Seven presidents before him - Democrats and Republicans - tried to expand health care to all Americans. President Obama got it done.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.

Wade Boggs

I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.

Hugh Jackman

When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you'd like them to be.

Leo Tolstoy

There is a silence, the child of love, which expresses everything, and proclaims more loudly than the tongue is able to do.

William Drummond

It's funny, when people talk about the 70s I can tell you the year of every album but when it comes to the later efforts I can't remember the exact years, it's funny isn't it?

Steve Hackett

And first Satan's endeavours have ever been, and they cease not yet to instill a belief in the minde of man, There is no God at all. . . . that the necessity of his entity dependeth upon ours, and is but a Politicall Chymera. . . . Where he succeeds not thus high, he labours to introduce a secondary and deductive Atheisme; that although, men concede there is a God, yet . . . that he intendeth only the care of the species or common natures, but letteth loose the guard of individuals, and single existencies therein: That he looks not below the Moon, but hath designed the regiment of sublunary affairs unto inferiour deputations. To promote which apprehensions or empuzzell their due conceptions, he casteth in the notions of fate, destiny, fortune, chance and necessity. . . . Whereby extinguishing in mindes the compensation of vertue and vice, the hope and fear of heaven or hell; they comply in their actions unto the drift of his delusions. . . .

Sir Thomas Browne, Pseudodoxia E

Being on your own would be sad, sick and weird. I don't trust myself. I need that balance.

Daniel Craig

Kurt Vonnegut

It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny.

Eric Hoffer

The measure of a man is what he does with power.

Pittacus

A rebel can be a miserable and contemptible man; but there is nothing contemptible in a revolt as such - and to be a rebel in view of contemporary society does not in itself lower the value of a man. There are even cases in which one might have to honour a rebel,because he finds something in our society against which war ought to be waged - he wakens us from our slumber.

Friedrich Nietzsche

A man has as many social selves as there are individuals who recognize him.

William James
