I am delighted with the strong vote I have received. My message of positive leadership patriotism and commitment clearly was resonating with tens of thousands of ordinary Irish people.

To meet the expectations of the majority of our people and to open up new vistas of economic opportunity so that the aspirations of Nigerians can stand a fair chance of being fulfilled in a lifetime there must be a truly committed leadership in a democratic Nigeria.

The Irish Republican Army has kept every commitment made by its leadership.

Love shouldn't be about jealousy or anything like that. It should be about commitment and being able to trust that person. If you can't have that from the get-go there's a problem.

First I have the privilege of being Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. It is not an oxymoron I assure you.

The Committee's review of a series of intelligence shortcomings to include intelligence prior to 9/11 and the pre-war intelligence on Iraq clearly reveal how vital a diverse intelligence workforce is to our national security.

So you know I think that Democrats are being more successful in Congress and I'm really going to be proud of the role I will play tomorrow as ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee when this bill passes.

My work requires acting at its most committed - it demands actors of enormous resilience but also intelligence and wit. It doesn't work for narcissistic or selfish actors.

I am committed to ensure that our intelligence community law enforcement medical professionals and military have the information and funding needed to protect the American people from threats at home and abroad.

The Intelligence Committee will also examine present counterintelligence programs for the Department of Energy the National Laboratories and the Department of Defense.

As a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence I will be participating in several hearings on the startling revelations contained in the report.

I have had national security background 10 years on the Intelligence Committee the last two years as chair.

I'm the chairman of the intelligence committee. We don't only get formal briefings but we collect our information from the intelligence community in a variety of ways.

Successful organizations including the Military have learned that the higher the risk the more necessary it is to engage everyone's commitment and intelligence.

I will always desire to play with Bruce Springsteen. He's the most inspirational most dedicated most committed and most focused artist I've ever seen. I like to be around people like that.

You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of plus some that are beyond imagination.

The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.

A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities will keep him from the commission of all sins or nearly all save those worth committing.

If I had no sense of humor I would long ago have committed suicide.

I hope we will not so characterize religious people as being so narrow and so biased towards people not of their own religion that they cannot even work with them in this common cause to which you say they are committed.

We hope President Obama will now respect the will of the people change course and commit to making the changes they are demanding. To the extent he is willing to do this we are ready to work with him.

As a relatively young woman - I'm 33 - I hope to one day have a family and already have commitments. If and when I'm elected as an MP I would face a choice: take my family with me to London each week or be apart for four maybe five nights a week.

Religion kept some of my relatives alive because it was all they had. If they hadn't had some hope of heaven some companionship in Jesus they probably would have committed suicide their lives were so hellish.

I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships I apply that to like sports I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it.
