I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free (With Quotes)
We need to build a relationship of trust not just within a firm but within a society. By trust, I mean the recognition of a mutual purpose for which we work together and in which we all benefit.

This is not a battle between the United States of America and terrorism, but between the free and democratic world and terrorism.

The charm of television entertainment is its ability to bridge the chasm between dinner and bedtime without mental distraction (With Quotes)
Television was the most revolutionary event of the century. Its importance was in a class with the discovery of gunpowder and the invention of the printing press, which changed the human condition for centuries afterward (With Quotes)
In today's highly complex society it takes years of training in rationalization, accommodation and compromise to qualify for the good jobs with the really big payoffs you need to retain a first-rate psychiatrist in today's world (With Quotes)
The more local and settled a culture, the better it stays put, the less the damage. It is the foreigner whose road of excess leads to a desert … a man with a machine and inadequate culture … is a pestilence. He shakes more than he can hold (With Quotes)
Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too (With Quotes)
You know I have always tried to be honest with you and open about my life, so I need to tell you that part of what you have heard and read is correct. I am addicted to prescription pain medication (With Quotes)
Look it, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it (With Quotes)
Happiness always comes from within, and its found in the present moment by making peace with the past and looking forward to the future (With Quotes)
The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do (With Quotes)
The absence of sentimentalism in Christ's relations with men is what makes His tenderness so exquisitely touching (With Quotes)
There is a curious law of art...That even the attempt to reproduce the act of seeing, when carried out with sufficient energy, tends to lose its realism and take on the unnatural glittering intensity of hallucination (With Quotes)
A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature (With Quotes)
A public that tries to do without criticism, and asserts that it knows what it wants or likes, brutalizes the arts and loses its cultural memory. Art for art's sake is a retreat from criticism which ends in an impoverishment of civilized life itself (With Quotes)
What if criticism is a science as well as an art? Not a pure or exact science, of course, but these phrases belong to a nineteenth-century cosmology which is no longer with us (With Quotes)
Those who are concerned with the arts are often asked questions, not always sympathetic ones, about the use or value of what they are doing. It is probably impossible to answer such questions directly, or at any rate to answer the people who ask them (With Quotes)
The mark of a great writer: who sees his own time, but with a detachment that makes him communicable to other ages (With Quotes)
I don't want the reduction of religion to aesthetics, but the abolition of aesthetics and incorporating of art with the Word of God (With Quotes)
National defense through war always involves some degree of national defeat. This paradox has been with us from the very beginning of our republic. Militarization in defense of freedom reduces the freedom of the defenders. There is a fundamental inconsistency between war and freedom (With Quotes)
An aphorism is not a cliche: it penetrates and bites. It has wit, and consequently an affinity with satire...Christ speaks in aphorisms, not because they are alive, but because he is (With Quotes)
Continuous prose suggests complete identification with the representing, observing, immersing-in-object self. Aphorisms suggest a richer and varied personality made up more of internal conflicts and decisions. An epiphanic sequence suggests the highest mystery of personality (With Quotes)
What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things (With Quotes)
