Technology is such a broad kind of term it really applies to so many things from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it as I expect most people do. With the computer I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer.

We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do and more in the light of what they suffer.

I lived by the candlelight for two years because I couldn't afford power. It was nice and romantic at the time but if you can't afford power you're pretty broke. You endure it.

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused dedicated disciplined.

A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.

I try to keep it light and positive most of the time whereas earlier on I didn't always do that.

I take any opportunity I can to raise our country's flag really high and get some shining positive light on things over there.

The nature of catastrophe is after all reasonably unvarying in the way it ruins destroys wounds and devastates. But if something can be learned from the event - not least something as profound as the theory of plate tectonics - then it somehow puts the ruination into a much more positive light.

To delight in war is a merit in the soldier a dangerous quality in the captain and a positive crime in the statesman.

If you are given a chance to be a role model I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.
