Pastoral Resources

I even believe in helping an employer function more productively. For then, we will have a claim to higher wages, shorter hours, and greater participation in the benefits of running a smooth industrial machine.

Our record number of teenagers must become our record number of high school and college graduates and our record number of teachers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, and skilled professionals.

The chief virtue that language can have is clearness, and nothing detracts from it so much as the use of unfamiliar words.

I'm not any good at foul language or anything like that.

Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.

Language is an archaeological vehicle... the language we speak is a whole palimpsest of human effort and history.

After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?

The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman's aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.

Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house, the marriage and, sometimes, what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: I do my half. I do half of his half, and the rest doesn't get done.

Language was a huge expansion of that capacity to deal with information.

My language is what I use, and if I lost that, I wouldn't be able to say anything.

The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.

Never impose your language on people you wish to reach.

I don't really read as much as I used to. A lot of what I was looking for as an escape I find in writing. And the other thing is that I don't want to get into someone else's language when I'm working.

We should wage war not to win war, but to win peace.

I learned English, my sixth language at this point, quite quickly.

I decided he'd changed so much that a whole new book was required and that book actually I can say so was the first to say that the marriage was in trouble and the Prince didn't like at all and my book was being serialized in the Sunday Times over five weeks.

It is Basic Management 101 that if you reward failure you are going to get more failure, and if you want success you should reward success. But if you look at the way this administration has approached national security, they have kind of got that principle backwards.

I'm not trying to stump anybody... it's the beauty of the language that I'm interested in.

We live by encouragement and die without it - slowly, sadly, angrily.
