Creation, to me, is to try to orchestrate the universe to understand what surrounds us. Even if, to accomplish that, we use all sorts of strategems which in the end prove completely incapable of staving off chaos.
Men who use terrorism as a means to power, rule by terror once they are in power.
We have perfected our weapons but failed to perfect the men who use them.
One uses power by grasping it lightly. To grasp too strongly is to be taken over by power, and thus to become its victim.
The rule, acknowledged or not, seems to be that if we have great power we must use it. We would use a steam shovel to pick up a dime. We have experts who can prove there is no other way to do it.
Idolatry is when you worship what you should use, and use what you should worship.
You know, Mr. Webb, you have two commands you use with irritating frequency. 'Move' and 'Let's go.
It's necessary to use suffering. Otherwise, one is used by it.
I call upon all of you to wage a second American nonviolent revolution, to use civil disobedience, and to demand that this president leave town, to get up, to put the Quran down, to get up off his knees, and to figuratively come out with his hands up.
I like to use the hard times of the past to motivate me today.
Anyone with great imagination, of course, is intuitive. Knowledge of any nature, unless put into practical use, becomes of little effect.
The problem we were struggling with within the closed market was what the incentive would be. You probably wouldn't use dollars. But those are all questions that need to be explored.
By increasing the use of renewable fuels such as ethanol and bio-diesel, and providing the Department of Energy with a budget to create more energy efficiency options, agriculture can be the backbone of our energy supply as well.
Christ delves far beyond the means of superficiality, not simply because of his immaculate love, but also because he considers the distinct cases of each individual rather than withholding a broadened perception by use of stereotypes.
Nature has placed his own happiness in each man's hands, if he only knew how to use it.
I'm not at my best when I moralize or philosophize. Logic is elusive, especially to one who so rarely uses it.
Theology is like a map. Merely learning and thinking about the Christian doctrines, if you stop there, is less real and less exciting than the sort of thing my friend got in the desert. Doctrines are not God: they are only a kind of map. But that map is based on the experience of hundreds of people who really were in touch with God--experiences compared with which many thrills of pious feelings you and I are likely to get on our own are very elementary and very confused. And secondly, if you want to get any further you must use the map.
I can't manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies. I often make use of them.
You have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.
Let me put it more precisely: The ability to give birth is a natural characteristic. In the same way, everybody can grasp philosophical truths if they just use their innate reason.
