Throwing young people on the scrap heap is a public health emergency.

Health inequalities and the social determinants of health are not a footnote to the determinants of health. They are the main issue.

Empowerment of individuals and communities is absolutely central. Getting the community involved in organising their own destiny has got to be a key part of it.

We have to put reduction of health inequalities at the centre of our public health strategy and that will require action on the social determinants of health.

The lower you are in the hierarchy the worse your health, the higher you are, the better your health.

Saying we can't afford to invest in early child development means we're storing up bigger costs in the future.

Your position in the hierarchy influences your behaviour.

Once you get off the ladder you'll never get back on.

Health and health inequalities tell us a great deal about the good or bad effects of social policies.

General improvements in health/decline in mortality do not affect all classes equally. As mortality rates fall, social inequalities commonly widen.

Our elected politicians do what they judge is the right thing to do. And if we disagree then I'll show them the evidence of why I disagree.

It is so beautiful to see a relationship that is nourished and fueled by a love expressed with action.

When one person of whole nation fails to achieve his set goals, it influence the whole country.. That is why most of the countries are victim of terrorism, theft, snatching and etcetera

Members of the Senate and House, if they want to send troops into war, should be forced to send a family member. That would really make everyone stop and go, 'Ohhh-kaaay.'

No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.

All the great legends are Templates for human behavior. I would define a myth as a story that has survived.

Maybe we all need to leave our children with a value legacy, and not a financial one. A value for things with a personal touch - an autographed book, a soul-searching letter.

I still feel that I am in my prime right now but I think my best fights were in my thirties.

I don't miss my prayers and I don't miss my yoga. Those things are important to me.

There is a difference between giving directions and giving direction.
