Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.

Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.

People's minds are changed through observation and not through argument.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.

But do not understand me as saying, or for one moment suggesting, that women legislators should confine themselves to doing only social service work. Not at all.

I cannot doubt that women will line up, like the men elected, with the groups whose political thinking and convictions are in accord with their own political convictions.

The farm women are extremely well organized and are bound to be heard from.

I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.

If we are to attract private investment, if we are to be able to make the legislature feel the moneys from taxpayers are being used properly, we must be ever vigilant of the duty to efficiently use all funds we receive.

It took the United States until 1920 to give women the franchise and another 40 or 50 years to start utilizing women's potential. How many women of incredible potential did we fail and what achievements were lost to all because we never tapped that potential?

Index investing outperforms active management year after year.

Bottoms in the investment world don't end with four-year lows; they end with 10- or 15-year lows.

If there is a doubt, I believe that I must put myself forward and undergo the people's judgment.

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.

January 30th will be a historic day for the Middle East and the world. The Iraqi people will take the next step toward a free and democratic society as they place their votes for a transitional Iraqi government.

American POWs from the last Iraq war, who were held prisoner and tortured by Iraq, are now being prevented by our government from suing the Iraqis who tortured them.

We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn't always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.

They wrapped her up like a baby burrito to show to Mom. Here were a mother and her daughter and I love them both so much. I couldn't wait for Courtney to come to the hospital so I could have all my women together.
