Affects Quotes
The results were very encouraging. But further research needs to be done using a larger number of people and testing them multiple times. We also need to examine their brains both before and after learning to meditate. Our group is currently planning to do this. Eventually, such research should reveal more about the function of the thickening; that is, how it affects emotions and knowing in terms of both awareness and judgment.

Ethics Quotes
The standard that a society should actually embody its own professed principles is a utopian one, in the sense that moral principles contradict the way things really are --- and always will be. How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.

Active Quotes

Art Quotes
So you might say, 'Why do you end up making theatre in a world in which there is already too much of that? Creating layer upon layer of artifice?' Perhaps the function is to pierce through that cloud and show reality - so the function of art is to make things - to show: 'Hang on, this is real.'

Advance Quotes
The moral authority of the United States depends on its working effectively with other countries to advance human rights protection ? not blocking a consensus proposal that makes so much progress for human rights.

Budget Quotes
There's a need to do this as a means of increasing citizen participation in our budget process. Obviously, what the township spends and what we're taking in are issues that are near and dear to all of us since we all pay taxes and no one wants to pay more taxes. And we all want to find the most economic way to function in the township while providing a high level of service.

Accord Quotes
At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.

To my way of thinking, an actors course is set even before hes out of the cradle.

Based Quotes
It's not like you're handing over the security function to the terminal operator. Some time ago, we looked at the major terminal operators in the country, based on the number of containers they handle, and it's interesting that, of the top 20 that show up on the list, of those, only a few of the major ones are American companies.

Extended Quotes
It's the whole function of how you get your money back. You don't just get it from the gate. You get it through extended stays in hotel rooms. People who plan to come when something is new, they'll get them. Now it'll take an extra half-day to see everything, and they'll get that extra night in the hotel.

Basketball Quotes
It's like basketball players being told not to use their arms. Right now all the judge did is he put up a wall. I don't know how they can function with this.

Court Quotes
It's an incredible serve, ... I'm trying to figure out where it is I would need to stand on the court to have the same trajectory. It's not a function of how fast it is because a lot of guys can serve it 135-plus. The trajectory is the main issue because you're lunging, but then it's up. You're sort of diving, but then you can't reach it, even if you dive perfectly and on cue.

Biology Quotes
That just a forcing function though. To really understand the carbon cycle, you have to look at the circulation, biology and chemistry of the oceans where the carbon dioxide goes, the photosynthesis of plants as they breath carbon dioxide, the decomposition of plants, and many other forces.
