I have worked with Presidents since Eisenhower. We serve together.

Nobody in this country realizes that cap-and-trade is a tax - and it's a great big one.

Living wild species are like a library of books still unread. Our heedless destruction of them is akin to burning the library without ever having read its books.

Mr. Dingell is just plain Mr. Dingell. And when he gets to be chairman of the Commerce Committee, he doesn't let it go to his head. However, he thinks he would be a very, very good chairman.

If the president is failing to disclose material facts with regard to legislation being presented to the Congress on a question as important as war and peace, I think it does impair the level of trust that the House and the Senate have for this administration.

To go to war, you must always think of, can you win?

I think we will begin to see some real efforts made to do things like protecting Social Security and Medicare.

This is one of the major problems we have. By the way, it was endorsed by leadership on both sides of the aisle and both ends of the Capitol, by the NRA and also by the gun control groups.

The mistake that was made was, of course, leaving Saddam in charge of affairs over there.

The Democratic Party is a house of many mansions. It is a body which is extremely important in representing all kinds of people in all parts of the country who have very broad and very different views.

I'm very close to suggesting that Mr. Pitt has now served as long as he can usefully do so. He seems to take his foot out of his mouth only for purposes of changing feet.

I have worked with Presidents since Eisenhower. We serve together.

The Democratic Party needs to look carefully at moving towards the middle, where the American people are.

I still think it would be a great mistake to go into a war without support of our friends and allies.

If we're going to spend a lot of money to deal with the problem of 200 million guns in the country owned by 65 million gun owners, we ought to have a system which will work and catch criminals.

Everything in our foreign and domestic policy is a question of issue for the American people to vote on.

Prediction? The Democrats will win. I think it will be a close win, both for the House and for the Senate.

If you talk to any of my Democratic colleagues who lost that year, they would tell that gun control was one of the major contributory factors in the loss of their seats.

I'll look and pick the best, and the one who can do the best job for the party.

The Congress has now become a fairly evenly divided entity.

This is the worst administration since Caligula.

I can support going in after Saddam Hussein, but I want to make sure I don't go alone.

I'm Polish, I carry no grudges.

I have enormous respect for Tom Daschle. The NRA has not yet taken a formal position on which I'm aware of on this matter, and I think Tom may be just getting a little ahead of things.

If we're going to change the laws, let's change them in ways which makes it easier to catch criminals, and yet at the same time protect the Second Amendment rights of our law-abiding citizens.

War is failure of diplomacy.

I'm a choreographer and I love watching 'The Bachelorette.'

I have a rule: I will not alter the basic history of a real-life character to suit our fictional needs in a big way.

I have been a fan of Versace for so long, watching people like Biggie, Puff, Jay-Z.

I love caper films.

I consider myself kind of a reporter - one who uses words that are more like music and that have a choreography. I never think of myself as a poet; I just get up and write.

The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.

I don't have feeling in my feet to my fingertips; I also have active lesions in my bone marrow and in my eyes.

What we dwell on much with our mind sinks into our heart and shapes our life.

The great test of life is to see whether we will hearken to and obey God's commands in the midst of the storms of life. It is not to endure storms, but to choose the right while they rage.

These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.

There is something in this world that every individual can do. God has created all of us with something unique to contribute.

It's not long-term debt if the money is immediately paid back.

The best is yet to be.

Women were gravitating towards him from all directions like a planetary orbit.

Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak. Non-violence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win.

It is not necessarily true that expensive experiments are not worthwhile doing but there are plenty of rather cheap experiments which are certainly worth doing.

Probably the first time I left Italy was to travel by train to Lourdes. I went with my mother and my grandmother - who was a very religious person - so it was a pilgrimage of sorts. I remember it as a very intense, but beautiful experience.

I refuse the compliment that I think like a man, thought has no sex, one either thinks or one does not.

God bless Africa, Guard her people, Guide her leaders, And give her peace.

The life of an ant and the life of my child should be accorded equal respect.

Roads do not upgrade or maintain themselves. Bridges do not repair themselves or rebuild themselves.

I don't have time to have friends come and stay, except on weekends in Maine. I invite a lot of people to come to Maine.

Aging gracefully is about no heavy makeup, and not too much powder because it gets into the wrinkles, and, you know, to not get turtle eyelids and to not try to look young.
