The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.

Normally, people give up parliament because they want to do more business or spend more time with family. My wife said 'why don't you say you're giving up to devote more time to politics?'. And it is what I have done.

My family is my number one priority.

The accession to power in Pyongyang of Kim Jong Un, son of Kim Jong Il and grandson of Kim Il Sung, is a unique achievement in world politics.

I always prided myself on being apart from the ruling class. I think it's always important, not just in Washington but in life, to be able to able to balance your sense of belonging with what it's like to be someone who doesn't belong.

People say there's no trace of an accent anymore, and there isn't because I worked very hard to lose it. And the reason I did that is a British accent in America is a real status symbol.

When I'm on the road, I'll break my exercise into a cardio session and a weights session.

I've been told I have an aggressive driving style.

I am not interested in medals or titles. I don't need them. I need the love of the public and I fight for it.

I had studied Irish history. I had read speeches from the dock. I had tried to fuse the vivid past of my nation with the lost spaces of my childhood.

If you trace the history of mankind, our evolution has been mediated by technology, and without technology it's not really obvious where we would be. So I think we have always been cyborgs in this sense.

All humans realize they are loved when witnessing the dawn early morning is the triumph of good over evil. Absolved by light we decide to go on.

I don't want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He's a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way, even though it might be temporarily unpopular, is the best approach.

Charities must treat donors as if they were shareholders.

Music is another great pleasure of life. I like all sorts.

There is a lot of bad architecture. What we need more is to look at how our landscape should look in the next decades.

For an industry that's built on science, the technology world sure has its share of myths.

Coming together should be considered something positive for people and communities. When thoughts come together, that can be more positive than an individual thought.

Be grateful for each moment we have and be happy but more than anything live it fully.

There is love enough in this world for everybody, if people will just look.

Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.
