowing parts the high-speed corners that's where a Formula One car is at its best - changes of direction pulling high g-forces left and right.

To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car you have to be in it. When you're driving a 750hp machine at 200mph the noise and the vibrations are incredible. The G-force when you take big corners is like someone trying to rip your head off. You hit the brakes and it feels as if the skin is being pulled off your body.

What is sacred among one people may be ridiculous in another and what is despised or rejected by one cultural group may in a different environment become the cornerstone for a great edifice of strange grandeur and beauty.

I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then all of a sudden I was the one being watched.
