Confidence is a static state. Determination is active. Determination allows for doubt and for humility - both of which are critical in the world today. There is so much that we don’t know, and so much that we know we don’t know. To be overly confident or without doubt seems silly to me. Determination, on the other hand, is a commitment to win, a commitment to fight the good fight.
Arizona is a red state, and we're going to keep it red.
The state of mind of the photographer creating is a blank. I might add that this condition exists only at special times, namely when looking for pictures. -Something keeps him from falling off curbs, down open manholes, into bumpers of skidding trucks while in this condition but goes off duty at other times. . . . This is a very special kind of blank. A very active state of mind really, it is a very receptive state. . .
Imagine, as realistically as possible, the place where you want to be in the near future, the state you wish to reach and the Universe will help you and guide you
Freedom of Will-that is the expression for the complex state of delight of the person exercising volition, who commands and at the same time identifies himself with the executor of the order-who, as such, enjoys also the triumph over obstacles, but thinks within himself that it was really his own will that overcame them. In this way the person exercising volition adds the feelings of delight of his successful executive instruments, the useful underwills or under-souls-indeed, our body is but a social structure composed of many souls-to his feelings of delight as commander.

If we are in a high enough state of consciousness we see that life is only a passing dream.
My rather puritanical view is that any investment manager, whether operating as broker, investment counselor of a trust department, investment company, etc. , should be willing to state unequivocally what he is going to attempt to accomplish and how he proposes to measure the extent to which he gets the job done.
There's been a growing effort to kick soda out of the schools. And governors as different as Arnold Schwarzenegger in California and Mike Huckabee in Arkansas have worked hard to get soda and junk food out of their state schools, which is good.
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
Man is not made for the State but the State for man and it derives its just powers only from the consent of the governed.
This life is but a dream. A state of sleep but how unfortunate that man's eyes open only when they are about to be closed (forever).
Sure there is none but fears a future state; And when the most obdurate swear they do not, Their trembling hearts belie their boasting tongues.
Civility is the natural state for people who know how limited their own individual powers are and know, too, that they need the conversation.
Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.
The worth of the state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it.
The wall of separation between church and state is a metaphor based on bad history.
I come from the state of Michigan. We were the first English-speaking government in the world to outlaw the death penalty, back in the 1840s. We have never had, as a state, the death penalty in Michigan.

Hypocrisy is a revolting, psychopathic state.
