For me and I suspect for lots of other people too bad things actually sometimes make you think more about faith and the fact that you're not facing these things on your own.

Faith like a jackal feeds among the tombs and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.

You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family my friends and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.

Love hope fear faith - these make humanity These are its sign and note and character.

God our Creator has stored within our minds and personalities great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

It breaks my heart to see these young really talented bands getting chewed up into the system. I remember a time if you'd signed to a major label it was such a sell out! But now... unless you've signed to a big label you're a failure now.

I know acts and I'm not going to name names but these people sold ten million copies the first time and the second album sells three million and it's considered a failure and they're dropped and that's really a shame.

Capital isn't that important in business. Experience isn't that important. You can get both of these things. What is important is ideas.

Before this learning experience I had assumed that with regard to programs that sought to help people out of poverty the political world was essentially divided into two camps: conservatives who opposed these for a variety of reasons and liberals who supported them.

I hate these platforms that are all over the place today they are all about grabbing attention. They are suburban! I never do a platform. Well I did in the 1970s but that was a bad experience.
