So, then it goes away as long as he signs a non-disclosure act agreement and so on and so forth.

Charles EisensteinWe were able to conclude a Paris climate agreement, which will lead the way for the rest of the world, which is groundbreaking.

Don WilliamsI should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state. My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustainโespecially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a Jewish state.

C. S. LewisCommitment is making a choice to follow through or to honor. Engagement and guarantee - we all love guarantees in life.

Ian SomerhalderThe report also said that there wasn't agreement among the 17 agencies. When the FBI came out - they came out - when there was a conclusion on the DNC, their conclusion was very clear and they made it public. Now, if the CIA or whoever else comes out.

Ninian SmartMoney is only important in a society when certain resources for survival must be rationed and the people accept money as an exchange medium for the scarce resources.

Mitchell ReissPolitics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement. No sound ought to be heard in the church but the healing voice of Christian charity.
