Listen, I have a great affection and respect for Joe Biden. I think he's been a great vice president. He's taken on a lot of tough assignments for our administration.

I have never believed in the Wizard of Oz theory of consulting, that I am all-knowing and all-seeing, and that everyone around me is kind of a backbencher

Any time you have loose ballots, you have to worry about shenanigans. It's a shame such a hard-fought election has to come down to something like this.

I'm a kibitzer with a broad portfolio.

We don't want to go back to the same policies and practicies that drove our economy into a ditch, that punished the middle class, and that led to this catastrophe. We keep moving forward.

I think that more and more you're going to see people of good will on their side of the aisle say you know what, we got to get off the bus here, this is not headed in the right direction.

I think President Obama is a committed, practicing nonideologue. He's consumed by neither tactics nor ideology. He is more concerned about outcomes than he is about process and categorizations

I think those autoworkers whose industry would have collapsed if the president hadn't intervened are certainly better off.

This marketplace where people can buy insurance who don't have it today, a competitive marketplace - that's an idea that both sides embrace.

I think that the millions and millions of young Americans, young Americans, who have health care today, who wouldn't have had it if the president hadn't acted are better off.

I think the average American recognizes that it took years to create the crisis that erupted in 2008 and peaked in January of 2009. And it's going to take some time to work through it.

Whatsoever thing you believe strongly, it will be turned into truth within your mind.

No one could suspect the intricate mysteries of her heart.

Please don't smile like that. Your heart is full of feelings that you've kept to yourself. Don't laugh as if you don't know anything.

I have the body of a GOD

The coffee arrives, and we backslide into what lawyers do best---talking about other lawyers.

I think what is great is that if anything that I do is interesting to somebody else, then I really don't think it matters at all what I had originally intended.

We are seeing the birth of a new perspective of the world, where ecology and economics are two sides of the same coin.

The finest opportunity ever given to the world was thrown away because the passion of equality made vain the hope for freedom.

I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street.

Watch for all that beauty reflecting from you and sing a love song to your existence.
