France on its own cannot impose its point of view. But neither should it give up on its demands. With a clear vote for change France will be in a strong position.
The government's position was that we have frigates that have got a useful life until 2006. There is no necessity for us to make final decisions until 2002.
My position is that it isn't government's job to mandate patriotism. To me, mandating a pledge of allegiance to a government is something Saddam Hussein would do.
After I'd hit a home run and took my position in the field, the fans in the bleachers began throwing packages of tobacco at me. I stuffed them in my pocket.
One of my key realizations about happiness, and a point oddly under-emphasized by positive psychologists, given its emphasis in popular culture, is that outer order contributes to inner calm. More than it should.
Hopefully I'm a role model for positive change for everyone - not just women. It's very important to find balance between men and women.
I turn my negatives into my positives because one of my mottos is, 'Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery,' meaning that you can't go back and change anything in the past.
It can literally change someone's life; it's very positive for young teenagers to get into cosplay if they do it with their friends or with supervision from their parents - it can really foster their social skills.

Playing the running back position, your legs, that's your living, that's how you make your living. You have to have great thighs, knees, everything.
As an actor, you know, I love not being pigeonholed, which is great. No one really knows who I am. So that's a positive.
The most pressing ethical question is to make sure that everything you do from a scientific standpoint is done for the ultimate good and positive issue for the people that you're caring about.
I believe that, by and large, people are good and everybody you meet is more likely to surprise you in a positive way than in a negative way.

Every day Catholics prove that you can be a good Catholic and a good Democrat and have a different position from the Church on abortion.
I realize myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use.
