It is important for women to have a choice to have an opportunity to plan their families because if they don't the Republicans have said this is an ownership society. You are on your own and they're going to begrudge that child everything from WIC to a Pell Grant to health insurance.

To do what we are doing in this budget to our children cutting their health care funds decreasing opportunity simply so we can pay for tax cuts and a war in Iraq is beyond belief and we need to reverse it.

When the Nobel award came my way it also gave me an opportunity to do something immediate and practical about my old obsessions including literacy basic health care and gender equity aimed specifically at India and Bangladesh.

We know that there are significant health benefits from consuming more fruits and vegetables and that's an opportunity for us to sort of move away from some of the meals that we've been preparing in the past.

For the last 3 years we have celebrated National Nurses Week. Beginning on May 6 we will once again have the opportunity to truly commend the nursing community for their contributions to our national health delivery system.

Healing is a matter of time but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

I learned that people everywhere are basically the same and have similar goals that we do. They want health and happiness and the opportunity to provide for their families.

Inside every adult there's still a child that lingers. We're happiness merchants - giving people the opportunity to dream like children.

As long as I am given the opportunity to keep performing and keep exploring in whatever medium I'll be happy. As long as I get to spend time with my family I'll be happy. As long as I can write in some form I'll be happy. It is the essential things like that I equate with happiness.

To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it is the key to happiness.

I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.

The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are.

Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.

No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.

I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also the people I met at the university most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

The labour movement had the best opportunity in 50 years to transform not merely an industrial situation and win an important battle for workers in struggle but an opportunity to change the government of the day.

The government I led gave ordinary people peace security dignity and opportunity to progress.

I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.

The office of government is not to confer happiness but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.

I pinch myself because of the understanding that I've been blessed with a real rare opportunity that few Americans ever get - to serve their government and their people at this level.

And I can tell you that history will back up what I'm about to say and that is that there is no government run by conservatives Republicans put whoever you want there if you give government the opportunity to spend more money than it has it will do it. It will do it every time.

We got rid of a terrible dictator. We gave the Iraqi people an opportunity for a new life under a representative form of government.

Do we believe that the goal of government is to promote equal opportunity for all Americans to make the most of their lives? Or do we now believe that government's role is to equalize the results of peoples lives?
