It is a struggle; for though the black man fights passively, he nevertheless fights; and his passive resistance is more effective at present than active resistance could possibly be. He bears the fury of the storm as does the willow tree.
As for the promotion of peace congresses we have had our meetings and assemblies, but the promotion through them of the determined and effective will to peace displaying itself in action and policy remains to be achieved.

During holiday parties when people used to ask me what I did for a living, I would tell them I sold resort timeshares. That was an effective conversational nonstarter, until I met someone that actually did sell resort timeshares.

To address the open question of whether we are addicted to technological devices and platforms, Congress must understand the current scientific consensus, potential gaps in research, and the best way to build a body of evidence that can inform effective policymaking.
Today we’re dumping 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the environment, and tomorrow we will dump more, and there is no effective worldwide response. Until we start sharply reducing global-warming pollution, I will feel that I have failed.
To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.
If the public understands the central bank’s views on the economy and monetary policy, then households and businesses will take those views into account in making their spending and investment plans; policy will be more effective as a result.
I’m a big fan of Lou Reed, and I do a lot of talking through songs. It’s more effective with my vocal limitations and also more powerful to slightly sing sometimes. It depends on the emotion, but I’m never going to try to compete with great singers.
I learned long ago that the most effective way to compete is to play your own game, and I’ve been competing with men my whole life.
Without effective states working with active and involved citizens, there is little chance for the growth that is needed to abolish global poverty.
I’ve found cinnamon to be very effective for lowering the glycemic response to meals. People have heard that before, but I didn’t realize how profound it could be until I did the actual testing with continuous glucose monitors. And I tested all different varieties and species of cinnamon from Ceylon to Saigon.
For decades, the plight of the Palestinian people has been exacerbated by internal corruption, a lack of effective investment, and the political cynicism of the Arab states, who often did not have the best interests of the Palestinians at heart.

If you establish a right unity government, you create an effective platform to make… decisions because you have wider support of your own party.
My impression was, he’s walking as though he’s made of glass, and if you should touch him he would just shatter apart. I don’t know if it was an act or what, but it sure was effective.
When it comes to snowing people, one effective technique is to get a whole bunch of verifiable facts right and then add one or two that are untrue.
I go to bed early – around 9 P.M. or 10 P.M. – and wake up between 2 A.M. and 5 A.M. and get an extra three hours of work done. Then I have a regular work day. It’s very effective.
Like Canada, we very much wanted the United Nations to be a relevant and effective body. But once those efforts failed, we no longer saw things from a multilateral perspective. For us, now, it is much more basic than that. It is about family.
Organic farming and other earlier methods can be effective, provided they can help us improve soil health and plant health. Plant pesticides like neem and tobacco need to be promoted.
Jonas Salk showed that a killed virus vaccine would work and would be damned effective in fighting disease. This was something that virologists of the day pooh-poohed. And Salk proved them wrong.
Some folks have suggested that, using WordPress, Prologue, and RSS, you could create a pretty effective distributed version of Twitter.
The women’s movement is taking a different form right now, and it is because it has been so effective and so successful that there’s a huge counter movement to try to stop it, to try to divide women from one another, to try to almost foment divisiveness.
I have said it before and I will continue to say that I don’t think art is the most effective form of protest. I don’t think it changes policy; I think it changes discourse, and discourse can change ideas, and for me, that’s what it’s about: having that space for conversation.
I know Pandit Ravi Shankar was very upset with me, as I did not use his compositions in ‘Gandhi.’ I thought that the London Philharmonic Orchestra would prove more effective than his music. It was one of my biggest miscalculations.
It doesn’t matter what age you are, an effective song will move you.
An effective U.S. policy toward Sudan – one capable of changing the situation in the south and affecting the lives of its people – will require top-level attention and a great deal of energy. It should have three elements: aid, diplomacy, and financial disclosure.
Year-end goals are terrific! Affirmations with goals are even better! And goals, affirmations, along with visualization is even more effective!
I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable.
Gun control is not the answer. The best and most effective path forward, I believe, is one that safeguards our schools from becoming ‘soft targets.’
As soon as war is declared it will be impossible to hold the poets back. Rhyme is still the most effective drum.
Right now, there are a limited number of customers for Canadian oil. Due to simple geography – and without the pipeline – it’s really only cost effective for Canadian oil producers to sell their oil to North American customers, mostly American Midwesterners.
When you race a sailboat, the selection of your crew is just completely paramount. It’s impossible to be an effective skipper if you don’t have the right people working harmoniously in the right roles.
You know what an effective deterrent to crime is? Jail! And do you know what kind of criminal penalty actually makes people think twice about committing crimes the next time? The kind that actually comes out of some individual’s pocket, not fines that come out of the corporate kitty.
The war on terror, I believe, will be waged by effective intelligence and police work and cruise missiles.

A Supreme Court decision that concessions of this sort were unconstitutional would have taken them off the table and actually increased the effective sovereignty of elected officials.
There’s a certain libertarian right-wing view that there should be no FDA, that people can decide for themselves whether medicines are safe and effective. That’s nonsense. Most people don’t have the expertise or the resources to mount a proper study to find out whether a treatment is safe or effective.
We can’t do without government, but we do need it to be more effective.
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
