  6. I get up at the same time every morning.
  7. I get up in the morning and do a seven-minute yoga workout. I know the most likely time I'm going to do something is when I first get up, and I make it short because, like you, I don't really want to do that first thing in the morning.
  8. I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you.
  9. I saw many people who had advanced heart disease and I was so frustrated because I knew if they just knew how to do the right thing, simple lifestyle and diet steps, that the entire trajectory of their life and health would have been different.
  10. In my business, if I get too close to you and you die, it hurts me. And so you develop a natural inclination not to be close to the patient, so that if things don't work out ideally, you can still get up the next day and care for the next patient.
  11. In Turkey, you're not allowed to be left alone in the hospital. The nurse teaches the family how to do things, and somebody is always there with the patient.
  12. It's difficult to love someone you don't respect, which is hard to remember when you're having an argument.
  13. Most food you drop is still perfectly edible. If it was in your eyesight the whole time, you can pick it up and eat it.

  15. The opposite of anger is not calmness, its empathy.
  16. There are a lot of food Nazis in the U.S., but I believe if you can show people what's really important, they'll judge the rest for themselves.

  19. We don't need sugar to live, and we don't need it as a society.
  20. We don't walk. We overeat because we've made it easy to overeat. We have fast-food joints on every corner. By the way, the 'we' is all of us. It's not the government. It's all of us doing this together.
  21. Women are much more sensitive. We know that emotionally but their organs respond to the same degree.
  22. You don't have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life.
  23. You get the health benefits of coffee up through about the first twenty-four ounces. It's the biggest source of antioxidants for Americans, and we think it helps prevent Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well.

 

  1. Democracies are indeed slow to make war, but once embarked upon a martial venture are equally slow to make peace and reluctant to make a tolerable, rather than a vindictive, peace.

  6. Goodness, armed with power, is corrupted and pure love without power is destroyed.

  12. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone therefore we are saved by love.
  13. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history therefore we must be saved by faith.
  14. Our age knows nothing but reaction, and leaps from one extreme to another.
  15. The final wisdom of life requires not the annulment of incongruity but the achievement of serenity within and above it.
  16. The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.
  17. The sad duty of politics is to establish justice in a sinful world.
  18. The tendency to claim God as an ally for our partisan value and ends is the source of all religious fanaticism.

  2. I am quite strict as a dad but I don't want to be censorious.
  3. I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's not the be all and end all for us. There are other very, very key ambitions in politics, not least social mobility and life chances,
  4. I don't watch a huge amount of telly. I read a lot. I'm reading at the moment 'Freedom,' by Jonathan Franzen, a great big brick of a book, and I'm loving it.
  5. I say this as a young dad seeing children going into primary school: I don't think we should underestimate the formative effect on a child of those first years in primary school.
  6. If you scratch below the surface and ask what really makes me tick, it's the liberalism of trying to promote freedom and opportunity. Promoting social mobility is one of the keys to that.
  7. I'm very lucky. I am one of those people who is able to go home, shut the front door and completely focus on the kids.
  8. Liberalism is a really old British tradition and it has a completely different attitude towards the individual and the relationship between the individual and the state than the collectivist response of Labour, and particularly Old Labour, does.
  9. Most of what needs to be changed in the euro zone can be done without treaty changes. The demand for treaty change is as political as it is legal and I don't think it's going to happen soon.
  10. One thing I've very quickly learned is that if you wake up every morning worrying about what's in the press, you would go completely and utterly potty.
  11. Politics is a highly tribal business.
  12. The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation.
  13. We need to teach our kids, because there is such a celebrity culture at the moment, that however rich you are, however famous you are, however glamorous you are, everyone has to live by the same rules.
  14. What I hope is in five years' time, I can go to the British people in the election and say: Lots of you doubted that coalition politics worked, but it has worked.
  15. When I became leader, I made very clear I was not going to choose the easy life. I have always taken risks. I don't like comfort-zone politics.
  16. You have a political and media elite who have an idiom by which they describe politics. It's highly, highly polarised. It's right, left, red, blue, up, down, victorious, crushed.

 

  1. At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.

  17. Raising five boys is a handful, trust me.
  18. Suddenly women's lib had made me feel my life had been wasted.
  19. The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.
  20. The winner of the hoop race will be the first to realize her dream, not society's dream, her own personal dream.
  21. To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.
  22. Value your friendship. Value your relationships.
  23. You know sit with your arm around a little kid and read. It not only teaches them to read but it keeps the family strong.

  3. I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office.
  4. I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual I'm too abstract I think too much.
  5. Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman.' Wouldn't they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism.
  6. In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.
  7. It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.
  8. My theme is going to be: Together we can win the future. The right policies lead to the right results. And I'm going to argue that President Obama will lose the future because the wrong policies lead to the wrong results.

  11. Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.
  12. Politics and war are remarkably similar situations.
  13. President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history.
  14. So I'd be quite happy to have a three-hour Lincoln-Douglas-style debate with Barack Obama. I'd let him use a teleprompter. I'll just rely on knowledge. We'll do fine.
  15. Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it's bold. It's out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it's hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government.
  16. The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.
  17. The secular elites are so terrified of telling the truth about radical Islam. When you talk about the radical Islamists, we have got to get straight and get serious and talk about it in the right way.
  18. The time has come to tell the truth about the corruption of the government employee unions in this country.
  19. We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility.
  20. We're at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and bureaucrats define the future. Down the other road is a proud, solid, reaffirmation of American exceptionalism.
  21. You can't trust anybody with power.

  14. If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.

  16. The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
  17. The best of artists has no conception that the marble alone does not contain within itself.
  18. The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.

  5. Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
  6. I grew up in a very religious family and it is the motivating force to every thing I do. I am fortunate to have had adults all around me who really lived their faith, in helping other people and doing the best you can do.
  7. I try to act out of faith.
  8. If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.
  9. If you don't like the way the world is, you change it. You have an obligation to change it. You just do it one step at a time.
  10. I'm sure I am impatient sometimes. I sure do get angry sometimes. I think it's outrageous how hard it is to get this country to feed its children and to take care of its children, to give them a decent education.
  11. In politics, there are no friends.
  12. My faith has been the driving thing of my life. I think it is important that people who are perceived as liberals not be afraid of talking about moral and community values.

  16. Remember and help America remember that the fellowship of human beings is more important than the fellowship of race and class and gender in a democratic society.
  17. Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.
  18. The Declaration of Independence was always our vision of who we wanted to be, our ideal of freedom and justice, how we were going to be different, and what the American experiment was going to be about.
  19. The future which we hold in trust for our own children will be shaped by our fairness to other people's children.
  20. There should not be one new dime in tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires as long as millions of children in America are poor, hungry, uneducated and without health coverage.
  21. Together we can and must fight for justice for our children and protect them from draconian tax cuts and budget choices that threaten their survival, education and preparation for the future. If they are not ready for tomorrow, neither is America.
  22. Unless children have strong education and strong families and strong communities and decent housing, it's not enough to go sit in at a lunch counter.
  23. We do not have a money problem in America. We have a values and priorities problem.

 

  1. As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.
  2. Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.
  3. For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift.
  4. Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?
  5. Historically, musicians know what it is like to be outside the norm - walking the high wire without a safety net. Our experience is not so different from those who march to the beat of different drummers.

  7. I can't think of one person I've ever met who didn't like some type of music.
  8. I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
  9. If you make music for the human needs you have within yourself, then you do it for all humans who need the same things. You enrich humanity with the profound expression of these feelings.
  10. I'm a history nut.
  11. I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.
  12. In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

  14. Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.
  15. More than art, more than literature, music is universally accessible.
  16. Most people are satisfied with the junk food being sold as music.
  17. The whole world loves American movies, blue jeans, jazz and rock and roll. It is probably a better way to get to know our country than by what politicians or airline commercials represent.
  18. We are living in a time when American popular music is finally being recognized as one of our most successful exports. The demand is huge.
  19. When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music, I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created.
  20. When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.
  21. When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory.
  22. Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.

  8. Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
  9. I count life just a stuff to try the soul's strength on.

  23. Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.

  3. I always felt that I came up short in the education department, but I've come to the conclusion that we all get an education.
  4. I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for perfection is God's business.
  5. I don't have a set of tenets, but I live an ethical life. I practice a humility that presupposes there's a power greater than myself. And I always believe, don't inflict harm where it's not necessary.
  6. I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in.
  7. I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.
  8. I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

  15. In my 50s I'll be dancing at my children's weddings.
  16. Life is the power that's greater than I can ever comprehend. The way life runs through everything, even the tiniest elements of nature - that makes me humble.
  17. Medical science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of disease can occur.
  18. My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.
  19. No, I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning, and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today's events and I read the paper every day, and we talk about it, so they see that appetite.
  20. There's always failure. And there's always disappointment. And there's always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.
  21. What other people think about me is not my business.
  22. Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.

 

  1. Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.

  14. The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
  15. Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.
  16. We always live in an uncertain world. What is certain is that the United States will go forward over time.
  17. We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
  18. We've used up a lot of bullets. And we talk about stimulus. But the truth is, we're running a federal deficit that's 9 percent of GDP. That is stimulative as all get out. It's more stimulative than any policy we've followed since World War II.
  19. When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.
  20. Why not invest your assets in the companies you really like? As Mae West said, 'Too much of a good thing can be wonderful'.
  21. You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.
  22. Your premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it's not going to get the business.

 

  1. A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.
  2. Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
  3. Either you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.
