I have a lot of good people in my actual life, but I will say that it's a strange time that we live in - it's easy to make friends and to make connections through social media, and if you're a good-hearted person, sometimes you can just assume people are who they say they are, and that isn't always the case, which is why 'Catfish' is successful.

The logical thing would be to assume that they're going to proceed as if Ray were there.

William Holmes

Tom Reillys case to the people of Massachusetts does not rest on where he stands on one particular issue or another.

Brian Tracy

Aiden Wilson Tozer

God will not hold us responsible to understand the mysteries of election, predestination, and the divine sovereignty. The best and safest way to deal with these truths is to raise our eyes to God and in deepest reverence say, "0 Lord, Thou knowest." Those things belong to the deep and mysterious Profound of God's omniscience. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints.

They were natural and real."

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared.

With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

Mary Andrews

With today's FDA approval, we are happy to know that there is a new treatment option for children suffering from short stature caused by severe Primary IGFD.

Ernest Hemingway

Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing.

For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.

Much of the conventional analysis of India's stature in the world relies on the all-too-familiar economic assumptions.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

Andy Reid

We're going to see how he does here in the next couple of days and how it reacts to treatment. It's that same type of pain that he's had. It's going to flare up. It's done that throughout his career and it's going to continue to do that. We just have to monitor it and see how he does.

Bryan Hilferty

We're going to operate simultaneously throughout the entire eastern and southern part of the country so we get inside the decision cycle; so we hit them before they can hit innocent men, women and children,

Anthony Zinni

We grow up in a culture where accountability, learning to accept responsibility, admitting mistakes and learning from them was critical to us. When we don't see that happening it worries us. Poor military judgment has been used throughout this mission.

John Whisenant

We got whipped. We were not active, alert, intense like we have been throughout the playoffs. Our defensive system only works with great intensity.

Billy Graham

We've always needed God from the very beginning of this nation but today we need Him especially. We're facing a new kind of enemy. We're involved in a new kind of warfare and we need the help of the Spirit of God. The Bible's words are our hope. . . .

Todd Walker

When it comes down to who's playing second, it's going to be their own opinion. I can't put words in anybody's mouth. It's whatever they want. I just have to make it tough on them, to do the best I can this month.

Lonnie Nasatir

When we got word she was placed on the commission as a representative of the Nation of Islam, we were clearly concerned. This is a body aimed at eradicating hate. In Mr. Farrakhan's words over the years, he's actually espoused hate.

Mike Downs

We wrote several key words on the blackboard before the game, but the most important one was 'confidence. It's confidence in their shooting. I told the kids that they're the best shooting team in the state of Washington. They showed that in the first half.

Mahmud Abbas

We reject these words and we do not accept what Sharon said yesterday. No one has any right to cancel issues from negotiations between us and them.
