Pastoral Resources

There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.

The battle for women's rights has been largely won.

I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.

I don't know if I can live on my income or not - the government won't let me try it.

An orator without judgment is a horse without a bridle.

Countries and states which have capital punishment have a much higher rate of murder and crime than countries that do not, so that makes sense to me, and the moral question - I struggle with it morally.

I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled.

There are probably more annoying things than being hectored about African development by a wealthy Irish rock star in a cowboy hat, but I can't think of one at the moment.

We look for opportunities to play together including basketball, tennis, swimming, riding bikes and touch football. I try to provide a loving environment where we can play. I think that's good on so many levels - emotionally, for family interactions and, of course, physically.

And if I have a strong point, it's that I like to believe it's not cheap or schmaltzy sentimentality.

I went on all over the States, ranting poems to enthusiastic audiences that, the week before, had been equally enthusiastic about lectures on Railway Development or the Modern Turkish Essay.

It's time for women to make their voices heard. Their silence on the subject of war and peace is deafening.

There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs.

It's fascinating for us women to begin looking at our lives in five-year plans. It really does help you keep on track. If that's too hard, start with a two-year plan.

It's because it was at a time when women didn't have any power. It was so unusual for a young woman in her 20s to have power that I seized the power but tried not to flaunt it.

We are a research center and treatment facility all under one roof.

Today, all patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude's are treated without regard for the family's ability to pay. Everything beyond what is covered by insurance is taken care of, and for those without insurance, all of the medical costs are absorbed by the hospital.

The Golden Girls certainly proved that there was a large audience for a show about older women.

Government has a legitimate function, but the private sector has one too, and it is superior. In other words, people are better than institutions.

Sometimes people need a kick in the pants to get them to do what they would be doing if government weren't there as a perpetual parent.
