My favorite time in the cycles of public life is the time when the Pope is dead and they haven’t elected a new one. There’s no one in the world who is infallible for those weeks. And you know, I don’t miss it.

The wheel is come full circle.

It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put – without delay, and with tenderness – back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.

The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.

An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.

No book includes the entire world. It’s limited. And so it doesn’t seem like an aesthetic compromise to have to do that. There’s so much other material to write about.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.

Exposure from a young age to the realities of the world is a super-big thing.

When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe.

It is comforting to reflect that the disproportion of things in the world seems to be only arithmetical.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

The darkness is really out there. It’s not something that’s in my head, just. It’s in my work because it’s in the world.

The world has crafted a beautiful balance of collective action – common but differentiated responsibility and respective capabilities.

Personal success or personal satisfaction are not worth another thought if one does achieve them, or worth worrying about if they evade one or are slow in coming. All that is really worth while is action – faithful action, for the world, and in God.

If everybody that voted in 2008 shows up in 2010, we will win this election. We will win this election.

Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.

Don’t let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.

The longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself.

All the top players in the world play 45-50-60 games. You need that many games, even the strikers need that many games.

My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.

Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.

The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.

I am so tired of fear. And I don’t want my girls to live in a country, in a world, based on fear.

Once elected, the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error. God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope.

Meanwhile, fears of universal disaster sank to an all time low over the world.

There is not a truth existing which I fear… or would wish unknown to the whole world.

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years.

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world… Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.

The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

Democracy don’t rule the world, You’d better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that’s better left unsaid.

The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.

Look at the world. There is no pure competitor to the United States of America.

Being elected to Congress, though I am very grateful to our friends for having done it, has not pleased me as much as I expected.

Our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan.

I just owe almost everything to my father and it’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.

We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated.

You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author’s world.

It is easy to dismiss the world as ‚irrelevant,‘ or consumed by ‚paranoid anti-Americanism,‘ but perhaps not wise.

And frankly, I don’t understand – I mean, I’m obviously a card-carrying Democrat – but I can’t understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney, except maybe Mrs. Romney.

Fiction is such a world of freedom, it’s wonderful. If you want someone to fly, they can fly.

Winning the election is a good-news, bad-news kind of thing. Okay, now you’re the mayor. The bad news is, now you’re the mayor.

There are some loony people in this world!

Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old.

I have decided in 2020 to run for president.

Hate and force cannot be in just a part of the world without having an effect on the rest of it.

Nothing in the world is irreversible, not even capitalism.

There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view.

The most important question in the world is, ‚Why is the child crying?‘

America… just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.

I happen to believe there is evil in the world.

A candidate is not going to suddenly change once they get into office. Just the opposite, in fact. Because the minute that individual takes that oath, they are under the hottest, harshest light there is. And there is no way to hide who they really are.

They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong.

As I have done in every election since I started voting so many years ago, I always like to take my time and examine the two candidates, see not only the two candidates but the policies they will bring in, the people they will bring in, who they might appoint to the Supreme Court, and look at the whole range of issues before making a decision.
