I hate this fast growing tendency to chain men to machines in big factories and deprive them of all joy in their efforts - the plan will lead to cheap men and cheap products.

Fires can't be made with dead embers nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.

Mothers - especially single mothers - are heroic in their efforts to raise our nation's children but men must also take responsibility for their children and recognize the impact they have on their families' well-being.

C-17s should be ready to go at various military bases around the world packed with water food medical supplies sleeping bags and tents all prepared to be air dropped in alongside soldiers and doctors to begin relief efforts.

Marriage is a team effort. Both of us share that philosophy.

But marriage goes in waves. You've got to be patient. People bail and give up on their marriages way too early. They just don't put the work and the effort into it. You've got to suck up your ego a lot of times because that can be a big downfall.

It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career marriage requires a joint effort.

There is no force like success and that is why the individual makes all effort to surround himself throughout life with the evidence of it as of the individual so should it be of the nation.

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.

Though every legal task demands this skill it is especially important in the effort to frame public policy in a way that is properly responsive to human needs and predicaments. The question is always: How will the general rule work in practice?

We support every effort to combat international terrorism through the formulation of international conventions and hope that the international community will take further steps to improve the anti-terrorism international legal framework.

The effort to blur the lines between Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib reflects a deep misunderstanding about the different legal regimes that apply to Iraq and the war against al Qaeda.

This was our last stop. This was it. We had those two embryos that we had banked prior to learning about the breast cancer and with the medicine she was on this was our last effort. The prayers were answered.

Most organizations should be pro-active but philanthropists concerned with poverty should deliberately be reactive learning from the efforts of ordinary folks who tired of looking the other way as their communities fell apart.

Leadership is simply the ability of an individual to coalesce the efforts of other individuals toward achieving common goals. It boils down to looking after your people and ensuring that from top to bottom everyone feels part of the team.

In any case decisions on troop levels in the American system of government are not made by any general or set of generals but by the civilian leadership of the war effort.

Leadership is the key to 99 percent of all successful efforts.

Instead of starting a new nuclear arms race now is the time to reclaim our Nation's position of leadership on nuclear nonproliferation efforts.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts their talents their insights their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

Leadership that exploits and sacrifices young people on the altar of its goals is nothing more than raw demonic power. Genuine leadership is found in ceaseless efforts to foster young people to pave the way forward for them.

Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint.

The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature.

If you desire information on some point of law you are not likely to ponder over the ponderous tomes of legal writers in order to obtain the knowledge you seek by your own unaided efforts.

To say 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge.

As a young man I went to Paris and soaked up many hours of film knowledge from Robert Hakim in my efforts to become a producer.

Our Soviet espionage efforts had virtually never or had very seldom produced any worthwhile political or economic intelligence on the Soviet Union.

I found that our Soviet espionage efforts had virtually never or had very seldom produced any worthwhile political or economic intelligence on the Soviet Union.

I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community.

When I came to the CIA in the mid-'90s our graduating class of case officers was unbelievably low. Now after years of rebuilding our training programs and putting our best efforts to recruit the most talented men and women we are graduating more clandestine officers than at any time in the history of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
