What I'm not saying is that all government spending is bad. It's not - far far from it but there is no free lunch as a former colleague of mine used to say. There is no public tooth fairy. Father Christmas does not work on the Treasury staff this year. You can never bail someone out of trouble without putting someone else into trouble.

Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President I never will.

I felt very unstressed on my wedding day. I'm very grateful for that... spending the day on my own being super quiet and happy and just puttering around doing my own thing.

I'm finding myself really angry over spending and the deficit. I'm finding myself really angry over what's happening in the Middle East the decision to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely. I'm angry about cap and trade. And I've been on record for a long time on the failed war on drugs.

Spending when the math's not there and the numbers aren't there and if they look in the social security trust fund it's filled with IOUs because the government's been pilfering it for years on end. We have to do something. We have to start having this discussion.

Liberty as it is conceived by current opinion has nothing inherent about it it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.

Will some reporter or some Republican on the Sunday shows please ask why tax cuts raid the non-existent Social Security Trust Fund but all the Democrats' new spending doesn't? Will someone please ask that?

Domestic travel and tourism-related spending has reached $1 trillion a year.

I'm not comfortable being preachy but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

But when I was a teenager the idea of spending the rest of my life in a factory was real depressing. So the idea that I could become a musician opened up some possibilities I didn't see otherwise.

Educators are still spending way too much time trying to control what kids learn bending the content to their own purposes hoping beyond hope to change - by using technology - but not change too much.

Second we're spending a huge amount of money on technology so that everyone can check out laptops and portable phones. We're spending more money to write our existing information into databases or onto CD-ROM.

In the ideal classroom the teacher is either spending all of their time doing deep interventions with students on a one-on-one basis or facilitating true interactivity - labs simulations projects.

The impending teacher shortage is the most critical education issue we will face in the next decade.

Follow your passion. Nothing - not wealth success accolades or fame - is worth spending a lifetime doing things you don't enjoy.

Well you know I'm very supportive of what the Tea Party is trying to do. They're very concerned with spending the deficit the bailouts you know all of those kinds of things. But I really think that the strength of the Tea Party is being a grassroots movement.

It's all too easy when talking about female gymnasts to fall into the trap of infantilizing them spending more time worrying more about female vulnerability than we do celebrating female strength.

I had a lot of encouragement and tolerance from my parents but I also have many friends who didn't get that from their parents and in a way they have more strength from spending years where nobody believed in them.

We can't equate spending on veterans with spending on defense. Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget but in the size of our hearts in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that's not just measured in words or gestures.

I love to get home and hang out with my family. My brothers and I love spending time at the beach. I enjoy doing all kinds of surf sports and keeping healthy.

There's no particular relationship between spending and educational results. Most education spending is actually on salaries and that's allocated according to political muscle.

As long as women are in the work force making their own money and decisions men are going to have to realize that this way of life is here to stay - because it takes two incomes to make it and more now. The sooner you address your style of saving and spending with your mate the better off your relationship will be.

Getting and spending we lay waste our powers.
