My computer beat me at checkers but I sure beat it at kickboxing.

Hope is a great falsifier. Let good judgment keep her in check.

Together we will build an America where hope is a new job with a paycheck not a faded word on an old bumper sticker.

To be honest I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out with only one purpose: hooking up. I'm quite the dork I'd rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn't get you a girl does it?

I think because my life is so insane and it's constantly going at 120 miles per hour my favorite thing to do is sit at home in front of the TV and check out.

If eating out order your meal and ask the server to wrap up half of the portion to take home with your for the next day keeping your portion size in check and stretching your dollar into two meals.

I got a lovely check today from being a writer that I earned by sitting at home. That's rewarding.

I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it check the cash register.

In my case I pay a standard premium to participate in the Federal Employees' Health Benefits Plan for my wife and myself out of each month's paycheck.

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 want to encourage everyone to be proactive with their health and get checked out.

Today the demands are for even higher standards in the quality of care for greater flexibility and convenience in treatment times and for more prevention through screening and health checks.

The type of leukemia that I am dealing with is treatable. So if I do what my doctors tell me to do - get my blood checked regularly take my meds and consult with my doctor and follow any additional instructions he might make - I will be able to maintain my good health and live my life with a minimum of disruptions to my lifestyle.

We must solve the problem in health care by curbing out-of-control costs that erode paychecks for working families and push quality coverage out of reach for millions of Americans.

We all learn in school that the judicial legislative and executive branches of government must check and balance each other. But other non state institutions must participate in this important system of checks and balances as well. These checking institutions include the academy the media religious institutions and NGOs.

Ours is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances.

The Canadian government continues to say they will not help us if we go to war with Iraq. However the prime minister of Canada said he'd like to help but he's pretty sure that last time he checked Canada had no army.

Democracy is when the people keep a government in check.

The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests and when not efficiently checked it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised.

This used to be a government of checks and balances. Now it's all checks and no balances.

It's opportunity. It's opportunity not a check from government - it's opportunity that has always driven America and defined us as Americans.

Now let me be clear. The path I lay out is not one paved with ever increasing government checks and cradle to grave assurance that government will always be the solution. If this election is a bidding war for who can promise the most goodies and the most benefits I'm not your president. You have that president today.

As a child is indulged or checked in its early follies a ground is generally laid for the happiness or misery of the future man.

After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.
