Today because of President Obama's courage kids can stay on their parent's plan until they are 26. Insurers cannot kick you off your policy because you have hit your limit. They will not be able to deny you because you have a pre-existing condition.
You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.
As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.
One isn't necessarily born with courage but one is born with potential. Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind true merciful generous or honest.
History despite its wrenching pain cannot be unlived but if faced with courage need not be lived again.
We gain strength and courage and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
L.A.'s cool I had a run with it to where it just pretty much wore me out. I love the weather and I have great friends there great family but I really cannot take a lot of the culture. Like Nashville where everybody's a songwriter everybody out there is an actor.
I shall suggest on the contrary that all communication relies to a noticeable extent on evoking knowledge that we cannot tell and that all our knowledge of mental processes like feelings or conscious intellectual activities is based on a knowledge which we cannot tell.
I don't understand why people whose entire lives or their corporate success depends on communication and yet they are led on occasion by CEOs who cannot talk their way out of a paper bag and don't care to.
Pure truth cannot be assimilated by the crowd it must be communicated by contagion.
Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.
Much can and must be done by governments but they cannot of themselves change lives.
Governments cannot make marriages or turn feckless individuals into responsible citizens. That needs another kind of change agent.
Worry is a useless mulling over of things we cannot change.
One of the most important things that I did to turn my life around was to realize and to accept that from this minute that's all we have. Everything that happened behind us we cannot change so you might as well look to the future.
When the fabric of society is so rigid that it cannot change quickly enough adjustments are achieved by social unrest and revolutions.
