To do what we are doing in this budget to our children cutting their health care funds decreasing opportunity simply so we can pay for tax cuts and a war in Iraq is beyond belief and we need to reverse it.

Mr. Obama still has time to reverse course. A great deal depends on it. To fail on health care yet again might well be the 'Waterloo' Republicans dream of.

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head John Conyers says he doesn't understand it. It'll be passed by Congress that has not read it signed by a president who smokes funded by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese and financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?

You can have a lot of unhappiness by not having money but the reverse is no guarantee of happiness.

Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain.

You traverse the world in search of happiness which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

Happiness exists on earth and it is won through prudent exercise of reason knowledge of the harmony of the universe and constant practice of generosity.

I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.

I don't pretend to understand the Universe - it's a great deal bigger than I am.

The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.

We're a diverse society and I think the TV is doing a great job in showing that we're all human beings that we can all get along that we can all be together and I think that's a marvelous thing.

You can have a revolution wherever you like except in a government office even were the world to come to an end you'd have to destroy the universe first and then government offices.

Our nation is too different too diverse to say that what works in Massachusetts is somehow going to be grabbed by the federal government usurping the power of states and imposing a one-size-fits-all plan on the nation. That will not work.

The universe never did make sense I suspect it was built on government contract.

I'm delirious with joy. It proves that if you confront the universe with good intentions in your heart it will reflect that and reward your intent. Usually. It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect.

Listen there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go.

It is a fact often observed that men have written good verses under the inspiration of passion who cannot write well under other circumstances.

The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man what will happen to me?' But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man what will happen to him?'

God created man in His own image says the Bible philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs.

The style of God venerated in the church mosque or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe - because like Spinoza's God it won't love us in return.

A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God I believe in the universe. I believe you are god I believe I am god I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We're all god.
