Tom Cruise is one of the most successful actors of all time.

Cultural tourism surveys consistently rate San Francisco's art industry as a core reason for visiting

If you want to know the reality, you have to become the spirit.

When you are doing work of value, people will support you in a variety of ways, not just money.

A government that understands the limits of power as well as its potential.

We work because we have not seen the work of Christ.
