I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved.

Every day is a gift- even if it sucks.

Sherry Hochman

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is Freedom, in water there is bacteria.

Benjamin Franklin

Water is always a support or a healing thing apart from, you know, love or peace of mind.

Nastassja Kinski

Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.

Plautus

All of this suggests that while citizens became more comfortable with President Bush after September 11 and thought him to have the requisite leadership skills, they continue to harbor doubts about his priorities, loyalties, interests, and policies.

Thomas E. Mann

I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times.

Brie Larson

A man ought to read just as his inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good.

Samuel Johnson

A man with a surplus can control circumstances, but a man without a surplus is controlled by them, and often has no opportunity to exercise judgment.

Harvey S. Firestone

Truth, when not sought after, rarely comes to light.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.

Tony Buzan

Liberals in Congress have spent the past three decades pandering to environmental extremists. The policies they have put in place are in large part responsible for the energy crunch we are seeing today. We have not built a refinery in this country for 30 years.

Marsha Blackburn

Uncle Brett had a definite vision that he was after, I don't think having a famous father affected him much.
