sports war killing
Sports is like a war without the killing.
climbing imagination mountain
I fantasize about everything; being a fireman, an Indian chief, climbing mountains. Anything is possible.
men littles butlers
Every man sees a little of himself in Rhett Butler.
moving mean milk
I mean, there's no point in sittin' around and cryin' about spilt milk. Gotta move on.
country war goal
The U.N. had such lofty goals to eliminate poverty and stop war and cure diseases and help refugees - things that no one country could do.
sports war news
I thought, between sports and news and television and friendship, that you could end the Cold War and, by God, we did.
would-be nuclear target
If the Russian nuclear arsenal was fired at the United States and other targets, and we fired back at them with thousands of nuclear weapons, it would be the end of life on earth.
two hair religion
Basically we are chimpanzees with about two percent more intelligence and a little less hair.
christian atheism loser
Christians are losers.
children people world
We're too many people; that's why we have global warming...on a voluntary basis, everybody in the world's got to pledge to themselves that one child is it.
mean thinking wings
I'm a very good thinker, but I sometimes grab the wrong word. I say something I didn't think through adequately. I mean, I don't type my speeches, then sit up there and read them off the teleprompter, you know. I wing it.
believe thinking iran
I think we've already voted at the U.N., in the Security Council, to get rid of nuclear weapons. Let's get rid of them. Let's get rid of ours and then Iran will stop, I believe. And so everybody else will, because if everybody doesn't have them, then we're safe, at least safe from a nuclear attack.
party years needs
I'd like to say that right now, in the last few years, the Democrats have been closer - have been more pro-environment. The coal industry is pretty well entrenched in the Republican Party and that's one of the things that we need to phase out.
selfish giving charity
The more good I do, the more money has come in. You have to learn to give. You're not born to give. You're born selfish.
