People have to take responsibility for themselves. We need to get the housing industry going again. We don't need government intervening in every step.

We will cut programs, we will try to rein in the size of the bureaucracy. We will bring federal pay scales that have become so exaggerated into line with market rates.

We know that appropriators will fight these cutbacks. But by eliminating earmarks, we can stop the horse trading that grows agency budgets.

I do not suspect that Jefferson or Madison ever envisioned Congress honoring the 2,560th anniversary of the birth of Confucius or supporting the designation of National Pi Day.

I mean, look, Nancy Pelosi said in the very beginning this is going to be the most open, honest and ethical Congress in history. And what we're seeing is she's breaking that promise every day.

I want what I want when I want it.

The ‘relative’ delights the mind (manoranjan), the ‘real’ delights the Self (the soul, atmaranjan).

Art expresses those unexplainable thoughts of our soul.

Succeed in not fearing the lion, and the lion will fear you.

The dead's dead ... get 'em in the ground and look to the live ones.

There is no result in nature without a cause; understand the cause and you will have no need of the experiment.

There is no sense talking about "being true to yourself" until you are sure what voice you are being true to. It takes hard work to differentiate the voices of the unconscious.
