The truth is, our democracy is stronger when more people participate and when everyone’s views are heard. More participation not only leads to a more representative government, but also more thoughtful policies that better leverage the strengths – and better address the challenges – of the American mosaic.

Few areas which are not publicly owned can boast as many footpaths as the Cuckmere Valley. For a short walk, a footbridge across the river leads back to the little hamlet of Milton Street, where another classic local pub, the Sussex Ox, provides an admirable lunch.
If you have a pre-conceived idea of the world, you edit information. When it leads you down a certain road, you don’t challenge your own beliefs.
To me, what success looks like is not to believe that Afghanistan can become a unified, Western-style democracy with a developed-country economy just yet. I think success in the American interest is some level of assurance that it’s not going to be a place that again leads to an attack on the American homeland.
Success breeds success, and failure leads to a sort of fallow period.
By binding image and desire, glamour gives us pleasure, even as it heightens our yearning. It leads us to feel that the life we dream of exists, and to desire it even more.
Temptation is just that – she’s the girl you claim you don’t want, but in the moment, you have more drinks than you should in the club. One thing leads to another, and suddenly you’ve done something really stupid. You’ve jeopardized what could’ve potentially been a really great relationship, all due to temptation.
You can’t leave out half the world’s experience and expect to address all the problems. Women communicate differently and process information differently, which leads them to resolve conflicts differently.
Back in the 1980s, state-of-the-nation fictions were all set in Manhattan. Now, they’re all in Trump country. Early in ‘S-Town,’ we’re introduced to an actual maze, every branch of which leads to a further junction. This may also be a metaphor.
There is such opacity within the art market. There’s also an abundance of fraud and misrepresented goods, which leads to mistrust between buyers and sellers.
I try to stress to my children that buying something never leads to true happiness.
I’ve done second leads in movies, I’ve done really small roles, too. Other actors never bother me, I believe I’m decent enough to make my own place.

Hatred is a feeling which leads to the extinction of values.
One of the illusions that we live by is that we can really know anybody else, and we’re often surprised by traits in people that we thought we knew very well. The struggle to overcome loneliness, which is sort of our universal burden, leads us to leap to conclusions about who other people are.
The dynamic of how women and men are meant to interact, for those of us who are looking for a heterosexual relationship, is very broken, and it leads to a lot of really dysfunctional relationships, abusive and otherwise.
Athletes are used to battling. The public would never learn their names if professional athletes had not shown courage at an early age. They learn they can overcome, but sometimes this becomes a false sense of security that leads them to the edge.
I have played old ladies since I was 17 years old, and very convincingly. I’ve always looked funny and was too tall to play the leads and so had to play the grandmothers.
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
Good is somebody who delivered and allowed the company to overcome obstacles, without leaving a profound impact on its culture. Great is somebody who leads his company to achievements and performance and value that nobody was expecting it had.
The connections in the brain fade away unless used. We know that early stimulation of children leads to higher cognitive scores.
Never compromise your principles, even if it leads to difficulties in the short term.
You only ever see four women leads on TV today in the ‘Housewives’ shows.
I realised that to compare your insides with other people’s outsides leads to unhappiness.
Once you start worrying about a national football championship, then you begin to worry about getting the quality of athlete, and the numbers needed, to win a national championship. And that worry leads to pressure to compromise academic standards to admit those athletes.
The quest of the absolute leads into the four-dimensional world.
Who is against democracy? Is it the one who calls for peaceful resistance, or the one who bombs people, sheds their blood and leads them away from the leaders under feeble and dirty pretexts?
Often it’s a lack of time, not taste, that leads someone to hire a decorator. A good decorator/client relationship should be like a marriage. The time one puts in needs to be extensive. One needs to listen to them and understand what they like and how they live.
To inquire into the origin of life is like seeking the origin of electrical machinery or the origin of music. Every increase in complexity of arrangement, of form, of substance, leads to new and often incalculable properties.
If there’s an opportunity open that leads to an even bigger opportunity, you’re going to take it.
I believe that mothers should tell the truth, even – no, especially – when the truth is difficult. It’s always easier, and in the short term can even feel right, to pretend everything is okay, and to encourage your children to do the same. But concealment leads to shame, and of all hurts shame is the most painful.
You just have to keep trying to do good work, and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything. Yes, I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things.
Sometimes poverty is the greatest gift you can ever be given. Sometimes loss is the key that leads you to gain.
I did ‘Malice,’ ‘Sommersby,’ and ‘Sleepless in Seattle,’ and they’re as disparate characters as I’ve ever played. But somehow, there was that thing – they were all second male leads, so they all didn’t get the girl in some weird way.
More than half of pregnant women in the U.S. are obese, which leads to complications like hypertension, gestational diabetes and high blood pressure.
If you look at the teams that mix and match their starting lineup a great deal, that sort of inconsistency frequently leads to inconsistency in performance.
I think this confusion leads intellectuals and artists themselves to believe that the elite arts and humanities are a kind of higher, exalted form of human endeavor.
China leads the world in energy consumption, carbon emissions, and the release of major air and water pollutants, and the environmental impact is felt both regionally and globally.
People repeat behaviour that leads to flooding their brains with pleasurable chemicals. The short-term reward loop acts over hours to years, and the long-term reproductive success loop over generations.
Two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead.
Trust leads to intimacy, which leads to healing and meaning. We can only be intimate to the degree we can make ourselves vulnerable. But when we open our hearts, we can get hurt.
If we continue to seek learning to serve God and His children better, it is a blessing of great worth. If we begin to seek learning to exalt ourselves alone, it leads to selfishness and pride, which will take us away from eternal life.
A creative mindset is in increasingly high demand: employers are vying for workers who are able to dream big and deliver big with the next must-have product. Creative thinking fuels innovation, it leads to new goods and services, creates jobs and delivers substantial economic rewards.
Listening leads to better care, and your doctor should make an effort to hear you out and learn about you.
I think the beautiful thing about the past is that it leads you to the present.
Fundamentalists are panicked by the apparent disintegration of the family, the disappearance of certainty and the decay of morality. Fear leads them to ask, if we cannot trust the Bible, what can we trust?
The threat of extinction is more real than many realise. And the damage done to elephants directly leads to destruction of the ecosystem.
I think that in today’s world, by nature, we are all self-centered. And that often leads to selfishness.
You can demonize Goldman Sachs all you want, and I’m sure there are reasons to do it. But the real pressure is all of us pressuring the companies for stock returns, and that leads to all kinds of decisions.
Relationships survive on trust, and if that is broken at any point, it’s pretty much the end of the relationship. Besides, inability to communicate leads to problems.
