A little girl who finds a puzzle frustrating might ask her busy mother (or teacher) for help. The child gets one message if her mother expresses clear pleasure at the request and quite another if mommy responds with a curt 'Don't bother me - I've got important work to do.'

Looking ahead I believe that the underlying importance of higher education of science of technology of research and scholarship to our quality of life to the strength of our economy to our security in many dimensions will continue to be the most important message.

Some in my party threaten to send a message that they don't know a just war when they see it and more broadly that they're not prepared to use our military strength to protect our security and the cause of freedom.

That's what Major League Baseball's steroid scandal was all about the hidden harm in competitive sports that sends the wrong message to the young.

We would like to get to a point in our society where people really are colorblind and this message would not have to be told anymore. Unfortunately we're not there yet.

We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners.

I think that the majority of messages are validating messages to confirm the survival of conscious. And many times that validation message is negative or sad.

Every word facial expression gesture or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.

The message of music was also the first thing what I learned from my first teacher. She was an organist too and she was very devoted to what she played so she had a respect for every piece and she felt that she is not allowed to add something of her own.

No philosophy no religion has ever brought so glad a message to the world as this good news of Atheism.
