It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.

I learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It's a strange truth but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process. It's not something that happens overnight. It's an evolution of the heart.

I invite everyone to chose forgiveness rather than division teamwork over personal ambition.

Forgiveness is about empowering yourself rather than empowering your past.

When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.

How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to say about it all.

When I said a few weeks ago that our people would eat cooking oil and olives if necessary I didn't mean that there really would be only oil and olives. What I meant was that our people have the necessary patience to endure the current difficult situation. Palestinians would rather do without certain food items than their national rights.

We're adults. We're the ones who should teach the kids what's good to eat. I don't think the government should ever regulate what we eat at home but we're feeding them in school with tax dollars. Quite frankly if my tax dollars are being spent to feed kids I'd rather feed them better food.

I'm not really into gourmet food I'm the kind of guy who just stops by a place that looks good rather than heading for the restaurant of the moment.

When I come home from a shoot I'd rather reheat food I've made than eat takeout.

In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect.

Fitness will be a major factor in the first race and I think that will play into the hands of drivers who have been racing recently rather than people like me who haven't raced properly for a decade. I'am not one of the favourites to start with.

Guided only by their feeling for symmetry simplicity and generality and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things creative mathematicians now as in the past are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness.

I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.

Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.

My optimism is not based primarily on the successful march of democracy in recent times but rather is based on the experience of having lived in a fear society and studied the mechanics of tyranny that sustain such a society.
