Camaraderie doesn't happen by accident; developing a strong sense of trust, accountability, and togetherness around team goals requires intentional effort.

Don Yaeger

I think the way the world has evolved, it's maybe caught up to me. It makes more sense and it makes it click on a larger scale.

Jeremy Scott

Psychological wealth includes life satisfaction, the feeling that life is full of meaning, a sense of engagement in interesting activities, the pursuit of important goals, the experience of positive emotional feelings, and a sense of spirituality that connects people to things larger than themselves.

Ed Diener

When you educate a girl, you kick-start a cycle of success. It makes economic sense. It makes social sense. It makes moral sense. But, it seems, it's not common sense yet.

Queen Rania of Jordan

Across the world, the lack of accountability for the harm to the environment and public health caused by conflict and military activities undermines global efforts to help fragile countries recover from armed conflicts

Widad Akrawi

Things happen. That's what makes us human. But just acceptable and accountability and responsibility - I feel like people in this generation lack accountability, and when you can't accept what you've done or you can't accept that, then you can't heal from it.

Jordyn Woods

Everything is about accountability to the American people, accountability of the executive branch ... [and] accountability of the oversight of the Congress.

Jay Rockefeller

The logical outcome of evolution is that it makes monsters. We turn into monsters because evolution takes away everything that makes us human in the sense of our moral accountability, our moral absolutes, and our idea of being distinct from the animal kingdom.

Thomas Mann

Just as music is noise that makes sense, a painting is colour that makes sense, so a story is life that makes sense.

Yann Martel

The Nazis, for him, are merely available movie tropes--articulate monsters with a talent for sadism. By making the Americans cruel, too, he escapes the customary division of good and evil along national lines, but he escapes any sense of moral accountability as well. In a Tarantino war, everyone commits atrocities. Like all the director's work after 'Jackie Brown,' the movie is pure sensation. It's disconnected from feeling, and an eerie blankness--it's too shallow to be called nihilism--undermines even the best scenes.

David Denby

It is clear that IDEA '97 not only undermines the educational process, it also undermines the authority of educators.

Jeff Sessions

I have a country-boy sense of humor. I come from a poor family, and I have no education. But I am Middle America, and what makes me laugh is what makes them laugh.

Hal Needham
