I'm not sure you can do anything quickly or easily with the North.

We have a model that we're following, and it's the Libya model.

There is a different future that is available to North Korea, if they choose differently.

What we can do is to explain as clearly as possible what the benefits would be of him going down one path, and what the potential consequences would be if he chooses another path.

The format's better because it gives us a much stronger hand to play when going to the North Koreans unified, with our allies and partners in the region, all of us saying the same thing: telling them their current course is unacceptable.

I'm not sure you can do anything quickly or easily with the North.

Sometimes we tend to focus more on the personalities and the conflicts, and it really caricatures the issues.

First of all we have to recognize that despite all the problems - and in some cases failures - that this regime has been much more successful, much more resilient, than people had anticipated.

And it has to do with having no inventory or stockpiles on the shelf, but items arrive as you need to build your product. What that means is that it's much more difficult to actually find stockpiles of already built weapons.

Any agreement that you have isn't going to be based on North Korea's intentions or trust.

And so there has been a lot of diplomatic movement.

First of all, I think the situation today is different. We're in a different place than we were in '93, '94.

You are either going forward or you are not.

The other countries did not share the same concern the United States had in the early '90's - that North Korea actually had an ongoing nuclear weapons program.

It's up to Kim Jong Il to make that decision, and we can't make that for him.

It's time for the IRA to go out of business.

Again, I think we have much greater diplomatic weight by having all of us sit on the same side of the table wanting the same thing, and putting it to the North Koreans.

You have to play the cards you are dealt and if it has made it harder, it doesn't matter, you still have to get the deal done.

We need to do a lot more thinking about how the regime is going to evolve, how the bad guys are going to adapt their tactics, and what measures we're going to need in order to go forward.

So, in a sense, the verification piece is irrelevant to the format issue.

We are hopeful that the North Koreans can show a little bit more realism, a little bit more flexibility.

Now North Korea certainly is located in a different place geographically, but I think it faces the same type of strategic decision. Does it want a different future for its people?

But with lots of good ideas, implementation is the key, and so we need to keep our eye on the ball as we go forward and make sure that people honor their pledges in terms of financial commitments, and that we actually use this money so that it makes a real difference.

The nexus between terrorism and nuclear weapons, or even nuclear material, is obviously a current concern.

Everyone I have spoken with so far recognises the need for the IRA to respond positively and every has said sooner is better than later and I think there is some concern if it does continue to delay much longer that the situation isn't going to remain the same.

So the president set out the policy guidance and said it had to take place in a multilateral fashion so that other countries in the region could be invested in the success of this process.

God and the politicians willing, the United States can declare peace upon the world, and win it.

Some people only ask others to do something. I believe that, why should I wait for someone else? Why don't I take a step and move forward.

I learned there are ways to approach life. You can never change the events, but you can change the way you approach them.

If you can stay in love for more than two years, you're onto something.

During the course of my football and business careers, I have had the great honor of meeting and associating with many outstanding leaders.

This is my saddest story: In grade school, they would have us open our Valentine's cards and read them out loud. I always sent cards to myself because nobody else did.

Public employee unions, in their defense, say politicians have unfairly made them into simplistic bogeymen, responsible for problems that have myriad causes. Not all government workers receive generous pensions, they note.

Marxism is not scientific: At best, it has scientific prejudices.

The greatest propaganda coup of the American Right has been to convince its citizens that we are in the grip of a liberal conspiracy.

To be able to serve and to eat a whole fish, especially a trout, is part of civilized dining. This applies particularly to the young, who should take to it as soon as they can handle knife and fork; this is a fine way for them to begin taking pride in themselves and their abilities.

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.

The market is incredibly inefficient and capable on rare occasions of being utterly dysfunctional. And people have a really hard time getting their brain around that fact. They want to believe that it's approximately efficient almost all the time, and it simply isn't true.

Money doesn't buy happiness. But happiness isn't everything.

We all know and we all perceive Christian Dior in a very specific way.

Work is both my living and my pleasure.

I'm more rooted in new plays and new writing.

The real advantage for me is that I have the opportunity to lead worship every Sunday.

I'd like to continue being involved with issues that animated my time as attorney general - criminal-justice reform and civil rights especially. I don't just want to give speeches; I'd like to involve myself in this work in a systematic way.

You know the camera is not meant just to show misery.

Britain is doing brilliant things around the world and that is why I described as a 'superpower on development.'

I am not a fitness freak, but I do my regular exercises.

Trying to understand women is a tall order period.

My freshman year of high school, I started wrestling, and I ended up loving it more than anything I'd ever done.
