“Pundits talk about ‘populist rage’ as a way to trivialize the anger and fear coursing through the middle class.”

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.

The people on Wall Street broke this country, and they did it one lousy mortgage at a time. It happened more than three years ago, and there has been no real accountability, and there has been no real effort to fix it.

Money is bounded; we only have so much of it. Love goes on forever.

The credit card companies have put the loan sharks out of business.

I don’t like credit cards. They make overspending very easy. They can make life a lot more complex and stressful.

Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God Bless, keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and paid forward for the next kid who comes along.

I’m proud of my Native American heritage.

Being Native American has been part of my story I guess since the day I was born.

When conservatives talk about opportunity, they mean opportunities for the rich to get richer, for the powerful to get more powerful.

I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever.’ No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own – nobody.

Why do we hold onto negativity? For some reason, we believe that others are affected by our experience of remaining upset, hurt or angry. Holding on to pain, anger, guilt or shame is the glue that binds us to the situation we want to escape.

Anger and anger can not solve any problem.

A man says to me, ‘Can you explain the seven trumpets of the Revelation?’ No, but I can blow one in your ear, and warn you to escape from the wrath to come.

The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of ‘Women’s Rights’. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.

Shouting has never made me understand anything.

Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue… and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.

The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.

How can you frighten a man whose hunger is not only in his own cramped stomach but in the wretched bellies of his children? You can’t scare him–he has known a fear beyond every other.
