President Obama's fight for rural America is personal. He was raised by a single mom and grandparents from Kansas. He hails from a farming state Illinois.

I'm ridiculous in my oversharing my mom and sister are very open but a little more judicious than me... and my father is a decidedly private person.

I don't drink and I don't smoke. It's a personal preference. My mom has never drunk or smoked. I look up to my mom.

I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person which makes me a better mom. I feel lucky because I have the luxury of working only one or two days a week.

My parents are wonderful and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person. She goes completely on her feelings of things on her intuition and so she instilled that in my brothers and I.

My mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist you know? She used to like to tell people she wanted to be Beethoven's mother. That was her thing. She wanted to be the mother of this person.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

A guy is a lump like a doughnut. So first you gotta get rid of all the stuff his mom did to him. And then you gotta get rid of all that macho crap that they pick up from beer commercials. And then there's my personal favorite the male ego.

My mother was a personal friend of God's. They had ongoing conversations.

Throughout my life my mom has been the person that I've always looked up to.

The greater intellect one has the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages personal relations and multi-tasking but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.

To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.

A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Personally I like two types of men - domestic and foreign.

I think the part of media that romanticizes criminal behavior things that a person will say against women profanity being gangster having multiple children with multiple men and women and not wanting to is prevalent. When you look at the majority of shows on television they placate that kind of behavior.

Libertarians argue that no normal adult has the right to impose choices on other normal adults except in abnormal circumstances such as when one person finds another unconscious and administers medical assistance or calls an ambulance.

The technology used to detect if vehicles are carrying radioactive material is so sensitive it can tell if a person recently received radiation as part of a medical procedure.

Nobody could tell us or really had a very good idea if there were a massive release of radiation what kind of medical treatment people were going to need and this or that or indeed whether there would be medical personnel around.

That's the thing. in medicine you're used to saying there's a problem within the person and saying there's a problem within the culture that's not a medical answer. Medicine has to look in one direction so there's only one type of answer that they can find.

For many people managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy acupuncture yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind body and spirit.

Only after I faced the unhappiness of my first marriage did I start on the path of personal growth.
