I'm TIRED of hearing it said that DEMOCRACY doesn't work. Of COURSE it doesn't work. We are SUPPOSED to work it.

Life is pretty SIMPLE: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works BIG, others QUICKLY copy it. Then you do something else. The TRICK is the doing something else.

I used to watch those syndicated, black-and-white Country Music TELEVISION shows from the '60s with my dad. And all of those people that PLAYED on our television SET, they just felt like FAMILY to me. And I believed in my heart, as a little kid, that I would be doing that someday and I would know all those people and we would be friends.

In a society that TRIES to standardize THINKING, individuality is not highly PRIZED.

Too many people have been analyzing their pasts, their childhoods, their MEMORIES, their parents, and REALIZING that it doesn't do anything-or that it doesn't do ENOUGH.

We have the capacity to RECEIVE messages from the STARS and the songs of the NIGHT winds.

As a general RULE, I do not THINK it appropriate for JUDGES to heap EITHER praise or censure upon a legislative measure that comes before them, lest it be thought that their validation, invalidation, or interpretation of it is driven by their desire to expand or constrict what they personally approve or disapprove as a matter of POLICY.

Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called DIGITAL divide. Others see it as the SOLUTION. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL and social system.

I WOULD be most content if my CHILDREN grew up to be the kind of people who THINK decorating CONSISTS mostly of building ENOUGH bookshelves.
