I think the materialist conception of history is valid.

Without words without writing and without books there would be no history there could be no concept of humanity.

A lot of young players don't really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork.

The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.

A common misconception is that the costs of health care are cheaper in rural America when in fact the reality is that they are more expensive and more difficult to access.

TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It's downright bad for your health now and that's not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.

If you asked somebody 'what do you wish for in life?' they wouldn't say 'happiness.' I would have answered 'excitement knowledge ' God knows - I mean many many different things but certainly not 'happiness'. It seemed like a foreign concept to wish for something that specific and that singular.

I'm fulfilled in what I do. I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes - the finer things of life - would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.

We are all used to paying a sales tax when we buy things - almost 9 percent here in New York City. The application of this concept to the financial sector could solve our need for revenue bring some sanity back into the financial sector and give us a way to raise the revenue we need to run the government in a fiscally responsible way.

It's a mystery. That's the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one it's mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept and you have to take it seriously.
