Well, there are about 10 million children that aren't covered by health insurance. About 3 million qualify for Medicaid but don't get it, so we're going to reach out and bring more of those kids into the Medicaid program.

Someone told me that when they go to Vermont, they feel like they're home. I'm that way at Saks.

Caroline Rhea

Why would I spend my time writing software in a language below the grade of love, if I can use one that makes my brain sing?

David Heinemeier Hansson

Life is a voyage.

Victor Hugo

Visitors are insatiable devourers of time, and fit only for those who, if they did not visit, would do nothing.

William Cowper

A prison taint was on everything there. The imprisoned air, the imprisoned light, the imprisoned damps, the imprisoned men, were all deteriorated by confinement. As the captive men were faded and haggard, so the iron was rusty, the stone was slimy, the wood was rotten, the air was faint, the light was dim. Like a well, like a vault, like a tomb, the prison had no knowledge of the brightness outside; and would have kept its polluted atmosphere intact, in one of the spice islands of the Indian Ocean.

Charles Dickens

I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write, I prefer to write in the morning until midday, and in the afternoon, I eat.

Naguib Mahfouz

Homer has taught all other poets the are of telling lies skillfully.

Aristotle

So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thoughts it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?

Richard Dawkins

There is no question but that if Jesus Christ, or a great prophet from another religion, were to come back today, he would find it virtually impossible to convince anyone of his credentials despite the fact that the vast evangelical machine on American television is predicated on His imminent return among us sinners.

Peter Ustinov

The reason I exercise is for the quality of life I enjoy.

Kenneth H. Cooper

Most sermons sound to me like commercials - but I can't make out whether God is the Sponsor or the Product.

Mignon McLaughlin

The years like great black oxen tread the world, and God, the herdsman goads them on behind, and I am broken by their passing feet.

William Butler Yeats
