I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it's one that's easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.
There is a consensus of willing leaders from both parties coalescing around the right way forward in health care. Reform should address government-imposed inequities and barriers to true choice and competition.
In securing the future of the planet we secure happiness for ourselves. One of the aims of the Greens is to turn around the tide of pessimism amongst the young people of the world.
One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings but then you've got another show to do - whatever moment of success or happiness you have you've got to keep grinding it out for the next day.
I don't get a sense of American pride. I just get a sense that everyone is here battling the same thing - that around the world everybody's after the same thing just some minor piece of happiness each day.
This nation is notorious for its ability to make or fake anything cheaply. 'Made-in-China' goods now fill homes around the world. But our giant country has a small problem. We can't manufacture the happiness of our people.
You know I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness lest things change around. But I feel that it's okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy.
We all have a hungry heart and one of the things we hunger for is happiness. So as much as I possibly could I stayed where I was happy. I spent a great deal of time in my younger years just writing and reading walking around the woods in Ohio where I grew up.
This happiness consisted of nothing else but the harmony of the few things around me with my own existence a feeling of contentment and well-being that needed no changes and no intensification.
Live by this credo: have a little laugh at life and look around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter has always brought me out of unhappy situations.
Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.
I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that so really I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.
Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.
I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat obedient loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.
To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.
I think in a way I invented the term 'fight club' and that these things have always existed but they never really had a label. Nobody had a language to apply to them. I created that language in two words and I've been paid a great deal of money for inventing two words and labeling something that has always been around.
Seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around us but they only take root in minds well prepared to receive them.
I have great people smart people that are around me and we love the challenge. I guess it's like climbing a mountain or building a building. It's a challenge but you love every challenge that it brings or presents itself.
I was on the yearbook staff so I would take out film cameras and Nikons and take photos around school and at sporting events and things like that. We had a darkroom as well. I just loved it. I also saved up for a video camera to video my friends and cut and paste the videos together and I gave them to all of my friends for graduation.
One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people - and not the other way around.
If you have a government that is elected they need to do the hard work - because if they don't they won't be around the next time the ballot box is open.
If you seek Hamilton's monument look around. You are living in it. We honor Jefferson but live in Hamilton's country a mighty industrial nation with a strong central government.
People in government and public life are being kicked around at a high rate of speed.
I believed the only thing that could turn around this government spending and mounting debt would be if the people rose up.
There is no better than adversity. Every defeat every heartbreak every loss contains its own seed its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
