Men enter local politics solely as a result of being unhappily married.

We live in a stage of politics where legislators seem to regard the passage of laws as much more important than the results of their enforcement.

I think things changed as a result of a certain perception of our politics. When we went through our zealous self-righteous period it didn't exactly win us any friends.

I think that politics could be a positive thing. My beef is that people focus on the personal aspect of a politician too much. They should focus on the results.

We recognise in the finished art which is the result of these conditions the best words in the best order - poetry and to put this essential poetry into different classes is impossible.

Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.

No poem is easily grasped so why should any reader expect fast results?

Some people suggest that the problem is the separation of powers. If you had a parliamentary system the struggle for power would not result in such complex peace treaties that empower so many different people to pursue so many contradictory aims.

The point of departure of the process to which we wish to contribute is the fact that war is the natural reaction of human nature in the savage state while peace is the result of acquired characteristics.

And I have lived since - as you have - in a period of cold war during which we have ensured by our achievements in the science and technology of destruction that a third act in this tragedy of war will result in the peace of extinction.

I say that to my colleagues by the way in the internal Cabinet meetings I say 'Look I want to be very clear about what I want.' I just - I don't want a peace process I want a peace result.

Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct.

Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I did not deliberately abandon my fans nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities.

Good breeding is the result of good sense some good nature and a little self-denial for the sake of others.

The most beautiful as well as the most ugly inclinations of man are not part of a fixed biologically given human nature but result from the social process which creates man.

We didn't care if we were well-liked as long as the movies were good. We served the movie - that was our master at Miramax. In our second incarnation the movie is still the master but we're getting the same results in more subtle ways.

When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget.
