Yesterday in this country we had people die of hunger and malnutrition. In some parts of this country, the infant mortality rate rivals that of sub-Saharan Africa. We have a public education system that ranks below that of almost any other Western nation. ~By Alcee Hastings ~
People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know. ~By Ringo Starr ~

Well, you know, I have always had an issue with the whole weight thing with people in general because I happen to love how big women look. I mean, it's all a perspective.

There are bad people who would be less dangerous if they were quite devoid of goodness. ~By Francois de La Rochefoucauld ~

You can't imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there's no theory. There's a little, wimpy box on top there. ~By Jeff Hawkins ~
You have to treat people gently because we're all in a process. What might seem like a good idea to somebody at 21 is probably not going to seem like a good idea at 50, but you don't know that until you get there. ~By Amy Grant ~
Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer. ~By Viggo Mortensen ~

I was critical of the Israeli government, however, for not being prepared for the move. One does not uproot thousands of people without planning in advance what will be done with them. This was a political and human error in which the government functioned poorly. ~By Norman Lamm ~
A people that has experienced all that the Germans have been through, naturally offers fertile soil for the extremists. ~By Gustav Stresemann ~
