The starting point of all great jazz has got to be format, a language that you can work within that, in some ways, is much tighter than the blues or even gospel. It's all working towards the same destination - the difference being that Miles Davis flew there, and I'm still taking the subway.

The starting point of discovering who you are, your gifts, your talents, your dreams, is being comfortable with yourself. Spend time alone. Write in a journal. Take long walks in the woods.
‐‐ Robin S. Sharma
The starting point of my career in money management in 1973-74 was the time of the only true bear market any living non-Japanese investor has seen in major markets. Equities, real estate, you name it, everyone got run over.

‐‐ Frank Chodorov
The state and its elites must be subject, in theory and in practice, to the same laws that its poorest citizens are.
‐‐ Mo Ibrahim

The state can be a force for good. The Rule of law is absolutely essential to a good life. God has instituted government and leaders throughout history and throughout the Biblical narrative. However, the state is growing precisely as the church is fading as a force for good, and this does not seem to be a good trend.
‐‐ Dave Brat

The State Department desperately needs to be vigorously harnessed. It has too big a role to play in the formulation of foreign policy, and foreign policy is too important to be left up to foreign service officers.
‐‐ Evan G. Galbraith
The state dinner is almost a formula, but you try to make it interesting. You try not to overload it with too many political types. You try to get a cross section.
‐‐ Barbara Bush
The state doesn't own your children. Parents own the children.
‐‐ Rand Paul
The State Energy Program, it provides grants to States and directs funding to State energy offices. The States use these grants to address their energy priorities, program funding to adopt emerging renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies.
‐‐ Rosa DeLauro
The State Film Authority will be there for film as industry only, as is the case in all the other states, except Victoria. Victoria is moving more now into supporting non-commercial films.
‐‐ Ann Macbeth
The state has an offensive and defensive role to play as promoter of industrial policies, as regulator and as shareholder.
‐‐ Emmanuel Macron

‐‐ Murray Rothbard
The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.
‐‐ Pierre Trudeau
The state has physical power and uses it when necessary; the power of religion is love and beneficence.

‐‐ Oliver Cromwell
The state is going to be present where it has to be for every Argentine, especially for the neediest of us.
‐‐ Mauricio Macri
The state is in danger of falling into disrepute due to the evidence of its inadequate resources.
‐‐ Jurgen Habermas
The state is not abolished, it withers away.
‐‐ Friedrich Engels
The state is nothing but an instrument of opression of one class by another - no less so in a democratic republic than in a monarchy.
‐‐ Friedrich Engels
The state is obliged to fight corruption within the government.
‐‐ Enrique Pena Nieto
The state is out of control, the state is on a spending binge, the state has to stop putting itself in a hole that's getting deeper and deeper and deeper.
‐‐ Peter Ueberroth
The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.
‐‐ Emma Goldman
The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.

‐‐ Ted Cruz
The state must be the first to be organized and totally committed to serving the interests of the people.
‐‐ Samora Machel
The state must protect the media. In a democracy, the role of media is very important. In the absence of a credible opposition party, you can rely on the media.
‐‐ Rodrigo Duterte
The state of Alabama is serious about economic development, and we have shown that the Mobile region has a skilled workforce that is developing every day, strong infrastructure, and an abundance of natural resources.
‐‐ Bradley Byrne
The state of Alaska has a minimum wage which is higher than the federal level because our state leaders have made that determination.
‐‐ Joe Miller
The state of being in love is so inherently preposterous. It usually lends itself to romantic comedy. I think we've all been there.
‐‐ James Gray
The state of childhood resonates with life inside a fantasy novel. If you have no control over how you spend large chunks of your day, or are at the mercy of flawed giant beings, then the desire to bend the laws of the world by magic is strong and deep.
‐‐ David Mitchell
The state of emergency and critical nature of the times do not allow me, as they do not allow anyone, to embark on a blame game.
‐‐ Nicos Anastasiades
The state of female artists is very good. But the very definition of art has been biased in that 'art' was what men did in a European tradition and 'crafts' were what women and natives did. But it's actually all the same.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
The state of Israel, and a government under me, will make it a strategic objective to topple the Hamas regime in Gaza. The means for doing this should be military, economic, and diplomatic.

The State of Israel, in partnership with Project Better Place and Renault-Nissan, is set to become the first country in the world to initiate the mass deployment of electric vehicles.
‐‐ Ehud Olmert
The State of Israel is a state that was formed before the people were even in it. You have to understand: In India, in Burma, in Pakistan - all of the people were already there. Their problem was for the English to leave so they could be independent.
