Pastoral Resources

But the development of human society does not go straight forward; and the epic process will therefore be a recurring process, the series a recurring series - though not in exact repetition.

In my experience, problems most frequently arise from those who report for television, with little field experience in your area but an insatiable appetite for a sound bite.

You can mark in desire the rising of the tide, as the appetite more and more invades the personality, appealing, as it does, not merely to the sensory side of the self, but to its ideal components as well.

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

Some people say that practice makes perfect but I just feel that the repetition works against me and I start thinking too far ahead during a show.

Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great.

The Beatles had just come out, and everybody had a band. It was incredible competition out there.

The only competition worthy of a wise man is with himself.

Laziness has become the chief characteristic of journalism, displacing incompetence.

Repetition makes reputation and reputation makes customers.

It was a natural process, because when we go to the ring we are human beings, but once you feel the punches and the competition that's when the beast comes out and takes hold of us.

I was gaining weight very rapidly and read about the idea of restricting carbohydrates as an alternative to going hungry. I had a big appetite, so that was the only thing I would even consider.

The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition.

It is true I gained muscular vigour, but with it a prodigious appetite, which I was compelled to indulge, and consequently increased in weight, until my kind old friend advised me to forsake the exercise.

I think the touchstone is to give consumers a full, fair choice without the power of a monopoly operating system pushing them in a direction that free competition might or might not achieve.

The bastard form of mass culture is humiliated repetition... always new books, new programs, new films, news items, but always the same meaning.

To me many short poems read and write like beginnings that simply whet my appetite; I want to get over that.

For four years, I listened to stories of intelligence failures, and it wasn't due to incompetence of anyone in the system, but that the system is so arcane.

But the technology was accessible, which suggests incompetence on the part of our counterintelligence community and the Clinton Administration, and may in fact rise to the level of treason.

They will come to learn in the end, at their own expense, that it is better to endure competition for rich customers than to be invested with monopoly over impoverished customers.
