I believe that you should gravitate to people who are doing productive and positive things with their lives.

Whether one believes or not religion is as real a force in the life of the world as economics or politics and it demands fair-minded attention. Even if you think the entire religious enterprise is at best misguided and at worst counterproductive it remains vital inspiring great good and sometimes great evil.

Politics is the conspiracy of the unproductive but organized against the productive but unorganized.

Sinn Fein has productively taken the example of South Africa and as we develop the peace process we continue to use examples from South Africa.

I don't like to be labeled to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music but it's counter-productive.

When we were doing 'Freaks and Geeks' I didn't quite understand how movies and TV worked and I would improvise even if the camera wasn't on me. I thought I was helping the other actors by keeping them on their toes but nobody appreciated it when I would trip them up. So I was improvising a little bit back then but not in a productive way.

The bill would ban human cloning and any attempts at human cloning for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.

I did know Ted Hughes and I partly wrote the book to explain to myself and others the complexities of a marriage that was for six years wonderfully productive of poetry and then ended in tragedy.

I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.

Even those who like me believe that Roe v. Wade and the decisions elaborating on reproductive rights were constitutionally correct must recognize that for many on the right the sudden and relatively sloppily reasoned character of the abortion rulings... did real damage to the Court's reputation as a relatively neutral arbiter of legal disputes.

Whatever the medium there is the difficulty challenge fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials.

I hope to make a positive productive contribution as cheesy as that may sound.

I told the President I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them they are not going to sit down and talk.

In motivating people you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people I hope by example - and perhaps by excitement by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.

Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating honorable and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.

Everyone knows that exercise can improve your health. Exercise is a key part of managing your weight and maintaining healthy hearts lungs and other bodily systems. But did you know that exercise can make you more productive? The latest research shows that a regular exercise routine can make you happier smarter and more energetic.

Well you know my number one cause has always been that women's reproductive health needs to be protected.
