There has been a huge attack against private sector unions. Actually, that’s been going on since the Second World War.

When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don’t think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved.

Everyone must be proactive and do all they can to help themselves to stay employed.

Lincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.

OVOXO will always be there.

Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don’t know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

I have no further use for America. I wouldn’t go back there if Jesus Christ was President.

Grief changes shape, but it never ends.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

This administration is going to be cussed and discussed for years to come.

If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president’s.

If segregationists had their way, I would not be a member of the United States Senate today, I would not be a top contender to be president of the United States.

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.

As president, I’m committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.

Many people, including some conservatives, have been very impressed with how brainy the president and his advisers are. But that is not quite as reassuring as it might seem.

I have the people behind me and the people are my strength.

At the end of the day, your fans are the people who support you in and out. And their opinions matter.

I knew through the surgeries that he was on my side and that this wasn’t something where I was gonna feel less of a woman, because my husband wasn’t gonna let that happen.

When younger writers and poets, musicians and painters are weakened by a stemming of funds, they come to me saddened, not as full of dreams and excitement and ideas. I am then weakened and diminished, and made less rich.

What you guys want, I’m for.

My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.

I hate to see anybody sink. I hate to see anybody lose their dream, lose their home, something like that.

We have an obligation to help people that cannot help themselves. The mentally retarded, the physically retarded, et cetera.

Tonight – to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans – I ask for your support.

Look, when you’re the president, there’s all kinds of things said about us. I mean, it’s just the nature of the job.

That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.

The President’s post should not be politicised. Once a president is elected, he is above politics.

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.

Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.

Many people, especially young people, would like to be more independent and on their own. But it is very difficult and they suffer from feelings of isolation. I think that is one reason why young readers support my work.

Irrespective of age, we mourn for those loved and lost. Mourning is one of the deepest expressions of pure love.

I have decided in 2020 to run for president.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

Listen, I think that people want a president who is going to be interested in the things that keep them up at night, the things that are weighing on them, the things that are debilitating and can be addressed.

When Reagan left office, he was the most unpopular living president, apart from Nixon, even below Carter. If you look at his years in office, he was not particularly popular. He was more or less average. He severely harmed the American economy.

The memory of that scene for me is like a frame of film forever frozen at that moment: the red carpet, the green lawn, the white house, the leaden sky. The new president and his first lady.

If you are full of motivation as a player, if you are full of concentration, I am open arms.

The reason that I’m here at all is because of my relationship with my family and their encouragement of me to be a musician and to work hard. As long as I stay there in that space, I can do anything. That’s my truth.

When you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you’re doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she’s doing.

Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terrorism have reduced the pace of military transformation and have revealed our lack of preparation for defensive and stability operations. This Administration has overextended our military.
