“So much of modern politics is focused not on honest differences of policy but on personal attacks.”

The problem with any ideology is that it gives you the answer before you examine the evidence.

Our bridge to the future must include bridges to other nations, because we remain the world’s indispensable nation to advance prosperity, peace and freedom and to keep our own children safe from the dangers of terror and weapons of mass destruction.

If we want to invest in the prosperity of our nation, we must invest in the education of our children so that their talents may be fully employed.

Indeed, I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong.

I can spend your money better than you can.

The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth.

Work is about more than making a living, as vital as that is. It’s fundamental to human dignity, to our sense of self-worth as useful, independent, free people.

When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable.

There is nothing more precious to a parent than a child, and nothing more important to our future than the safety of all our children.

Leadership means bringing people together in pursuit of a common cause, developing a plan to achieve it, and staying with it until the goal is achieved.

Yesterday is yesterday. If we try to recapture it, we will only lose tomorrow.

I admire that about the Republicans: The evidence does not faze them. They are not bothered at all by the facts.

We cannot idealize technology. Technology is only and always the reflection of our own imagination, and its uses must be conditioned by our own values. Technology can help cure diseases, but we can prevent a lot of diseases by old-fashioned changes in behavior.

There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.

When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it. That’s what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we’re going to have weapon sweeps.

I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.

Welcome everything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.

Life is a series of desires and attachments.

Attachment nourishes our Ego.

Minimalism is clearing your mind of attachments and focusing on what matters most.

People’s hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

You hurt different when you really care about someone.

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
