“Whether there are innately female leadership styles... is not really the right question. It is more important to ask why there has been so little attention paid to women leaders over the years as well as why the styles of leading more often exhibited by women are particularly useful at this critical moment in history.” YearsWellsLittlesHas BeensImportantMomentsAsksAttentionLeaderStyleFemalePaidCriticalRight QuestionsWoman LeaderCritical MomentsLeadership Style Author:Charlotte Bunch

“Foreign policy commands attention when it's crisis management. A street revolt breaks out in Egypt or Libya or Kiev and everyone asks, how should the president respond? Now these are important parts of America's role in the world, but they are essentially reactive and tactical.

“Since you are "in the market," you need to set standards of what you are seeking in a partner and in a relationship. Dating is not simply a prelude to a committed relationship or marriage. Dating is an opportunity to evaluate whether the person you are dating is a good candidate for you. You need to pay attention to your partner's positive and negative characteristics. Ask yourself whether you could live with this person for the rest of your life.” NeedsPersonsAsksOpportunityPayAttentionStandardsNegativeDatingCommittedSeekingPartnersPay AttentionCharacteristicsCandidatesRest Of Your LifeEvaluatePreludeCommitted Relationship Author:David Price
“My father would sit and design furniture and cabinets - he was a carpenter and cabinet maker - and I would ask for my own piece of paper and pencil.

“People ask, 'Is the science going to run ahead of the ethics?' I don't think that's always the problem. I think it's that the science runs ahead of the politics. Bioethics can alert people to something coming down the road, but it doesn't mean policy and politicians are going to pay attention. They tend to respond when there's an immediate crisis. The job of the ethicist, in some ways, is to warn or be prophetic.

“Love enters the heart unawares: takes precedence of all the emotions--or, at least, will be second to none--and even reflection becomes its accomplice. While it lives, it renders blind; and when it has struck its roots deep only itself can shake them. It reminds one of hospitality as practiced among the ancients. The stranger was received upon the threshold of the half-open door, and introduced into the sanctuary reserved for the Penates. Not until every attention had been lavished upon him did the host ask his name; and the question was sometimes deferred till the very moment of departure.” LoveHeartSometimesMomentsAsksNamesEmotionAttentionHalfDoorsReflectionRootsBlindStrangerShakesHostHospitalitySanctuaryReservedThresholdDeparturePrecedenceAccomplices Author:Sophie Swetchine
