The idea of hereditary legislators is as inconsistent as that of hereditary judges, or hereditary juries; and as absurd as an hereditary mathematician, or an hereditary wise man; and as ridiculous as an hereditary poet-laureat.

The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.

Adam and eve - and especially eve - are victims of the greatest character assassination the world has ever known. eve is not secondary. eve, if anything, is the great initiator in the story. she's the first independent woman. for me, rediscovering that eve was the greatest bad**s women of all time was a revelation.

It was hard to become an astronaut. not anywhere near as much physical training as people imagine, but a lot of mental training, a lot of learning. you have to learn everything there is to know about the space shuttle and everything you are going to be doing, and everything you need to know if something goes wrong, and then once you have learned it all, you have to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice until everything is second nature, so it's a very, very difficult training, and it takes years.

The russians are succeeding in continuing their dismemberment of ukraine, they're succeeding in exerting enormous influence in the middle east, which they never had before. they are succeeding - they have succeeded in interfering with our election, and we know that they continue that in the french elections and other elections. and so far they have paid a little or no penalty for all of this misbehavior.

Everyone talks about freedom. all around the world different people, different races, different countries are fighting for freedom. but what is freedom? in america we speak of living in a free country. but are we really free? are we free to be who we really are? the answer is no, we are not free. true freedom has to do with the human spirit-it is freedom to be who we really are. who stops us from being free? we blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame god. who really stops us from being free? we stop ourselves.
