Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal or in other words a meddling government a government which tells them what to read and say and eat and drink and wear.

We all hope for breakthrough rebirth moments.

Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth.

The climate the economic situation rising birth rates none of these things give me a lot of hope or reason to be optimistic.

I know we can't always know what medical surprises may happen during childbirth. But my hope is to go fully natural - no epidural no interventions. Wish me luck.

Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity.

To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

Every time I took a long leave from home I felt as if I were going to conquer the world. Or rather take possession of what is my birthright my inheritance.

Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves.

I seek to call America home to those principles that gave us birth.

Home is one's birthplace ratified by memory.

No country in the history of the world has ever contributed more to humankind and accomplished more for its people in so brief a period of time as Israel has done since its relatively recent rebirth in 1948.

A library is the delivery room for the birth of ideas a place where history comes to life.

When I gave birth to my fourth child I suffered from post partum hemorrhaging. I almost lost my life. I was lucky to be under the care of trained health care personnel. I started wondering then what was happening to women in rural villages.

It is essential that the women's preventive coverage benefit including contraception be available to all women regardless of what health plan they have or where they work - as Congress intended. Providing access to birth control just makes good sense.

A man is great by deeds not by birth.

Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal or in other words a meddling government a government which tells them what to read and say and eat and drink and wear.

Somehow liberals have been unable to acquire from life what conservatives seem to be endowed with at birth: namely a healthy skepticism of the powers of government agencies to do good.

But America was founded on the principle that every person has God-given rights. That power belongs to the people. That government exists to protect our rights and serve our interests.That we shouldn't be trapped in the circumstances of our birth. That we should be free to go as far as our talents and work can take us.

Bureaucracy gives birth to itself and then expects maternity benefits.

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me what avails it? Everything lies in this that it should take place in me.

Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth and without light nothing flowers.
