George W. Bush broke a mold four years ago: Even though he lost the popular vote, he governed as if he had won by acclamation.

The real sin with Social Security is that it's a long-term rip-off and a short-term scam.

The art of being sick is not the same as the art of getting well.

To have faith is to believe in truth, believe that truth confers special power on those lucky enough to get a little insight, and to know in our hearts that all these things come from God, which is why we should never get too cocky about our successes.

Today there are about 40 million retirees receiving benefits; by the time all the baby boomers have retired, there will be more than 72 million retirees drawing Social Security benefits.

The business of peace requires more than showing up with paint brushes, foodstuffs and an oil pipeline or two.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.
