I am a veteran of the War on Christmas. I am just emerging from a battlefield strewn with dead trees and torn shreds of brightly colored wrapping paper.
When I am there at our global product development centers, I am meeting with the design team and reviewing design work being done there and meeting with engineers responsible for work being done specific to that region, meeting with purchasing team.
I am a firm believer in education and have worked very hard to tell young Latinos that they must go to college and that, if possible, they should pursue an advanced degree. I am convinced that education is the great equalizer.
Insofar as the church fails to do the will of God, I am called upon to help it discover and to do the will of God; and I am called upon to help the government to do the same.
People have this idea that the more pious and devout I am, the more successful I am. Which is very dangerous. If you look at faith in that way, you're bound to fail at both - spiritually and in your career.
What is important for me is playing cricket and not thinking about how my Test career is shaping up. I am not into future planning and all. I am concerned about my present and not the future.
I am not a Christian because God changed my life; I am a Christian because of my convictions about who Jesus Christ is.
Whether the angels play only Bach praising God, I am not quite sure. I am sure, however, that en famille they play Mozart.
I am proud of the President's leadership. I am proud to support him in saying: Yes, we are going to do what is necessary now when it is less painful and less expensive.

I asked God for decades "Who am i?" he finally answered: To know who you are, you must first realise what you are.
I've always been big. I'm never going to be an underwear model. But I am who I am, and that has its advantages and disadvantages.
I'm determined not to lose my name. It's who I am. It has neither aided my progress nor hampered it. It's just who I am.
Who am I, if I'm not this singer with big high notes? I identify with my voice. But I'm more than just the acrobatics.
One concept corrupts and confuses the others. I am not speaking of the Evil whose limited sphere is ethics; I am speaking of the infinite.
By letting go of the past with love and gratitude, I am creating beautiful memories, which are living in me, but I am living at present not in memories.
The thing is, I am a loving person. I am super sappy when it comes to romance. But I'm not the Antonio Banderas, swashbuckling, Pierce Brosnan, smooth-talking type.
I am the world's worst reporter. I am apt to try too hard to help rather than just document my subjects.
They say curiosity killed the cat but I am unconcerned. I am smarter, though slightly less evil, than any cat.
There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.
