If we had joined efforts some time ago [with U. S], we could have avoided many problems the world is facing now, I believe.
Global warming is part of natural cycle and there's nothing we can actually do to stop these cycles. The world is now facing spending a vast amount of money in tax to try to solve a problem that doesn't actually exist.
A colleague saw the same model-calibrating the elasticity of demand facing a Cournot oligopolist as a function of the number of firms in the industry--described at the University of Chicago and at M. I. T. A Chicago economist derived the formula and said, "Look at how few firms you need to get close to infinite elasticities and perfect competition. " An M. I. T. economist derived the same formula and said, "Look at how large n has to be before you get anywhere close to an infinite elasticity and perfect competition. "
I remember my emotions the day we watched Nelson Mandela walk out of prison Writing & literature in South Africa during the anti-apartheid years, became a 'cultural weapon. ' You had to use it to fight apartheid & some of us resisted that in the end, you recognize that you are facing a government that has no scruples about using culture & art to oppress you.
Your biggest problem, is that you think the current problem you're facing is your problem
What really matters is not whether we have problems, but how we go through them. We must keep going on to make it through whatever we are facing.
You can't help but. . . with 2020 hindsight, go back and say, 'Look, had we done something different, we probably wouldn't be facing what we are facing today. '
Nothing surprises me anymore. We'll keep doing what we're doing. I'm going to keep going forward with solutions that I want to see applied to this great country, the challenges that we're facing. And things like that [e-mails as governor published] are going to be perhaps a distraction for others. They won't distract me.
Few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change. The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear.
If you could do what I do then you wouldn't be a haterwriter critiquing me, you would be my opponent facing me on the court.
. . . one should never turn to one's left when facing the nagual.
I've noticed from my fans that we hide the things that we are facing.
I'm used to really struggling and facing a hard time to get things going, until I'm comfortable at all with them.
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed - where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.
Facing the difficulties, I can choose either to be a poor victim or a great adventurer.
But courage in fighting is by no means the only form, nor perhaps even the most important. There is courage in facing poverty, courage in facing derision, courage in facing the hostility of one's own herd. In these, the bravest soldiers are often lamentably deficient. And above all there is the courage to think calmly and rationally in the face of danger, and to control the impulse of panic fear or panic rage.
The bleak truth is that, under normal conditions, most of North America and Europe are buried under about 1. 5km of ice. This bitterly frigid climate is interrupted occasionally by brief warm interglacials, typically lasting less than 10,000 years. The interglacial we have enjoyed throughout recorded human history, called the Holocene, began 11,000 years ago, so the ice is overdue, Chapman wrote. All those urging action to curb global warming need to take off the blinkers and give some thought to what we should do if we are facing global cooling instead.
Phillip is the Paul McCartney of our family: better-looking than the rest of us, always facing a different direction in pictures, and occasionally rumored to be dead.
Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.
