One cannot plan for the unexpected.

I like teaching and the contact with young minds keeps one on one's toes.

The philosophy of the school was quite simple - the bright boys specialised in Latin, the not so bright in science and the rest managed with geography or the like.

However, I should perhaps add that during the 20 years I have been back in Cambridge, I have been actively involved in the teaching of undergraduates, as well as of course supervising research students.

My father was trained as a saddler, but in fact as a young man worked in his father's business of rearing and selling cattle, so he grew up in the countryside.

This field is not necessarily glamorous, nor does it often produce immediate results, but it seeks to increase our basic understanding of living processes.

In the course of my stay there, I also showed how one could analyse the experimental kinetic curves for the reaction of haemoglobin with carbon dioxide or oxygen by simulations in the computer, and so fit the rate constants.

One cannot plan for the unexpected.

Cambridge was the place for someone from the Colonies or the Dominions to go on to, and it was to the Cavendish Laboratory that one went to do physics.

Human curiosity, the urge to know, is a powerful force and is perhaps the best secret weapon of all in the struggle to unravel the workings of the natural world.

This work made me more and more interested in biological matter, and I decided that I really wanted to work on the X-ray analysis of biological molecules.

Shortly after I was born he emigrated to Durban, where members of my mother's family had settled at the turn of the century, and the rest of the family followed soon thereafter.

The work requires a moderately large investment in technological and theoretical developments and long periods of time to carry them out, without the pressure to achieve quick or short term results.

All say, How hard it is that we have to die—a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.

Who would be free themselves must strike the blow. Better even to die free than to live slaves.

Sharing the holiday with other people, and feeling that you're giving of yourself, gets you past all the commercialism.

You have to trust your body to take care of you.

The greatest part of intimate confidences proceed from a desire either to be pitied or admired.

I looked to my mom as an example. And this is what I try to tell so many women: that my mom had a career, and she went to the gym. She took care of herself.

So it is necessary that we should learn to be alone.

Roy Acuff's from Maynardville, and that's where a lot of my family's from. So he's, I've been told, a distant cousin, as well.

People can't help how they look.

It was a sad process for me to become a mom, and a long process. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't have a biological child.

Once you have the support of the lads around you, you can't ask for any more.

For me, I've always taken being on a set as my school, because I've been working since I was ten.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.

The manly part is to do with might and main what you can do.

It was all so far away - there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.

There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.

Always have a plan when you shop. Have your list ready so that you know who you're purchasing gifts for and an estimate on how much you're going to spend.

But that's the challenge-to change the system more than it changes you.

Geoengineering - the deliberate, large-scale manipulation of the earth's climate to offset global warming - is a nightmare fix for climate change.

I plan on having the credibility and integrity of being a part of an entertainment news program like 'E!,' in addition to being on the actor side as well.

Smart, well-meaning people get it wrong when they start believing that the world owes them something and that the rules are different for them.

Women and men look at their life, and women say, 'What do I need? Do I need more money, or do I need more time?' And women are intelligent enough to say, 'I need more time.' And so, women lead balanced lives; men should be learning from women.

Show me the country that has no strikes and I'll show you the country in which there is no liberty.

Factories are the workplaces of our National Socialist racial comrades.
