In a country authored and sustained by criminal irresponsibility.

In a costume, you need very exaggerated body language -- as you say, sort of mime-type skills.

In a corporation, there can only be one guy in the end: the CEO.

In a cornball way, I think being a celebrity is about making a difference, too.

In a cool medium, the audience is an active constituent of the viewing or listening experience. A girl wearing open-mesh silk stockings or glasses is inherently cool and sensual because the eye acts as a surrogate hand in filling in the low-definition image thus engendered. Which is why boys make passes at girls who wear glasses.

In a conversation with someone sharing gossip, the introvert's eyes glaze over and his brow furrows as he tries to comprehend how this conversation could interest anyone. This is not because the introvert is morally superior--he just doesn't get it. As we've discussed, introverts are energized and excited by ideas. Simply talking about people, what they do and who they know, is noise for the introvert. He'll be looking between the lines for some meaning, and this can be hard work! Before long, he'll be looking for a way out of the conversation.

In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for truth and have begun striving for ourselves.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

In a contest with a weaker party it is more honorable to yield than to force concession. Magnanimity becomes the strong.

In a contest between new technology and old ways of life, it is the traditional rhythms that will hold. Traditional societies make up more than two-thirds of the world, the two-thirds that will not be going online to save time but will remain wedded to the knowledge that if the bus doesn't come that day, it will come someday. After all, there is nothing but time.

In a contest between me and a bulldog, you would say the bulldog is cuter.

In a consumer society, people wallow in things, fascinating, enjoyable things. If you define your value by the things you acquire and surround yourself with, being excluded is humiliating.

In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy.

In a constitutionally ordered state, where laws are derived from broad principles of right and wrong and where those principles are enshrined and protected by agreed upon procedures and practices, it can never be in the long-term interest of the state or its citizens to flout those procedures at home or associate too closely overseas with the enemies of your founding ideals.

In a constitutional democracy the moral content of law must be given by the morality of the framer or legislator, never by the morality of the judge.

In a confrontational situation, you'll get their gut. And I want their gut! And that's why people watch this show!

In a condition of society and under an industrial organization which places labor completely at the mercy of capital, the accumulations of capital will necessarily be rapid, and an unequal distribution of wealth is at once to be observed.

In a concurrent world, imperative is the wrong default!

In a comprehensive study of all public multiple shooting incidents in America between 1977 and 1999, economists John Lott and Bill Landes found that the only public policy that reduced both the incidence and casualties of such shootings were concealed-carry laws. Not only are there 60 percent fewer gun massacres after states adopt concealed-carry laws, but the death and injury rate of such rampages are reduced by 80 percent.
