Actually criminal sanctions that are given could be up to five years for violating the rules and regulations under the campaign finance reform. This is like the Alien and Sedition Act of years and years ago decades ago.
And I think it's a prudent responsible way given the scale of the emergency the scale of the damage still facing America that we finance these additional support for the unemployed as well as the support for small business. We think there's a good case for doing it now. We want to do it in an overall fiscally responsible way.
I have no doubt that given a real choice the vast majority of Muslims and Arabs like everyone else will choose a free society over a fear society.
I was kind of surprised to learn how controlling I am. I never thought of myself in that way. I think the root of the control issues is usually fear because you want to know what's going to be happening at any given moment.
I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one that is in the power of any man to perform in the given time-but it is too late to go back.
We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means we hang on to them and often forget the ends.
I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes the famous and the unknown who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy.
Given my last position that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.
I'm thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that not only myself but my family and the people around me have just been regular people which we are.
No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family what have you really accomplished?
Faith given back to us after a night of doubt is a stronger thing and far more valuable to us than faith that has never been tested.
I'm a lapsed Quaker. I don't go to meetings any more. But I'm very drawn to Catholicism - all that glitter. I'd love to be a Catholic. I think it would be fantastic - faith forgiveness absolution extreme unction - all these wonderful words. I don't think anyone who was ever born a Catholic hasn't died a Catholic no matter how lapsed they are.
Therefore the church is not absolutely necessary as an object of faith not even for us today for then Abraham and the other prophets would not have given assent to those things which were revealed to them from God without any intervening help of the church.
Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith about being held about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
Well I've never left my faith - but have I made a lot of mistakes? But was I fortunate that I was brought up in that Pentecostal church where I heard about God's love and God's forgiveness.
I am shy to admit that I have followed the advice given all those years ago by a wise archbishop to a bewildered young man: that moments of unbelief 'don't matter ' that if you return to a practice of the faith faith will return.
From those to whom much is given much is expected. I have been given much - the love of my family the faith and trust of the people of New York and the chance to lead this state. I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me.
All great enterprises have a pearl of faith at their core and this must be ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That addressed as free-born autonomous men and women of God-given dignity they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy.
In the evening of life we shall be judged on love and not one of us is going to come off very well and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.
Forgiveness is like faith. You have to keep reviving it.
Directly after the show people might have responded better to it but who really knows. It did what it did and while it seems like a failure to most but it was a success for me and has given me so many opportunities.
The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain without a thought being given to the real strong hold.
I read less and less. I have not forgiven books for their failure to tell me the truth and make me happy.
He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.
