I'm not claiming that football is the nation's salvation in this area but it's one of them one little thing that apparently has captured the imagination of a large sector of our society. But when football can't be a relatively pure outlet a fun thing then it hurts itself.

It is the work of fancy to enlarge but of judgment to shorten and contract and therefore this must be as far above the other as judgment is a greater and nobler faculty than fancy or imagination.

When we can find some humor in our upsets they no longer seem as large or as important as they once did.

If this humor be the safety of our race then it is due largely to the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain.

I was from such a large family that when I first met my wife I told her: 'You can go work outside of the house and I'll stay home and continue making my cartoon strips. Maybe I'll make some commercials nearby you know I'll do anything locally but I would love to just stay at home and raise the kids like I did when I was growing up.'

Nixon's full term was one of the most successful in U.S. history which is why he was re-elected by the largest plurality in the country's history.

From a reality perspective I'm sure part of that is true but this is the largest blackout in U.S. history. If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed I don't know what is.

I don't want to go negative on Franklin Delano Roosevelt but he didn't pass an economic deal in the first 100 days. We have passed the largest Recovery Act in the history of the country.

The Middle East has the highest unemployment percentage of any region in the world we have the largest youth cohort of history coming into the market place that frustration does translate into the political sphere when people are hungry and without jobs.

After Nixon resigned in 1974 he engaged in a very aggressive war with history attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily history won largely because of Nixon's tapes.

The Democrats co-opted the credit for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But if you go back and look at the history a larger percentage of Republicans voted for that than did Democrats. But a Democrat president signed it so they co-opted credit for having passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

I do not think it is an exaggeration to say history is largely a history of inflation usually inflations engineered by governments for the gain of governments.

American history is longer larger more various more beautiful and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.

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.

The health care industry can play a great role in this by being aware of the fact that these children form perhaps the most neglected group of people in the country largely because it is hard to find them.

With more than 1 300 sites of care VA operates the largest integrated health care system in the county.

Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level yet today's surgical tools are too large to deal with that kind of problem.

Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it? Let us then return thanks for what He has bestowed on us. Who can tell whether if we had had a larger share of ability or stronger health we should not have possessed them to our destruction.

The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.

I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.

As a bookish child in Calcutta I used to thrill to the adventures of bad girls whose pursuit of happiness swept them outside the bounds of social decency. Tess of the d'Urbervilles Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina lived large in my imagination. The naughty girls of Hollywood films flirted and knew how to drive.

Time the great destroyer of other men's happiness only enlarges the patrimony of literature to its possessor.

A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger else it must be pressed small like Chinese feet her happiness is to be made as cakes are by a fixed recipe.

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others we could have a paradise in a few years.
