What we resist persists.

We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.

What we resist persists.

It's only when we have nothing else to hold onto that we're willing to try something very audacious and scary.

What we have most to fear is failure of the heart.

I liked the name of the amendment. I couldn't help feeling uneasy that the church was opposing something with a name as beautiful as the Equal Rights Amendment.

A friend said to me, 'Be glad for your troubles - they strengthen you.' Well, if that's the truth, I'm going to be so strong they'll have to beat me to death!

I came from the most orthodox background you could ask for.

I still feel Mormon. Those men in Salt Lake City can't decide who's Mormon and who isn't.

I'm one of the few people in this world who can do anything I choose. I can't tell you how good I'm feeling.

In our home we grew up thinking we were Mormons first and human beings second.

Obviously, the anti-ERA people are tickled about my ordeal because it proves that the ERA breaks up families. When they point out that feminism is a dangerous thing, I just say marriage is pretty precarious too.

The mid-life crisis hits men harder than women.

Women have to risk civil disobedience for their rights.

So long as we think dugout canoes are the only possibility all that is real or can be real we will never see the ship we will never feel the free wind blow.

I want every version of a woman and a man to be possible. I want women and men to be able to be full-time parents or full-time working people or any combination of the two.

Forget about winning and losing, forget about pride and pain.

Whatever I've experienced in my life is a part of my story, and I'm proud of that. But it's someone who wakes up early, works all day, believes in charitable work, business-minded, diligent, accountable, problem-solving... I'm so much about school, consistency and tradition.

I mean, the problem is, I think I'm a great writer.

I don't stage my own publicity.

The grievance industry always seeks to blame other people while never finding a solution.

It takes a lot of courage as an actor to take time off for family. But family is everything.

Pipelines are the safest way to move oil.

Some people come into our lives leave footprints in our hearts and minds and we are never the same again.

I cry out for order and find it only in art.

We need to be adopted by God through Jesus - that was what happened to me, and that's what changed my life so that now, I can see that my career can be part of a calling.

I think that success is having fun.

My great concern is not whether you have failed but whether you are content with your failure.

Almost all of my graduate students say that they got interested in dinosaurs because of 'Jurassic Park.'

Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable.

On matters of race, on matters of decency, baseball should lead the way.

If inequalities of taxable wealth backing up a government service are construed as denying equality before the law, then there is no solution but to have every government service whatever financed out of Washington.

It is teamwork that makes the dream work.

My mother and my father have always supported me. Now in their eighties, they actually clamor onto the tour bus with me once or twice a year so they can watch the performances and hear the crowds. Traveling with eighty-something-year-olds on a tour bus... there has to be some sort of reality show in that.

High school was interesting. For the most part, I quite enjoyed it. But everyone is trying to find their footing, and school can be a tough environment. Kids can be cruel to each other. It's quite unforgiving at times.

The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.

More and more these days what I find myself doing in my stories is making a representation of goodness and a representation of evil and then having those two run at each other full-speed, like a couple of PeeWee football players, to see what happens. Who stays standing? Whose helmet goes flying off?

The truth is that beginning in the 1970s, the heart of our Democratic party, America's strong striving middle class, began drifting away from us.

I have been judged to be a pessimist but what abyss of ignorance and low egoism is not hidden in one who thinks that Man is the god of himself and that his future can only be triumphant?
