I discovered that the horse is life itself a metaphor but also an example of life's mystery and unpredictability of life's generosity and beauty a worthy object of repeated and ever changing contemplation.

For all of nature's wonder and beauty it is also hostile and unpredictable.

I'm not going to take this defeatist attitude and listen to all this crap any more from all these people who have nothing except doomsday to predict.

I really believe you can predict when someone has a great attitude a real well of talent.

The American people are smart. They've gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.

I come back to the same thing: We've got the greatest pipeline in the company's history in the next 12 months and we've had the most amazing financial results possible over the last five years and we're predicting being back at double-digit revenue growth in fiscal year '06.

Science is one of a handful of things that defines us as a very special species. It is amazing how far we have been able to get and how accurate our predictions are. I think understanding how the universe was born is very important. It really gives us a perspective on many things.

What I think is amazing is not that 85% of people who get married under the age of 25 get divorced it's that 15% of them stay together. How did they manage to pull that off? You almost can't wait too long. It's the single simplest measure to predict divorce.
