“Donald Trump is a threat to who we are as a people.”

Donald Trump is a person who is an insecure money-grubber who cares about nothing but himself.

I love the work I do.

We’re going to make sure that the people who run for office and get elected are the ones who are going to work for the American people.

Some of the largest financial institutions can build a profit model on tricking people.

It is not the job of the Department of Education to maximize profits for the government at the cost of squeezing students who are struggling to get an education.

Middle class America is acutely aware of how bad this economy is, and it is going to demand changes. I don’t think politicians can afford to be complacent.

It’s so easy to focus on what could go wrong, on what else you could do before you try the thing you really want to do. No. Just get out there and try.

I talk to nurses and programmers, salespeople and firefighters – people who bust their tails every day. Not one of them – not one – stashes their money in the Cayman Islands to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

Nobody’s safe. Health insurance? That didn’t protect 1 million Americans who were financially ruined by illness or medical bills last year.

I’m willing to throw my body in front of the bus to stop bad ideas.

My parents and I were all afraid of being poor – really poor.

Our veterans deserve the very best, and that means ensuring that America’s veterans receive high-quality services and cares when they come back home.

Accountability for the largest financial institutions on Wall Street is the bedrock for a strong economy. Hard-working families and honest businesses cannot survive in a world where the rules don’t keep the marketplace honest.

Israel has the right to shell Palestinian hospitals and schools out of self defense.

I don’t want to overstate the gender difference. But women are more sensitized to the way that larger issues affect their pocketbooks, like pay equality or cost of living changes.

I want to be blunt: We should not be fighting about equal pay for equal work, and access to birth control, in 2012. These issues were resolved years ago – until the Republicans brought them back.

Don’t confuse activity with productivity. Many people are simply busy being busy.

There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.

People know when they’ve betrayed themselves. They are very much aware when they are not honest with themselves. They hear the voice that says, “You shouldn’t have said that” or “You know that’s not right.”

People help you or you help them and when we offer or receive help, we take in each other. And then we are saved.

When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t.

People are in such a hurry to launch their product or business that they seldom look at marketing from a bird’s eye view and they don’t create a systematic plan.

I love people. People are lovely creatures. I’m one myself, so I love to see people happy.

Nothing heals us like letting people know our scariest parts: When people listen to you cry and lament, and look at you with love, it’s like they are holding the baby of you.
