The question is what I wanted to do with the new life God has given me. This is the mission I want to take on.

Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.

Michael Burgess

I go home and don't get treated any differently. People have known me all my life and are interested and very supportive but because they have known me forever I don't get any diva treatment. My mum still tells me off if I haven't loaded the dishwasher for her.

Katherine Jenkins

The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.

Benjamin Haydon

My strength and my weakness are twins in the same womb.

Marge Piercy

Go and surprise the whole country by doing something right.

Mark Twain

The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day.

Henry Ward Beecher

We've got to see a state where the Afghan government can handle its own day-to-day security.

Stephen Harper

In response to gibes from Quebec sports announcers: out of ugly, I think the most important thing to do in life is to make something beautiful

Johnny Weir

By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder -- infinitely prouder -- to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, Our Father Who Art in Heaven.

General Douglas MacArthur

We all have enough strength to endure the misfortunes of others.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most? When they done good and made things easy for everybody? Well then, you ain't through learning-because that ain't the time at all...when you starts measuring somebody, measure him right, child, measure him right. Make sure you done taken into account what hills and valleys he come through before he got to wherever he is.
