Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth.

Stand-up comics reflect less of a visual humor and more of a commentary.

My childhood memories are amazing; I had freedom in every way - but I see everything from a different perspective now that I live outside.

One of my great joys in life is being a pilot. There is a great sense of freedom in soaring through the sky. You get a different perspective up there. Seeing things that aren't so apparent from the ground.

The goal of any farmer, after producing enough to feed his own family, has always been to find the best place to sell the year's crop.

Floods, droughts, and natural disasters are a fact of life for farmers, ranchers, and foresters. They have persevered in the past, and they will adapt in the future - with the assistance of the scientists and experts at USDA.

My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service.

Governments that block the aspirations of their people, that steal or are corrupt, that oppress and torture or that deny freedom of expression and human rights should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people, or where warranted, the reach of international law.

You can gain in your effectiveness as a politician from a wide acquaintance with the world and from a degree of independence that having some outside interests gives.

Spending only what the country can afford, rewarding savings, encouraging independence, supporting marriage: people know that these things are common sense.

I don't deny that there are problems in the intelligence world, but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world.

It's really necessary for the United States to continue to give strong leadership to the Middle East peace process, supported by European countries at the same time.

To the teacher weighed down with paperwork, I say: you've been messed around too often. You came into teaching to spend your time teaching children not filling in forms.

When a Cabinet Minister who is sacked for telling lies is re-appointed, in the face of every constitutional convention, only for the same man to be sacked again from the same Cabinet for the same offence by the same Prime Minister no wonder the public are cynical about politics.

When we have a Deputy Prime Minister who tells people not to drive cars but has two Jags himself, and where the Minister who tells people not to have two homes turns out to have nine himself no wonder the public believe politicians are hypocrites.

Let's not be afraid to speak the common sense truth: you can't have high standards without good discipline.

There's only one growth strategy: work hard.

I believe we should reframe our response to climate change as an imperative for growth rather than merely being a way of being green or meeting environmental commitments.

I love the simplicity and freedom of running. A pair of shoes, and you are all set to explore new trails.

Keep looking up! I learn from the past, dream about the future and look up. There's nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day.

I go on walks during lunch breaks and travel with a fold-up yoga mat. I also love reading by candlelight at night.

In Los Angeles, I drive a hybrid and live in a very simple home. Anything you do from carrying a canteen of water to starting a recycling program in your office makes a difference. Reusing what you already have has always been green - from clothes to boxes to glass jars from the supermarket.

Rosa Parks was the queen mother of a movement whose single act of heroism sparked the movement for freedom, justice and equality. Her greatest contribution is that she told us a regular person can make a difference.

This - the leadership of the mayor is crucial, because it is to the mayor that people will look to provide the vision, the energy, and the sense of confidence in the rebuilding and the recovery.

I think I'm mostly looking forward to the college life. I'm looking forward to more freedom. Here everything is really structured and scheduled, but in college you've got to be more responsible and you can get things done on your own time. I'm really looking forward to that.

Anyone who knows me knows my mom, Dorcina, has to sign off on any decision and that she will play a major part in any decision.

The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree.

Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, and robes the mountain in its azure hue.

The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.

Again, it may be said, that to love justice and equality the people need no great effort of virtue; it is sufficient that they love themselves.

No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.

When there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there will be no state.

When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.

While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State.

Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.

The government is tottering. We must deal it the death blow an any cost. To delay action is the same as death.

The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament.

Sometimes - history needs a push.

The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.

It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.

There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.

To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics.

Politics begin where the masses are, not where there are thousands, but where there are millions, that is where serious politics begin.

Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

If we desire a society in which men are brothers, then we must act towards one another with brotherhood. If we can build such a society, then we would have achieved the ultimate goal of human freedom.

War is wrong. Conscription for war is inconsistent with freedom of conscience, which is not merely the right to believe but to act on the degree of truth that one receives, to follow a vocation which is God-inspired and God-directed.

The principal factors which influenced my life are 1) nonviolent tactics; 2) constitutional means; 3) democratic procedures; 4) respect for human personality; 5) a belief that all people are one.

If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence. If we desire a society without discrimination, then we must not discriminate against anyone in the process of building this society. If we desire a society that is democratic, then democracy must become a means as well as an end.

When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him.
