You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.
I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation.
Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.
I was elected to come to an incredibly dysfunctional capital and make the government work better, and that's what I'm doing.
Part of being innovative in government is sometimes not trying to plot out the last chapter of the book, but to be open and see what comes back.
I've always been fond of the saying that when it comes to oversight and reform, the federal government does two things well: nothing and overreact.
You are right, but the weakness does not come from the millions of Muslims in the world. They do not mind being radical, they have no fear to speak out and to protest and to jihad.
Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning.
Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There's a lot of things that come with fame - it's what people in the limelight have to do.
I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success, talent.
I don't want to be more famous than what I have right now. At least in that sense where people come up to me in the grocery store.
Nobody's going to say hello to me in the street, really, because there'll be someone a bit more famous coming along the street in a minute. That typifies London, really.
Faith has a role to play in life. It is not related to success. It is the other way round. Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human life is faith.
The strange thing about Africa is how past, present and future come together in a kind of rough jazz, if you like.
The man who comes up with a means for doing or producing almost anything better, faster or more economically has his future and his fortune at his fingertips.
It all comes down to interest rates. As an investor, all you're doing is putting up a lump-sump payment for a future cash flow.
I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would.
I think comedy, so much of it comes out of the strange sort of golden instant 'cause you don't know why it's funny, but you captured it.
That is the problem with comedy in India. Spoofing sells. Come up with original comedy about the hilarious nation we are, with funny accents and odd rituals, and we get into trouble.
