“I want to humbly suggest that you be the guardians of a more complicated truth: that the means are as important-and sometimes even more important-than the ends.”

In the 17 years since I graduated from this great College of Law, I have seen that, for many of us, it becomes increasingly easy to rationalize our actions in the name of expediency when facing difficult decisions-to choose a path where the ends justify the means.

Just because you think the path that’s right for you might be lonelier, longer or less destined for traditional success than paths taken by others, don’t be afraid to take it. If you choose your means well you will end up in the right place.

No music can fill the gaping void … at least in my experience only faith. Only faith.

I certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.

Everything I’ve been thinking, every vision, even down to every shot I throw, it just ends up here in reality.

Often it is the means that justify the ends: goals advance technique and technique survives even when goal structures crumble.

The album ended up being something not directly related to Asimov, but related instead to the concept of the power of robotics.

When we get to the end of ourselves, we get to the beginning of God.

We may end up with a world based more on equity than debt, or more on market debt instruments than bank intermediation; but how and why we get there is a mystery.

Like the idea that every night might be the night before the world ends.

Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end.
