Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.

I do feel like I have always in my life been inclined to be on the outside walk a different path or something. Because of that and increasingly over the years my sense of distance from mainstream society or from the way culture works I have a different kind of perception of it.

We need to develop and disseminate an entirely new paradigm and practice of collaboration that supersedes the traditional silos that have divided governments philanthropies and private enterprises for decades and replace it with networks of partnerships working together to create a globally prosperous society.

I figured out I guess that the job just makes me happy if it's not number one. So if it all works great. If it doesn't I still go home look at my kids and I have a big smile on my face.

In science read by preference the newest works. In literature read the oldest. The classics are always modern.

What business has science and capitalism got bringing all these new inventions into the works before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!

Learn about the world the way it works any kind of science and anthropology it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea even more than the idea of God I think.

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings the chance to glimpse things never seen before the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.

In science read by preference the newest works in literature the oldest. The classic literature is always modern.

The capacity of the female mind for studies of the highest order cannot be doubted having been sufficiently illustrated by its works of genius of erudition and of science.

English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese.

I think it's sad to me that I had to make a decision to not play the game that I feel like I'm best at and that I love. But if it was just about the game itself I'd be there in a heartbeat. But that's not how the real world works.

I know for works for me - those wonderful sad love songs.

Yeah romantic comedies are the hardest movies to make. Maybe one works a year.

I leave CNN with the utmost respect love and admiration for the company and everyone who works here. This has been my family and shared endeavor for the past 27 years and I am forever grateful and proud of all that we have accomplished.

What I respect as far as in myself and in others is the spirit of just doing it. For better or worse it may work and it may not but I'm going to go for it. Ultimately I probably prefer to be respected for that than whether it works out or not either winning or losing.

Religion works on some people but not on everyone because it says 'Stop thinking and accept what I tell you.' That's not valid for people who want to think and reflect.

There are two sorts of hypocrites: ones that are deceived with their outward morality and external religion and the others are those that are deceived with false discoveries and elevation which often cry down works and men's own righteousness and.

I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.

I finally did work out a very good relationship with my father but it was rough growing up. We had a lot of conflict and I think it surfaced in many of my works.

My work is about life as you and I experience it. You're either lucky or you're not lucky either your relationship works or it doesn't.

I always want to have a personal relationship with everybody that works for me.

I shoot people in a way that makes the audience feel equal to them. And it's hard to express and it's hard to execute but I think it works on every level - the choice of the material the choice of the actor my relationship with the actor and so on.

What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public - keeping it as personal as it can be. It's the only way it is real.

Just as Pollock used the drip to meld process and product Richter 'found' and used the smudge and the blur to ravish the eye creating works of psychic and physical power.

Capitalism works better from every perspective when the economic decision makers are forced to share power with those who will be affected by those decisions.

To protect people's lives and keep our children safe we must implement public-works spending and do so proudly. If possible I'd like to see the Bank of Japan purchase all of the construction bonds that we need to issue to cover the cost. That would also forcefully circulate money in the market. That would be positive for the economy too.

I just want to put some positive stuff out there. If it works great. If it doesn't no problem.

It would be great if politics were fact-based but it is not and it is surely not nuance-based. What works in a classroom or a think tank does not work on Capitol Hill or in the White House. Obama sometimes seems to be running the Brookings Institution not the country.

When times are tough constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world cooperation works better. After all nobody's right all the time and a broken clock is right twice a day.
