If you think you have it tough read history books.

I don't think we handled the aftermath of the fall of Baghdad as well as we might have. But that's now history.

Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history I think to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.

I think really China Chinese I think they really have a long history of civilization rich culture.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

When the rich think about the poor they have poor ideas.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new so we must think anew and act anew.

I've declined every congressional benefit I could decline federal health insurance the retirement program the 403(b) program which I think is overly generous. I've got self-imposed term limits of six terms if I have the privilege to serve that long.

The record business is dangerous to the health of bands and individuals which is something I'm just now learning. But it's not dangerous in any of the ways people think it's not that they try to make you compromise your art. That's not the problem.

I think that some of our soldiers die in the battlefield and some come home to bad health and die prematurely just by the nature of the kind of business they're in.

I think it's time to have a celebration of life and renew our vows. And this time we're going to write the vows because they're going to mean a lot more. We certainly put the 'in sickness and in health' vow to the test the last year and half.

I think it's important that as a matter of course the brain and spinal column were removed from this cow and that would be the material that would cause concern in terms of human health. And therefore we're confident in the safety of the food supply.

I have to say that in this particular cow that we're dealing with those parts of the cow were removed and so we don't think there's any risk or very negligible risk to human health with this particular incident.

Looking at affordable health care I think it is important that we look not only at prescription drugs but also make sure that there is a major focus on health care.

Making sure that health care is affordable for every American. I think that is very very important.

Government health care changes the relationship between the citizen and the state and in fact I think it's an assault on citizenship.

We can't afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We've got to get it done. The future the health the life - our nation depends on it and it's just foolish to think or act otherwise.

Because when we think about the real facts: 44 million Americans without health insurance millions without jobs a 50-year high on mortgage foreclosures an historic high the third year in a row on personal bankruptcies.

We don't come to Canada for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves.

We take our kids for physical vaccinations dental exams eye checkups. When do we think to take our - our son or daughter for a mental health checkup?

I think the thing that the American people want is for the divisive debate on health care to stop.

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.

Think for a moment about what Obamacare has done: The federal government has come up with its own (ever-evolving) definition of 'health insurance ' which now includes free access to sterilization contraception and certain abortifacients such as the morning-after pill.

As state leaders I think its important for us to provide our perspectives on issues we face every day - like access to school spending access to health care and governing in a global economy.
