I know this president. And I can tell you that he cares deeply about the next generation of young women in this country - his daughters, and everyone's daughters. President Obama had the courage to stand with Sandra Fluke. Without hesitation, he defended her right to tell her story.

We are rather in the position that used to exist at the BBC, where you feel that you can pick up the phone to people who are experts in their field and they will be very favourably disposed to you and share their knowledge.

Rory Bremner

Seneca

Love is not to be purchased, and affection has no price.

St. Jerome

I love going to movies.

Serena Williams

I've been to enough other countries in the world to know what happens when you have socialized single-payer health care. It works. People don't get sick as much. They don't lose their life savings with a catastrophic illness like cancer or AIDS.

Jello Biafra

I will come to you, my friend, when I no longer need you. Then you will find a palace, not an almshouse.

Henry David Thoreau

Poverty wants some things, Luxury many things, Avarice all things

Benjamin Franklin

When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.' So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause is really a good one.

Abraham Lincoln

He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

I'm very happy. I like my work and the various aspects of it - going around the world, teaching the gospel according to St. Albert.

Albert Ellis

He alone is wise who can accommodate himself to all contingencies of life; but the fool contends, and struggling, like a swimmer, against the stream.

Proverb

From the smallest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from one attribute of man

Ayn Rand
