The military might of a country represents its national strength. Only when it builds up its military might in every way can it develop into a thriving country.

It's a wonderful side effect of what we're doing to give someone the strength to come out of the closet to their family or simply present themselves aesthetically in a way they feel happy with whether or not their friends are going to be allowed to like them anymore.

If the label presents them with a contract that the band don't want to sign all the label has to do is wait. There are a hundred other bands willing to sign the exact same contract so the label is in a position of strength.

And partly the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.

We are still keeping as much as we can to the one million commitment that we made hoping that at a certain point in time the headwinds represented by the strength of the yen will be a little bit less strong.

Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.

I think it's great that we have organisations like Greenpeace. In a pluralistic society we want to have people who point out all the problems that the Earth could encounter. But we need to understand that they are not presenting a full and rounded view.

Drama lives on conflict. If you're trying to deal with social issues seriously there's no way of avoiding violence which is so present in society.

Even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations.

There is only one way left to escape the alienation of present day society: to retreat ahead of it.

I would argue that we have a generation of young people particularly minorities who are no longer putting up with the kinds of things their parents put up with. They're much more self-confident. It's no longer acceptable to make fun of people because of race or sex. But it has always been present in American society.

When you come in to court as a plaintiff or as a defendant it is terribly important that you look up at the bench and feel that that person represents you and will understand you that that person is reflective of our community and of our society.
