A likely source for terrorists seeking to buy or steal nuclear materials is the former Soviet Union.

I can assure you, public service is a stimulating, proud and lively enterprise. It is not just a way of life, it is a way to live fully.

When you're talking with a person at this level of the government, at the very highest level, I think you have to be very discreet because he, President Clinton, is very aware that anything he says publicly can have a profound impact on American politics and on world politics.

So much of our attention is trained on the Middle East these days, but we cannot ignore East Asia.

China's ability to deliver nuclear warheads on American cities is expanding.

Foreign aid is neither a failure nor a panacea. It is, instead, an important tool of American policy that can serve the interests of the United States and the world if wisely administered.

Protecting Americans from nuclear terrorism rises above politics.

We cannot do everything in Africa, but doing nothing is not an option.

Democracy makes us articulate our views, defend them, and refine them.

The temptations are great to simply retreat to the domain of private life and give up on our public problems.

Our democracy is not a product but a continual process. It is preserved not by monuments but deeds. Sometimes it needs refining; sometimes it needs amending; sometimes it needs defending. Always, it needs improving.

Putting together a counter- terrorism policy, it's very easy to look at law enforcement or defense, military action or stopping the money flows or whatever, but the really difficult part is integrating all aspects of the policy, and I think she put a lot of emphasis on that.

We should insist that governments receiving American aid live up to standards of accountability and transparency, and we should support countries that embrace market reforms, democracy, and the rule of law.

Aid can work where there is good governance, and usually fails where governments are unable or unwilling to commit aid to improve the lives of their people.

The U.S. should support the historic Gaza withdrawal as a first step toward a final settlement: a permanent Palestinian state in Gaza and nearly all of the West Bank.

The U.S has acquired reservoirs of goodwill around the globe over many years. But it is clear - from polling data and ample anecdotal evidence - that America is losing its allure in much of the world.

Now the difficulty with those warnings is that they were not specific.

For decades the American people have had an addiction to oil and gas.

Democracy fascinates me.

Events often move faster than our ability to comprehend them.

President George W. Bush is the first American president to call openly for two-states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security.

You'll remember Dr. Rice said that several times: It was not a warning about the place and the method and the time - it was a general warning. And that points out the imperfection, if you would, of our intelligence.

Addressing global resentment cannot be put off. If we do not learn to use our predominant power with great restraint, we will antagonize the world.

One half of the world's people live on less than two dollars a day. This should concern our national security policy as well as our conscience.

But in the end our government usually - not unfailingly - is responsive to the people; and usually - not always - will try to do what is right.

This nation is never finished. It has to be re-created in each generation.

But despite this breathtaking pace, I believe in the capacity of our democracy to meet these challenges.

U.S. officials and outside experts agree that China is undertaking a comprehensive modernization of its military. The Chinese military has gotten smaller but smarter.

A likely source for terrorists seeking to buy or steal nuclear materials is the former Soviet Union.

I've made up my mind. I'll take my court martial.

If heaven really exists: then heaven is the job, hell is unemployment, while life is merely an interview.

I grew up with 'Cinderella.' So that was my go-to Disney film, definitely. It was princess-related, and coming from a smaller area in Illinois and wanting to do something greater than myself in Broadway, that was a film that I could really relate to.

One thing I've done in my life is train year-round to compete at anything, anything. I've got an invitation now to maybe be on the karate team for the Barcelona Olympics. I'm debating whether I want to do that. I just love to compete, and I want to win.

Part of the brilliance of Stieg Larsson's books is that they are so complex, so many different facets coming together.

So we used to look for funny songs, and learn them and play them. And we used to play them in pubs.

Rock n' roll is dirty, and it's bad, and it's either clever or it's not clever.

Eating is a necessity but a pleasure as well.

I read a newspaper article in May 1984 which predicted that syringes would one day be a major cause of the transmission of HIV. It was what I had been waiting for - a project that had a lot of the things that I liked: problem-solving, product design, campaigning, and being a bit of a big mouth pain-in-the-bum.

I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.

Teens want to read something that isn't a lie; we adults wish we could put our heads under the blankets and hide from the scary story we're writing for our kids.

Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or wellbred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.

I went to see 'Phantom of the Opera' with my grandma and my mom when I was very little. The stage, the voice, the music... Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been a massive inspiration to me for some time - the storytelling, that deliciously somber undertone in his music.

For much of my life there was no place where the things I wanted to investigate were of interest to anyone.

You know, I always wondered what it would have been like to just go to school, play football with the guys and go to the prom. Just like a 'regular person.'

A lot of young people don't think they can make a difference. That's really what I am at Dartmouth to do. I'm there to tell the young people, 'Look, a few committed souls can change the world.'

There is nothing to seek and nothing to find. We leap into the dark only to discover how firmly we are rooted in the ground.

There just aren't that many Jesus roles around.

First off let me say, I've wanted to be an actress since I was a little girl.

Success is something you attract by the person you become.
