Of course learning is strengthened and solidified when it occurs in a safe secure and normal environment.

The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention.

The more consistent a father can be or a mentor can be in the person's life and teach them principles of real solid manhood character integrity and leadership the more consistent you can be in the person's life and teach them those things at a younger age and then the better off they'll be.

This celebration here tells me that this work is not hopeless. I thank you for this teaching with all my heart and lift my glass to human solidarity to the ultimate victory of knowledge peace good-will and understanding.

Magnanimous people have no vanity they have no jealousy and they feed on the true and the solid wherever they find it. And what is more they find it everywhere.

Now it is quite clear to me that there are no solid spheres in the heavens and those that have been devised by the authors to save the appearances exist only in the imagination.

Essentially I'm untrained so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I'm going to be playing.

I'm a better person in a relationship and I'm a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure.

Given political history in Chile it seemed to me that there was a critical task of consolidating a democracy and creating healthy civic-military and political-military relationships.

Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us. The most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool.
