Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it to accept it no matter where it leads him.

Under the influence of fear which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things they magnified their enemies' resources and minimized their own.

Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.

The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.

Fundamentalists are panicked by the apparent disintegration of the family the disappearance of certainty and the decay of morality. Fear leads them to ask if we cannot trust the Bible what can we trust?

At issue was the question whether this man's faith could prevail against a man whose equal faith it was that this society is sick beyond saving and that mercy itself pleads for its swift extinction and replacement by another.

A quest for knowledge is not a war with faith spirituality is not usually an infelicitous amalgam of superstition and philistinism and moral relativism taken outside midfield leads inexorably both to heresy and to secular wickedness which are often identical.

I'm a private guy and you don't want to be out there preaching to people. But faith leads you in the decisions you make. You don't always pick the right path but it's there in your conscience.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Testing leads to failure and failure leads to understanding.

Success breeds success and failure leads to a sort of fallow period.

The difference between a beautifully made failure and a beautifully made hit is who you've got playing the leads.

No characters in 'Stay Close ' including the leads are black and white. I want them to be grey. I think that makes for a much more interesting reading experience something that will stay with you a little bit longer.

You can't leave out half the world's experience and expect to address all the problems. Women communicate differently and process information differently which leads them to resolve conflicts differently.

In my experience lust only ever leads to misery. All that suspicion and jealousy and anguish it unleashes. I don't want those things in my life.

Equality rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences wrongly understood as it has been so tragically in our time it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.

I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given is our society. Your education and your mother and father they tell you this is how it is but then you hit adolescence and you think 'Is it? Why? Why is it like that?' Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.

I have maintained a passionate interest in education which leads me occasionally to make foolish and ill-considered remarks alleging that not everything is well in our schools.

Realizing that the majority of kids that get molested feel that it is their fault along with shame those kids have no idea what to say or do to try to report anything and add that with the lack of education it is a complete recipe for disaster that leads to non-reporting of molestation.

I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon.

Learning is a result of listening which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words to learn from the child we must have empathy and empathy grows as we learn.

When I was younger I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something which never leads to anything except death where everything leads to. And then as I got older and then I had my kids and everything I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.

An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

I look at my little girl and I wonder what she's going to be and what she's going to do and what is it that leads girls certain directions in life. I think a lot of that goes back to what kind of father they had and so it makes me want to be the best dad I can possibly be.

It has been my honor to support and work with President Barack Obama a man who has brought courage and character to the presidency. President Obama's strength of character leads him to do the right thing even when it isn't the easy thing.

Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.

Communication leads to community that is to understanding intimacy and mutual valuing.
