David Jenkins Quotations

As I get older I seem to believe less and less and yet to believe what I do believe more and more.

No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.

Deep thoughts (come) from a deep well. Society is useful because when we see ourselves reflected through others we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves.

It is unfortunate that some in our party have lost sight of the importance of conservation and environmental protection for keeping America strong, healthy, prosperous, and secure. It's time for all of our Republican leaders to recognize that conservation is conservative.

I am not clear that God manoeuvres physical things? After all, a conjuring trick with bones only proves that it is as clever as a conjuring trick with bones

Fiber has a beneficial effect in preventing colon cancer.

I wouldn't put it past God to arrange a virgin birth if He wanted, but I very much doubt if He would.

I don't know that's it's maybe as well known now as it was in past years, but it really has passed into folk culture. The truth is that Rock City's advertising has overshadowed Rock City itself.

Frankly, Fort Pierce is not regarded, as we say, as the shining city on the coast. Frankly it's had a poor self image. But gradually, I think what's happening is people on the Treasure Coast are moving away from 'Fort Pierce has problems' to 'Oh my God, Fort Pierce has Earth, Wind and Fire.

It costs $55 to $60 to fill this. Normally, you can get around with a half tank. With the prices being so high, you rather settle for a quarter of tank than put in a half tank because it's so expensive.

I think we could stack up. I don't know how it would be to have the whole world looking over your shoulder.

People interested in lowering their cholesterol should probably acquire a taste for tofu and oatmeal.

We played these tunes so many times there's little need to practice, except for the musician's own practice of their instruments.

We have agreed on one thing. I don't have the right to communications shared between him and his client, and he doesn't have the right to communications shared between me and my client (the town).

We believe (the four) have information that is relevant and material to the investigation.

We are particularly pleased that many of them have already warned leadership against trying to put Arctic drilling back into the legislation in conference with the Senate.

This study is exciting because it shows an effective dietary approach to lowering cholesterol isn't as hard or as intimidating as we previously thought.

The participants found it easiest to incorporate single items such as the almonds and margarine into their daily lives. The fiber and vegetable protein were more challenging since they require more planning and preparation and because these types of niche products are less available. It's just easier, for example, to buy a beef burger instead of one made from soy, although the range of options is improving. We considered it ideal if the participants were able to follow the diet three-quarters of the time.

We had to beg, borrow and steal for everything we put in a show.

What we are seeing is a blatant effort to exploit a national tragedy to advance long-held oil and gas industry objectives. I hope that a majority of our Republicans in Congress will see this misguided opportunism for what it is and reject it.

The subject of scars comes up several times. And one of the things that appeals to me is that in the end, there's no promise made that everything's going to be wonderful. There's hope, but there's no promise. You just get the feeling that these people have finally broken through each other's armor.

The study's findings suggest that the average person can do a lot to improve their health through diet. People interested in lowering their cholesterol should probably acquire a taste for tofu and oatmeal, keeping in mind that portable alternatives fit best with a modern lifestyle. Save the experimenting for the evening, when you have more time to prepare more complicated meals.

They tend to be particularly vulnerable to developing central adiposity and inter-abdominal adiposity,

At a time when our party should be providing forward-thinking leadership on energy, it is truly unfortunate that some choose instead to exploit current events and perpetuate America's dangerous dependence on oil. It is time for our Republican leaders to step up and act in the long-term interest of the American people, rather than the short-term interests of the oil and gas industry.

At a time when America must take aggressive steps to reduce oil dependence significantly, the proposal's estimated gasoline savings, less than 1 percent of current consumption, are paltry to the point of irrelevance. This feeble proposal represents failed leadership. It is another troubling sign that the administration refuses to take the dangers of oil dependence seriously. At a time when gasoline prices are skirting $3 per gallon, what will it take for the Bush administration and for Congress to wake up?

It's unfathomable to current skaters. I'm not sure how many of them have been outdoors in their lives.

That's a big thing to watch for. We want people to have a BMI of 25 or less, but if you're black from Africa, you might be able to go up to 27 before we have to worry, ... If you're Caucasian of European background, we'll stick with 25. But if you come from the Orient or the Indian side, we may want you down at 23 before we're satisfied.

Taking a pill may give people the false impression that they have nothing further to do to protect their health and prevent them from making serious lifestyle changes.

It's definitely going to go well beyond one night.

I really like these two people. They're iconic. They're archetypal. They're real, regular people, and the play resonates so much because of that.
