Pastoral Resources

Well, I think first of all there was a failure to have real, clear information at our disposal. There was a real lack of situational awareness. We didn't have the capabilities on the ground to give us real-time, accurate assessments of the physical condition of the city.

A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.

Our technology is very scalable. Our software can accommodate enormous numbers of clients. It's a marvelous opportunity. We'll keep developing products.

Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.

Probably the most useful thing I can do as secretary of state is to assist the president in adapting and renewing the transnational institutions that were created after World War II.

Honor is the reward of virtue.

'Authoring tools' are terrible; there is almost no software that can create closed captions for media players. And of course there is no training. TV captioning is bad enough, and this stuff is generally worse.

The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy.

Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading manuals without the software.

See, the SAG awards caught me totally by surprise.

I'm heartened by the growing awareness of global warming among important communities and organizations in our nation.

I am not accustomed to pay fulsome compliments to the English, by telling them that they are superior to all the world; but this I can say, that they do not deserve the name of cowards.

The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.

When a human being becomes so still that they begin to lose awareness of their gender, and they are simply looking into that abyss where there is no notion of self whatsoever, the world disappears. And that's really the only place to go. It's the only place to remain.

A lot of people in spiritual life use the awareness of difference, and the spiritual glorification of difference, as a justification to indulge in that which is ultimately unreal.

I want everybody who is watching to come to the Academy Awards with us. I'm going to pay for the bus.

You don't reward reaction; you reward results.

I don't like to sit and bask in my own awards. Awards represent artistic death to me.

There is no significant man-made Global Warming underway and the science on which the computer projections of weather chaos are based is badly flawed.

Roger Revelle died of a heart attack three months after the Cosmos story was printed. Oh, how I wish he were still alive today. He might be able to stop this scientific silliness and end the global warming scam. He might well stand beside me as a global warming denier.
