76640. Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house, the marriage and, sometimes, what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: I do my half. I do half of his half, and the rest doesn’t get done. – Arlie Hochschild

76641. If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself – your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers. – Dee Hock

76642. Language was a huge expansion of that capacity to deal with information. – Dee Hock

76643. An illustration I use to get people to understand it is this: I’ll ask major corporate audiences: Why don’t you just take all your traditional beliefs about organizations, and apply them to the neurons in your brain? – Dee Hock

76644. An organization, no matter how well designed, is only as good as the people who live and work in it. – Dee Hock

76645. As I like to say, the entire collective memory of the species – that means all known and recorded information – is going to be just a few keystrokes away in a matter of years. – Dee Hock

76646. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. – Dee Hock

76647. Every mind is a room packed with archaic furniture. – Dee Hock

76648. Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all the other qualities. – Dee Hock

76649. If you don’t understand that you work for your mislabeled ‘subordinates,’ then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny. – Dee Hock

76650. If you go back to the first single-cell form of life, it clearly possessed the capacity to receive, to utilize, to store, to transform, and to transmit information. – Dee Hock

76651. It is essential to employ, trust, and reward those whose perspective, ability, and judgment are radically different from yours. It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom. – Dee Hock

76652. It won’t do away with hierarchy totally, but the principal leader will be the person who most exemplifies the kind of organization and behavior required who is best able to create the conditions such organizations require. – Dee Hock

76653. Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia. – Dee Hock

76654. Make a careful list of all things done to you that you abhorred. Don’t do them to others, ever. – Dee Hock

76655. If you’re in such a position of power and your ego is such that this is not possible, then its essential to have a small cadre of very bright, committed people who are questioning, exploring and understanding these emerging concepts. – Dee Hock

76656. Preserve substance; modify form; know the difference. – Dee Hock

76657. With the advent of genetic engineering the time required for the evolution of new species may literally collapse. – Dee Hock

76658. What will become compellingly important is absolute clarity of shared purpose and set of principles of conduct sort of institutional genetic code that every member of the organization understands in a common way, and with deep conviction. – Dee Hock

76659. Throughout history, it took centuries for the habits of one culture to materially affect another. Now, that which becomes popular in one country can sweep through others within months. – Dee Hock

76660. Think about technological float: it took centuries for the wheel to gain universal acceptance. Now any microchip device can be in use around the world in weeks. – Dee Hock

76661. The prudent course is to make an investment in learning, testing and understanding, determine how the new concepts compare to how you now operate and thoughtfully determine how they apply to what you want to achieve in the future. – Dee Hock

76662. The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. – Dee Hock

76663. The closest thing to a law of nature in business is that form has an affinity for expense, while substance has an affinity for income. – Dee Hock

76664. Substance is enduring, form is ephemeral. – Dee Hock

76665. Money motivates neither the best people, nor the best in people. It can move the body and influence the mind, but it cannot touch the heart or move the spirit; that is reserved for belief, principle, and morality. – Dee Hock

76666. Make another list of things done for you that you loved. Do them for others, always. – Dee Hock

76667. Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it. – Dee Hock

76668. Success follows those adept at preserving the substance of the past by clothing it in the forms of the future. – Dee Hock

76669. Only the man who has enough good in him to feel the justice of the penalty can be punished. – William Ernest Hocking

76670. I find that a man is as old as his work. If his work keeps him from moving forward, he will look forward with the work. – William Ernest Hocking

76671. We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way. – David Hockney

76672. Well you can’t teach the poetry, but you can teach the craft. – David Hockney

76673. Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood. – David Hockney

76674. What I didn’t know was I was deeply attracted to the big space. – David Hockney

76675. Yes, I did, I mean I painted er, in a kind of abstract expressionist way, because of course that was exciting. – David Hockney

76676. You had to be aware that I saw that photography was a mere episode in the history of the optical projection and when the chemicals ended, meaning the picture was fixed by chemicals, we were in a new era. – David Hockney

76677. A belief is like a guillotine, just as heavy, just as light. – David Hockney

76678. And then I went round the corner and there’s a Van Gogh portrait, and you just think, well, this is another level. A higher level, actually. I love the Sargent, but it’s not the level of Van Gogh. – David Hockney

76679. Anything simple always interests me. – David Hockney

76680. Art has to move you and design does not, unless it’s a good design for a bus. – David Hockney

76681. But slowly I began to use cameras and then think about what it was that was going on. It took me a long time, I mean I actually played with cameras and photography for about 20 years. – David Hockney

76682. But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you’ve taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn’t. – David Hockney

76683. But, I would always be thinking of how pictures are constructed and colour, how to use it, I mean you’re using it for constructing, makes you think about it, the place did as well. – David Hockney

76684. I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles. – David Hockney

76685. I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century. – David Hockney

76686. There are enough no smoking places now. – David Hockney

76687. Always live in the ugliest house on the street – then you don’t have to look at it. – David Hockney

76688. I’m a bit claustrophobic, I know that now. – David Hockney

76689. We grow small trying to be great. – David Hockney

76690. The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you’re an artist. – David Hockney

76691. The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent. – David Hockney

76692. Television is becoming a collage – there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different. – David Hockney

76693. Smoking calms me down. It’s enjoyable. I don’t want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life. – David Hockney

76694. Shadows sometimes people don’t see shadows. The Chinese of course never paint them in pictures, oriental art never deals with shadow. But I noticed these shadows and I knew it meant it was sunny. – David Hockney

76695. Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do. – David Hockney

76696. It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work. – David Hockney

76697. One often forms a mental image of an artist through his work and is often disappointed on meeting him. – Alun Hoddinott

76698. I have a number of alternatives, and each one gives me something different. – Glenn Hoddle

76699. At this moment in time I did not say them things. – Glenn Hoddle

76700. All Church power arises from the indwelling of the Spirit; therefore those in whom the Spirit dwells are the seat of Church power. But the Spirit dwells in the whole Church, and therefore the whole Church is the seat of Church power. – Charles Hodge

76701. The Church is everywhere represented as one. It is one body, one family, one fold, one kingdom. It is one because pervaded by one Spirit. We are all baptized into one Spirit so as to become, says the apostle, on body. – Charles Hodge

76702. All Church power is, therefore, properly ministerial and administrative. Everything is to be done in the name of Christ, and in accordance with his directions. – Charles Hodge

76703. As the Church is the aggregate of believers, there is an intimate analogy between the experience of the individual believer, and of the Church as a whole. – Charles Hodge

76704. But to be the Vicar of Christ, to claim to exercise his prerogatives on earth, does involve a claim to his attributes, and therefore our opposition to Popery is opposition to a man claiming to be God. – Charles Hodge

76705. Christ has not only ordained that there shall be such officers in his Church – he has not only specified their duties and prerogatives – but he gives the requisite qualifications, and calls those thus qualified, and by that call gives them their official authority. – Charles Hodge

76706. If all Church power vests in the clergy, then the people are practically bound to passive obedience in all matters of faith and practice; for all right of private judgment is then denied. – Charles Hodge

76707. If the Church is a living body united to the same head, governed by the same laws, and pervaded by the same Spirit, it is impossible that one part should be independent of all the rest. – Charles Hodge

76708. It is a thoroughly anti-christian doctrine that the Spirit of God, and therefore the life and governing power of the Church, resides in the ministry, to the exclusion of the people. – Charles Hodge

76709. Original sin is the only rational solution of the undeniable fact of the deep, universal and early manifested sinfulness of men in all ages, of every class, and in every part of the world. – Charles Hodge

76710. Our first remark on this subject is that the ministry is an office, and not merely a work. – Charles Hodge

76711. Our second remark is, that the office is of divine appointment, not merely in the sense in which the civil powers are ordained of God, but in the sense that ministers derive their authority from Christ, and not from the people. – Charles Hodge

76712. Romanists tell us that the Pope is the vicar of Christ; that he is his successor as the universal head and ruler of the Church on earth. If this is so, he must be a Christ. – Charles Hodge

76713. Ruling elders are declared to be the representatives of the people. – Charles Hodge

76714. All the reasons which require the subjection of a believer to the brethren of a particular church, require his subjection to all his brethren in the Lord. – Charles Hodge

76715. That the apostolic office is temporary, is a plain historical fact. – Charles Hodge

76716. The Popish theory, which assumes that Christ, the Apostles and believers, constituted the Church while our Saviour was on earth, and this organization was designed to be perpetual. – Charles Hodge

76717. When the great promise of the Spirit was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, it was fulfilled not in reference to the apostles only. – Charles Hodge

76718. There can, therefore, be no doubt that Presbyterians do carry out the principle that Church power vests in the Church itself, and that the people have a right to a substantive part in its discipline and government. – Charles Hodge

76719. The ultimate ground of faith and knowledge is confidence in God. – Charles Hodge

76720. So too, in forming a constitution, or in enacting rules of procedure, or making canons, the people do not merely passively assent, but actively cooperate. They have, in all these matters, the same authority as the clergy. – Charles Hodge

76721. The Reformers, therefore, as instruments in the hands of God, in delivering the Church from bondage to prelates, did not make it a tumultuous multitude, in which every man was a law to himself, free to believe, and free to do what he pleased. – Charles Hodge

76722. The office of presbyters is a permanent one. – Charles Hodge

76723. The Independent or Congregational theory includes two principles; first, that the governing and executive power in the Church is in the brotherhood; and secondly, that the Church organization is complete in each worshipping assembly, which is independent of every other. – Charles Hodge

76724. The Galatians are severely censured for giving heed to false doctrines, and are called to pronounce even an apostle anathema, if he preached another gospel. – Charles Hodge

76725. The functions of these elders, therefore, determine the power of the people; for a representative is one chosen by others to do in their name what they are entitled to do in their own persons; or rather to exercise the powers which radically inhere in those for whom they act. – Charles Hodge

76726. The Church, however, is a self-governing society, distinct from the State, having its officers and laws, and, therefore, an administrative government of its own. – Charles Hodge

76727. The Church, during the apostolic age, did not consist of isolated, independent congregations, but was one body, of which the separate churches were constituent members, each subject to all the rest, or to an authority which extended over all. – Charles Hodge

76728. The right of the people to a substantive part in the government of the Church is recognized and sanctioned by the apostles in almost every conceivable way. – Charles Hodge

76729. Well, I know that I’ll never forget that, but also I won’t forget the hundreds of people who sent me letters, telegrams, and postcards during that World Series. There wasn’t a single nasty message. Everybody tried to say something nice. – Gil Hodges

76730. I can’t very well tell my batters don’t hit it to him. Wherever they hit it, he’s there anyway. – Gil Hodges

76731. Many children work hard to please their parents, but what I truly longed for was good times that were about us, not about me. That is the real hole the Dodgers filled in my life. – Gil Hodges

76732. There is a broad range of reaction to the work, as there is a broad range of work I make. – Jim Hodges

76733. Landscape is a piece that is emotional and psychological. – Jim Hodges

76734. When I started working with mirrors, it seemed to be the perfect material to stand in for that waiting. – Jim Hodges

76735. When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process. – Jim Hodges

76736. My latest works are these things with light bulbs. – Jim Hodges

76737. It’s as if I were collaborating with myself, revealing my relationship to the material. My hand would make the drawing. Then my mouth would transmit it. – Jim Hodges

76738. I’m an average person. – Jim Hodges

76739. I work from a personal place, and the work has personal meaning for me. – Jim Hodges

76740. I wasn’t interested in holding onto the evidence of things. – Jim Hodges

76741. I was trying to write an autobiography using prints and patterns that reference emotional, psychological, and personal development in my work, as a person growing up, figuring out who I was. I used fabrics to stand in for occurrences. – Jim Hodges

76742. I was feeling a strong need to change, grow, and break with particular things that were going on in my life and my history, and the material was the perfect answer for that. – Jim Hodges

76743. Color is an intense experience on its own. – Jim Hodges

76744. Often, I work out of my work. One work takes me to the next thing. – Jim Hodges

76745. I think young people have a wonderful reaction to color because it’s not screwed up by too many references. – Jim Hodges

76746. But most people don’t come up to me and express a lot of emotion. – Jim Hodges

76747. As a viewer, my own work elicits strong emotional reaction from me. – Jim Hodges

76748. Color is for me the purest form of expression, the purest abstract reality. – Jim Hodges

76749. For a while, I thought a lot about lineage. Where do I belong? Who am I standing next to? – Jim Hodges

76750. However, some of my work is very subtle, and one should expect very subtle reactions to it. – Jim Hodges

76751. I move very slowly. It’s usually material first. I sit with the material for a long time. – Jim Hodges

76752. I think that some works are more accessible than others. – Jim Hodges

76753. If ignorance paid dividends, most Americans could make a fortune out of what they don’t know about economics. – Luther H. Hodges

76754. I want my pictures to be things. I want them to be made up of marks that are physically and individually self-sufficient. – Howard Hodgkin

76755. Matisse was very clear about saying that you have to blow your own trumpet and explain yourself, which I think has been slightly forgotten. – Howard Hodgkin

76756. I’m vulnerable to criticism. Any artist is, because you work alone in your studio and, until recently, critics were the only way you’d get any feedback. – Howard Hodgkin

76757. In England, it’s thought to be morally suspect to worry about what your surroundings look like. – Howard Hodgkin

76758. In the United States there has been a kind of a structure in the Modern art world. The New York School was nearly a coherent thing-for a minute. – Howard Hodgkin

76759. I’m very envious of the few artists who are any good and still do portraits. – Howard Hodgkin

76760. My friends tend to be writers. I think writers and painters are really all the same-we just sit in our rooms. – Howard Hodgkin

76761. My language is what I use, and if I lost that, I wouldn’t be able to say anything. – Howard Hodgkin

76762. The picture surface recedes just as much in the 20th century as it did in the 15th. The techniques of making pictures have hardly changed. – Howard Hodgkin

76763. You keep on balancing and balancing and balancing until the picture wins, because then the subject’s turned into the picture. – Howard Hodgkin

76764. I think words come between the spectator and the picture. – Howard Hodgkin

76765. Collecting has been my great extravagance. It’s a way of being. I collect for the same reason that I eat too much-I’m one of nature’s shoppers. – Howard Hodgkin

76766. When I finish a painting, it usually looks as surprising to me as to anyone else. – Howard Hodgkin

76767. I think that words are often extraneous to what I do. – Howard Hodgkin

76768. I once was interviewed and got so exasperated that I said, ‘What do you want, a shopping list?’ They kept asking, ‘What’s in this picture?’ – Howard Hodgkin

76769. I look at my pictures, and I think, ‘Well, how did I do that?’ – Howard Hodgkin

76770. I hate painting. – Howard Hodgkin

76771. I find old copies of National Gallery catalogues, which are written in the dryest possible prose, infinitely soothing. – Howard Hodgkin

76772. I fell through a crack for years. Historically, I am a nothing because I fit in no category. I can only be me. – Howard Hodgkin

76773. I don’t think you can lightly paint a picture. It’s an activity I take very seriously. – Howard Hodgkin

76774. I don’t really have a historical overview of my work at all. I’m not an art historian. I don’t see that there’s this period and that period. – Howard Hodgkin

76775. I don’t look at the work of my contemporaries very much; I tend to look at pictures by dead artists. It’s much easier to get near their paintings. – Howard Hodgkin

76776. I am happy for people to talk about my pictures, but I wish devoutly that I was not expected to talk about them myself. – Howard Hodgkin

76777. A painting is finished when the subject comes back, when what has caused the painting to be made comes back as an object. – Howard Hodgkin

76778. A collection makes its own demands. Many artists have been collectors. I think of it rather as an illness. I felt it was using up too much energy. – Howard Hodgkin

76779. I am isolated as an artist, not as a person. – Howard Hodgkin

76780. A lot of times when I sit down with the other comics and try to talk theory, they say I’m being too serious. – Joel Hodgson

76781. Beanie and Cecil was the first cartoon I remember watching and I think there are analogies. – Joel Hodgson

76782. Then a friend of Jim’s suggested we make a theme song to explain the story, and this is where the Mads came from. Josh and I wrote it into the theme song. – Joel Hodgson

76783. When we did the pilot, I sort of pictured this guy pirating a signal and then this story unfolding of him building this satellite and these robots and watching these bad movies. – Joel Hodgson

76784. Well, we had more money and more time the first season than we did at TV 23. – Joel Hodgson

76785. Well, really the way worked was that I had probably built fifty robots before Mystery Science Theater, and I had sold them in a store in Minneapolis in a store called Props, which was kind of a high end gift shop. – Joel Hodgson

76786. A lot of the shows that really become hit shows are often demonstrated, like Mystery Science Theater. – Joel Hodgson

76787. Then we tried to come up with ideas for the sketches, and then, when we actually shot the movie, we really just sat down – never previewed the movie – we just really winged it. – Joel Hodgson

76788. The name Crow was inspired by a number of things. I thought it would be cool to have a robot with sort of a Native American feel to it. – Joel Hodgson

76789. The internet is a total inversion of television. It’s the opposite. – Joel Hodgson

76790. The first twenty shows at TV 23 were really a workshop. – Joel Hodgson

76791. Besides, it doesn’t make any sense to have these characters living in the year 3000 when all their points of reference are from the pop culture of the 80’s and the 90’s. – Joel Hodgson

76792. So the actual riffing came out of us just sitting there and doing it the way I think some people think we really did it, which is all spontaneously, and it really was. – Joel Hodgson

76793. Mystery Science Theater is really a postmodern show, it’s really derived of many influences. – Joel Hodgson

76794. If you notice any of the press from when I was with the show, I would always deny it being the year 3000. – Joel Hodgson

76795. Gypsy was the name my brother gave a pet turtle he had. I always thought it was so peculiar. – Joel Hodgson

76796. But if you think you aren’t creative that’s cool, too. I think being around people who aren’t creative is kind of refreshing and nice. – Joel Hodgson

76797. But after that, I was extremely happy with the story and the look of the show at the beginning of season two – everything was working together. I felt like it was finished conceptually. – Joel Hodgson

76798. South Park started as a little video Christmas card. – Joel Hodgson

76799. They would hear 3000 and think it was the year 3000, I was hoping it would sort of disorient them and prepare them for the strange message they were about to receive. – Joel Hodgson

76800. Time, you old gypsy man, will you not stay, put up your caravan just for one day? – Ralph Hodgson

76801. The handwriting on the wall may be a forgery. – Ralph Hodgson

76802. Did anyone ever have a boring dream? – Ralph Hodgson

76803. Some things have to be believed to be seen. – Ralph Hodgson

76804. Education is critical not only to each one of us individually, but also to build the economic vitality of our state. – John Hoeven

76805. We can reach our potential, but to do so, we must reach within ourselves. We must summon the strength, the will, and the faith to move forward – to be bold – to invest in our future. – John Hoeven

76806. Our single greatest challenge is the ability to move power to markets outside North Dakota. – John Hoeven

76807. Nowadays, business is all about productivity – and our folks produce. – John Hoeven

76808. It’s a combination of targeting higher paying jobs in these growth areas and fostering closer cooperation with higher education; a rising tide that lifts all boats. – John Hoeven

76809. Caring for our seniors is perhaps the greatest responsibility we have. Those who walked before us have given so much and made possible the life we all enjoy. – John Hoeven

76810. Businesses must invest in products and people in order to create new wealth. – John Hoeven

76811. If we’re going to create the best business climate to create higher paying jobs and retain our young people, we’re going to have to build a workforce prepared for the opportunities of the future. – John Hoeven

76812. From the world wars of Europe to the jungles of the Far East, from the deserts of the Middle East to the African continent, and even here in our own hemisphere, our veterans have made the world a better place and America the great country we are today. – John Hoeven

76813. Lots of people talk to animals… Not very many listen, though… That’s the problem. – Benjamin Hoff

76814. Well, it takes all kinds to make a mess. – Benjamin Hoff

76815. We simply need to believe in the power that’s within us, and use it. – Benjamin Hoff

76816. Under Confucianism, the use of precisely measured court music, prescribed steps, actions, and phrases all added up to an extremely complex system of rituals, each used for a particular purpose at a particular time. – Benjamin Hoff

76817. Pooh is able to accomplish what he does because he is simpleminded. – Benjamin Hoff

76818. Life itself, when understood and utilized for what it is, is sweet. – Benjamin Hoff

76819. It means that Tao doesn’t force or interfere with things, but lets them work in their own way, to produce results naturally. Then whatever needs to be done is done. – Benjamin Hoff

76820. From the Taoist point of view, the natural result of this harmonious way of living is happiness. – Benjamin Hoff

76821. But the basic Taoism that we are concerned with here is simply a particular way of appreciating, learning from, and working with whatever happens in everyday life. – Benjamin Hoff

76822. As any old Taoist walking out of the woods can tell you, simple-minded does not necessarily mean stupid. – Benjamin Hoff

76823. Practically everything from hairstyles to lifestyles is endorsed as some sort of drug to be taken Now for Instant Relief. – Benjamin Hoff

76824. That’s what unions do. They can get money, they can get support, they can get manpower. – James P. Hoffa

76825. This is just the beginning of a new era for America’s workers. – James P. Hoffa

76826. We must have more union members in this country to fight the political and business forces that are undermining workers in this country. The AFL-CIO has chosen the opposite approach by planning to throw even more money at politicians. – James P. Hoffa

76827. We vote – if the public votes 50 percent, we vote 70 percent. So we have a bigger impact with our numbers, and the organization and the manpower we can bring to a race. – James P. Hoffa

76828. I may have many faults, but being wrong ain’t one of them. – Jimmy Hoffa

76829. When you’re away, I’m restless, lonely, Wretched, bored, dejected; only here’s the rub, my darling dear, I feel the same when you’re near. – Samuel Hoffenstein

76830. My soul is dark with stormy riot: directly traced over to diet. – Samuel Hoffenstein

76831. It is often the failure who is the pioneer in new lands, new undertakings, and new forms of expression. – Eric Hoffer

76832. It still holds true that man is most uniquely human when he turns obstacles into opportunities. – Eric Hoffer

76833. It sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents. – Eric Hoffer

76834. It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn. – Eric Hoffer

76835. It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities and talents. – Eric Hoffer

76836. It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny. – Eric Hoffer

76837. It is remarkable by how much a pinch of malice enhances the penetrating power of an idea or an opinion. Our ears, it seems, are wonderfully attuned to sneers and evil reports about our fellow men. – Eric Hoffer

76838. Take away hatred from some people, and you have men without faith. – Eric Hoffer

76839. It is not so much the example of others we imitate as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words. – Eric Hoffer

76840. It is not actual suffering but the taste of better things which excites people to revolt. – Eric Hoffer

76841. It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action, while the distant hope acts as an opiate. – Eric Hoffer

76842. Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for lost faith in ourselves. – Eric Hoffer
