If you cannot be silent be brilliant and thoughtful.

Byron Pulsifer

What happened in the missile crisis in October 1962 has been prettified to make it look as if acts of courage and thoughtfulness abounded. The truth is that the whole episode was almost insane.

Noam Chomsky

When you are older you will understand how precious little things, seemingly of no value in themselves, can be loved and prized above all price when they convey the love and thoughtfulness of a good heart.

Edwin Booth

Whereas we used to be a culture that placed a premium on creativity and thoughtfulness, we now place it on speed. We're reachable across dozens of channels - email, phone, texts, social media - and not only that, we're expected to respond instantaneously, no matter what time of the day.

Randi Zuckerberg

'Power' is a beast to produce. Everyone behind the scenes brings a thoughtfulness and dauntless work ethic day in and day out.

Lela Loren

I aspire to make a record that sounds better 10 listens in than it does after two, and still, at 50 listens, you're picking out things that add a depth and a thoughtfulness to it; there's enough in there that you can still be extracting pieces out of it.

Trent Reznor

Jacky Rosen

We need to seek wise leaders who will seek common ground among Americans instead of dividing us further for political gain. As citizens, we must embrace those who embrace ideas, thoughtfulness, civility and kindness to others no matter what their political beliefs.

James McGreevey

I think it's true we look forward to enormous amounts of information, but I think we would be better off if we thought about the kinds of wisdom and thoughtfulness that we need in order to handle the amount of information ahead.

Maya Soetoro-Ng

If written with enough care and thoughtfulness, a joke can make you laugh at a belief you hold dear.

Paul F. Tompkins

Playing a real person, it does add an extra level of thoughtfulness. You're portraying someone who actually existed, so instead of saying, like, 'OK, I think this would make the scene better,' it's more a question of, 'What do I think the real Jeffrey Dahmer would do?'
