I should esteem it the extreme of imprudence to prolong the precarious state of our national affairs, and to expose the union to the jeopardy of successive experiments, in the chimerical pursuit of a perfect plan. i never expect to see a perfect work from imperfect man. the result of the deliberations of all collective bodies must necessarily be a compound, as well of the errors and prejudices, as of the good sense and wisdom, of the individuals of whom they are composed.

The main characteristic of collectivism is that it does not take notice of the individual's will and moral self-determination. in the light of its philosophy the individual is born into a collective and it is "natural" and proper for him to behave as members of this collective are expected to behave. expected by whom? of course, by those individuals to whom, by the mysterious decrees of some mysterious agency, the task of determining the collective will and directing the actions of the collective has been entrusted.

But let not the foundation of our hope rest upon man's wisdom. it will not be sufficient that sectional prejudices find no place in the public deliberations. it will not be sufficient that the rash counsels of human passion are rejected. it must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble, acknowledged dependence upon god and his overruling providence.

As far as i'm concerned, the world is composed of stories. for architects, the world is composed of buildings, for actors the world is composed of theatres, or whatever... for me, the world is simply composed of stories, when i look, that's what i see.

I haven't been sorting through each and every aspect of this. here's what i know: hillary clinton was an outstanding secretary of state. she would never intentionally put america in any kind of jeopardy.' mr. wallace pressed further on the jeopardy angle, and mr. obama responded again: 'i continue to believe that she has not jeopardized america's national security. now what i've also said is that - and she has acknowledged - that there's a carelessness, in terms of managing emails...'"

The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated north american union--complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the union. like the european union, a north american union would represent another step toward the abolition of national sovereignty altogether.

Once a positive goal is chosen, you should decide to pursue it all the way to the end. even if it is not realized, at least there will be no regret.

You can't realize your dreams unless you have one to begin with.

Music is my main goal, but i'm not going to rush a record out. there are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. i don't want to do it because it's the thing to do. i want to wait until the time is right.
