Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed.

The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.

Suffering passes while love is eternal. That's a gift that you have received from God. Don't waste it.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God I believe in the universe. I believe you are god I believe I am god I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We're all god.

My mission is a cosmic mission. My concern is for all of humanity and not only this present world but the world hereafter. My mission penetrates the past present and future and encompasses all humanity.

By the time a person has achieved years adequate for choosing a direction the die is cast and the moment has long since passed which determined the future.

To the citizens of Israel I say: we have passed difficult years faced the most painful experiences and overcame them. The future lies before us. We are required to take difficult and controversial steps but we must not miss the opportunity to try to achieve what we have wished for for so many years: security tranquillity and peace.

Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility.

Everyone comes up to me saying 'Cooee Julie! Hello!' as if I know them. Of course I don't bloody know them. Am I flummoxed by it? Sometimes. I think 'Ooh love go easy.' For a time I did feel this pressure that I had to be funny but it passes.

If I studied all my life I couldn't think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.
