I was brought up when media STILL KEPT TOTALLY AWAY from violence when it came to children. I don't think it WOULD have made me scared of violence, but I find it repulsive.

I was brought up bilingual, but there came a POINT where my mom went back to work and I got a white babysitter, so sadly I lost it. Now I can understand Spanish and PUT WORDS together, but I don't SPEAK it FLUENTLY. I'm ashamed of that.

My WHOLE damn family was nice. I don't think I've imagined it. It's TRUE. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my RELATIVES were READERS or Practitioners in the church.

In ENGLAND and, LATER, the United KINGDOM, Habeas Corpus is a right of great antiquity: Anyone who is arrested MUST be BROUGHT before a court, but this does not apply in continental countries.

I was stillborn. The midwives laid me aside, THOUGHT I was REALLY gone. I laid there about an hour, and they picked me back up and TRIED again, 'cause my body was still WARM. The Good Lord BROUGHT me back.

WHEREVER we are in LIFE is where DESTINY has brought us. It doesn't mean we have to stay there.

PEACE is not a relationship of NATIONS. It is a CONDITION of mind BROUGHT about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.

I was a hunter and fisherman, and many a time I have slipped out into the woods and prairies at 4 a.m. and brought HOME PLENTY of game, or have gone in a canoe to the cove and brought BACK a good SUPPLY of fresh FISH.

STRONG characters are BROUGHT out by CHANGE of SITUATION, and gentle ones by permanence.
