In the true sense one's native land with its background of tradition early impressions reminiscences and other things dear to one is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.

My first holiday to San Francisco in 1998-99 was supposed to be a two-week vacation but I ended up staying five weeks and nearly didn't come home.

I'm actually graduating early. I got a lot of work done already. Being home schooled I have had a lot of tutors help me.

The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world but as in whispering galleries they are clearly heard at the end and by posterity.

The more the history of the World War and what led up to it is studied the more clearly those tragic years become revealed as a vast collapse of civilization.

My mother whom I love dearly has continually revised my life story within the context of a complicated family history that includes more than the usual share of divorce step-children dysfunction and obfuscation. I've spent most of my adult life attempting to deconstruct that history and separate fact from fiction.

If you read about Mussolini or Stalin or some of these other great monsters of history they were at it all the time that they were getting up in the morning very early. They were physically very active. They didn't eat lunch.

When it went on the air the sales department hated it. It was the highest advertising pullout show in the history of NBC. At the early focus groups people were saying 'Who are these people? Why should we watch them?

In my early 20s I studied history and politics and I really thought that perhaps I would devote my life to that.

I want to reform the tax code so that it's simple fair and asks the wealthiest households to pay higher taxes on incomes over $250 000 - the same rate we had when Bill Clinton was president the same rate we had when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs the biggest surplus in history and a lot of millionaires to boot.

In my view far from deserving condemnation for their courageous reporting the New York Times the Washington Post and other newspapers should be commended for serving the purpose that the Founding Fathers saw so clearly.

History is a vast early warning system.

I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.

The health care reform legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state's sovereignty.

In 2001 America 's hospitals provided nearly $21 billion in uncompensated health care services.

By the Obama administration's reasoning it would be constitutionally permissible to make Americans purchase nearly any product (broccoli gym membership) that improved their health and thereby contributed to lower health-care costs.

The biggest mistakes early on involved foreign policy and involved the strategy for health care.

In addition California spends nearly $1 billion a year in Medi-Cal services for an average of 780 000 illegal immigrants a month over and above emergency health services.

Research clearly shows us that the earlier women think about maintaining their bone mass and take the steps to do so the better their health will be in the long run.

I have a computer screen near my seat where I monitor the overall health of the vehicle and pick up any problems that might be occurring early on or once we see any kind of a malfunction or anything unusual that's happening we can look at the data and figure out what that is.

During my nearly five years as director-general of WHO high-level policymakers have increasingly recognized that health is central to sustainable development.

Health care comprises nearly 20 percent of our national economy but outdated bureaucracy and red tape have stifled competition and raised costs. As a result today more than 45 million are without any health coverage.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it read it thoroughly and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed.

I am interested in getting people to use the healthcare system at the right time getting them to see the doctor early enough before a small health problem turns serious.
