The U.S. Geological Survey have responsibility for the entire world; they just don't have the density of stations they need ... to precisely locate small activity.

In the area of national security, I urge the swift passage of an anti-terrorism law that will protect rather than subvert, enhance rather than weaken, the rights and liberties that terrorism precisely threatens with extinction.

In the life of children there are two very clear-cut phases, before and after puberty. Before puberty the child's personality has not yet formed and it is easier to guide its life and make it acquire specific habits of order, discipline, and work: after puberty the personality develops impetuously and all extraneous intervention becomes odious, tyrannical, insufferable. Now it so happens that parents feel the responsibility towards their children precisely during this second period, when it is too late: then of course the stick and violence enter the scene and yield very few results indeed. Why not instead take an interest in the child during the first period?

But I think the emotion factor is still there and it is precisely what makes sports sponsorship so powerful. There's nothing that gets people as involved as sport.

Chinese society puts the public good ahead of individual rights and benefits. China has been able to rapidly develop precisely because the government doesn't need or want a consensus among the public, durable or otherwise. If it wanted to build an airport or highway to spur growth, the government did it. It certainly didn't ask those being displaced if it was O.K.

No-tech tourism is a form of temporal eco-tourism in which one reads books or watches film and TV precisely because of the absence of 21st-century technologies.

In addition to having 50 percent higher power density than previous generation products, this new breed of switching power supplies uses integrated digital capabilities to provide smart communication and programmable control features that will enable designers to precisely fine tune power for their needs throughout the development process. The easy-to-use microprocessor interface allows designers to make adjustments to a host of parameters including voltage, current, fan speed, sequencing, power factor correction, inrush and more. In spite of the advanced feature set, designers should find that this new digital generation of intelligent switching power supplies will be price competitive with existing technology.

And then, what is the spiritual being that does not know its Sacred Self? But knowing it means to refer to non-Knowledge and be an Image from the non-Knowledge as well.Then I ask again: what is the spiritual being that does not refer its Sacred Self to non-Knowledge? Is it the Spiritual Being that no longer is an image of its own destiny in non-Knowledge? Is this being truly spiritual when the Absolute Truth of Knowledge consists precisely of non-Knowledge? Or in not knowing it?

The U.N. guards the vital principles entrenched in its charter, notably the sovereign equality of states and the inadmissibility of interference in their internal affairs. It is precisely because the U.N. is the chief guardian of both these sacrosanct principles that it alone is allowed to approve derogations from them.

Foreign investors tend to be worried when there is talk of impeachment because they don't always understand our system. That is important because it was precisely Europe that contributed heavily to buying in the U.S. I don't know if they are selling right now necessarily, but it's a pretty good bet that they are not buying.

It is this negligence and indifference by the two departments that has precisely emboldened the oil firms to freely increase their prices, often in concert, as if they were operating like a cartel, at the expense of consumers.

Because advertising and marketing is an art, the solution to each new problem or challenge should begin with a blank canvas and an open mind, not with the nervous borrowings of other people's mediocrities. That's precisely what 'trends' are - a search for something 'safe' - and why a reliance on them leads to oblivion.

A Muslim friend of mine who has just read the book points out to me that Islam retains a similar duality over paradise. In paradise the righteous are rewarded with precisely what is forbidden on earth.

Among tech-minded kids, I think Alan Turing was a tremendous inspiration. He was a guy that was so different than the people around him. He was an outsider in his own time, but because he was an outsider is precisely why he was able to accomplish things nobody thought was possible.

A month ago the markets would have interpreted getting rid of measured as meaning that a 50 basis point hike was possible. Now the market won't know if it would mean no change, another quarter-point move, or a 50 point hike is next and that's precisely why the Fed should take it out,

The jargon of these sculptors is beyond me. I do not know precisely why I admire a green granite female, apparently pregnant monster with one eye going around a square corner.

Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason.

I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed''.

His wardrobe was extensive--very extensive--not strictly classical perhaps, not quite new, nor did it contain any one garment made precisely after the fashion of any age or time, but everything was more or less spangled; and what can be prettier than spangles!

It came into him life, it went out from him truth. It came to him short-lived actions; it went from him poetry. It was a dead fact; now, it is quick thought. It can stand, and it can go. It now endures, it now flies, it now inspires. Precisely in porportion to the depth of mind from which it issued, so high does it soar, so long does it live.
