But that is a valid, continuing service that that music - which is, in some cases, 80 or 90 years old - is rendering. And proving its own timelessness.

Dwight Yoakam

There's a whole process of how the U.S. enters into executive agreements, which involves a legal component, a legal analysis of the agreement, as well as a review by executive branch agencies and otherwise.

Brian Deese

Roger Babson

But the whole vital process of the earth takes place so gradually and in periods of time which are so immense compared with the length of our life, that these changes are not observed, and before their course can be recorded from beginning to end whole nations perish and are destroyed.

Aristotle

What has the Cross left in each of us? You see, it gives us a treasure that no one else can give: the certainty of the faithful love which God has for us. A love so great that it enters into our sin and forgives it, enters into our suffering and gives us the strength to bear it. It is a love which enters into death to conquer it and save us.

Pope Francis

The progress of science requires the growth of understanding in both directions, downward from the whole to the parts and upward from the parts to the whole.

Indeed, dogmatic philosophical beliefs of any kind have no place in science.

You see? Characters in books do not read books. Oh, they snap them shut when somebody enters a room, or fling them aside in disgust at what they fancy is said within, or hide their faces in one which they pretend to peruse while somebody else lectures them on matters they'd rather not confront.

This is the infallible message of discovering on which side of the page you are on.

Twyla Tharp

The process of translating comprises in its essence the whole secret of human understanding of the world and of social communication.

Hans-Georg Gadamer

I have a lot of friends who have hula-hoops, it's like a mixture of dance and athletics and exercise, meditation. It's a healthy hobby I think. I can do a few tricks, I can hoop from my neck and shoulders, and I can do a few moves, a few tricks! I can walk through the hoop whilst it's spinning. I feel like there's definitely an interest in promoting the hula-hoop as an important pastime!

Sufjan Stevens

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.

Frank Gehry

Social progress means a checking of the cosmic process at every step and the substitution for it of another, which may be called the ethical process; the end of which is not the survival of those who may happen to be the fittest, in respect of the whole of the conditions which obtain, but of those who are ethically the best.

Thomas Huxley

We think that - that our elections process, which has been in place for many, many years, is a - ensures that we have a fair process in which we have the opportunity to limit fraud. We still have fraudulent claims every single election.

Tate Reeves

Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives, through adolescence, and while they are trying to work out who they are as people, never mind as a dancer. So train the whole person, not just the dancer.
