I challenged things that needed to be challenged at Purdue.

Teaching was the most pleasant thing I did.

While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.

Sometimes my quotes may be too colorful.

The difference was you worked for Nixon, and with Ford.

But you've got to make choices, and you're not going to be right all the time.

Nixon was kind of a loner, he had a cold personality.

No, I try not to be a negative thinker.

I understood public relations and always maintained a high profile.

I made lots of talks and challenged lots of people.

Ford was warm and friendly. He wouldn't embarrass a Cabinet member.

I was a stubborn cuss, and I made some mistakes.

But youve got to make choices and youre not going to be right all the time.

When I was in school, all our history books were American, so we learned American history, not Canadian history.

We're always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who've closed down. And there are times in one's life when one has to close down just to regroup.

Monotony collapses time. Novelty unfolds it.

I'm a big fan of David Attenborough, who I think is the most adventurous of the nature program presenters.

The framework of a symphony must be so strong that it forces you to follow it, regardless of the environment and circumstances.

I do not live in a world where people can walk on water, or still a storm, or take five loaves of bread and feed 5000 men plus women and children. If that is a requirement of my commitment to Jesus, I find it difficult to stretch my mind outside the capacities of my world view.

When I was a little kid, my mother and I used to watch the 'Golden Globes' and I would dress up and she would get sparkling apple cider and we would make a tray of hors d'oeuvres and watch it together. And I would get up and make a pretend speech.

The web is functionally fantastic, but it's a tool. A terrific place to present information but not, at this stage, a tenably emotional location.

Architects are not clients. We can't build without something to built.

I see Earth! It is so beautiful!

I can play the trumpet. Before I became an actor, I wanted to be the next Louis Armstrong. I started young and got to grade seven. When I turned 13, everyone started whipping out guitars, looking cool and joining rock bands, so I stopped playing.

I follow the teachings of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, United States Marine Corps. He won two Congressional Medals of Honor, and he wrote the highly controversial antiwar book 'War is a Racket.'

You cannot see the Grand Canyon in one view, as if it were a changeless spectacle from which a curtain might be lifted, but to see it, you have to toil from month to month through its labyrinths.

I think it's an area that one writes from that is curious because it is not a clearly defined partisan one.

I wrote '33 Men' in eight weeks. Not only was it a combination of simultaneously writing and interviewing, but as I dug deeper into the miners' story, I found the key to their success was the ability to place their individuality on the back burner and bring forward the sense of a collective group responsibility.

The time is coming when the pressure of population on the means of subsistence will be felt here as it is now felt in Europe and Asia. Then will the world enter upon a new stage of its history - the final competition of races, for which the Anglo-Saxon is being schooled.

The spirit of L.A. is untamed wilderness. It's earthquakes and wildfires and oceans and mountain lions and fog. There's great physical beauty.

I think these people have betrayed or have forgotten their ancestors.

If you're just a nice guy - you don't let people walk on you - but if you're just a nice guy and treat people right, good things happen.

Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.

This is the absolute truth: and on this truth our tactics must be based. All tactics that are not based on this are false, and lead the proletariat to terrible defeat.
