The slogan of the moderate Republican Party is this: we are rich, and we are not going to take it any more.

Inherited wealth, that is not what America is based upon.

Many injuries and deaths can be prevented through an understanding of the dangers of power lines, electrical appliances, extension cords, and lightning.

Let me say at the outset that I do not reflexively oppose international trade.

The alternative minimum tax was designed to prevent the very wealthiest Americans from overusing certain tax benefits to avoid most of their tax burden.

Unfortunately, more and more Muslim voices are calling for boycotts of the United States and its products.

Over the years, dozens of American companies have filed papers to trade in their U.S. corporate citizenship for citizenship in tax haven countries like Bermuda.

We should stop arguing about tax cuts in this town.

Fundamentally, I believe that the U.S. can improve its international standing and its national security by expanding trade and strengthening its relationships with moderate Muslim countries.

We could quite easily, Republicans and Democrats working together, do something that everybody in America desires, and that is a simplification of our Tax Code.

The number of electrical injuries cared for in hospitals in the US is estimated at as many as 50,000; the cost of these injuries on the US economy is estimated at over one billion dollars per year.

When I was 14, I tried to stab someone.

Only in America can a Barack Obama happen. Only in America can a Don King happen.

If a man is in need of rescue, an airplane can come in and throw flowers on him, and that's just about all. But a direct lift aircraft could come in and save his life.

I come from a middle class background. I have travelled a lot by trains and have lived in the world. It is a world I cannot get away from; I would not even want to.

The characters have their own lives and their own logic, and you have to act accordingly.

So, for me the town hall meetings are really an opportunity to engage in two-way dialogue with people, and they've been very helpful.

A useless life is an early death. [Ger., Ein unnutz Leben ist ein fruher Tod.]

Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make.

Meditation has been an anchor throughout my life - it helps me feel balance, connected and at peace.

I set out to really build this universe of interfaith connectedness, where people could see that other people in different parts of the world are very much like them.
