In my family in the days prior to television we liked to while away the evenings by making ourselves miserable solely based on our ability to speak the language viciously.

There is an overwhelming amount of information available to us all on the web each day not to mention what is shared with us by our family friends fans and followers. This necessitates the need to filter through all that information and to decide for ourselves where to put our attention.

When we're dealing with the people in our family - no matter how annoying or gross they may be no matter how self-inflicted their suffering may appear no matter how afflicted they are with ignorance prejudice or nose hairs - we give from the deepest parts of ourselves.

The Hispanic community understands the American Dream and have not forgotten what they were promised - that in the U.S. a free market system allows us all to succeed economically achieve stability and security for your family and leave your children better off than yourselves.

The civil rights movement was based on faith. Many of us who were participants in this movement saw our involvement as an extension of our faith. We saw ourselves doing the work of the Almighty. Segregation and racial discrimination were not in keeping with our faith so we had to do something.

Often we are quick to find blame with others but yet are unable to give constructive responses. There seems to be a tendency to doubt almost everything. Do we not have faith in our own people's strengths and in our institutions? Can we afford distrust amongst ourselves?

We have the incredible privilege of serving in the highest offices in the state. We must prove ourselves worthy of our fellow citizens' faith. We must be trusted to always place the public's good above our own and to always choose fairness over favoritism.

Faith always contains an element of risk of venture and we are impelled to make the venture by the affinity and attraction which we feel in ourselves.

It helps I think to consider ourselves on a very long journey: the main thing is to keep to the faith to endure to help each other when we stumble or tire to weep and press on.

Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge it slays our need for it.

That is not to say that we can relax our readiness to defend ourselves. Our armament must be adequate to the needs but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense but in ourselves.

Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for lost faith in ourselves.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.

I simply don't believe in failure. In itself it doesn't exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail.

The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.

Advertising is the edge of what people know how to do and of human experience and it explains the latest ways progress has changed us to ourselves.

Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.

We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces which represent 30% of our musical experience.

We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life and often find ourselves without experience despite our years.

Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity wonder spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

Experience as a desire for experience does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.

I believe that as women we must commit ourselves to sustaining the progress made by our foremothers who fought so hard for women's equality and liberation.

I want to organize so that women see ourselves as people who are entitled to power entitled to leadership.
