But you say does it represent change? The change is that we are fighting an insurance industry that has killed health reform for generations. They're spending tens of millions of dollars right now to defeat this bill and we're on the doorstep of winning a great victory for the American people.
In the beginning when I sat next to Tom Brokaw on the 'Today' show the stories I was interested in were those having to do with women and children and learning and health. In those days 25 to 30 years ago that was called soft news and not in a nice way.
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.
Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.
As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall and increases but to decay.
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.
I'm beginning to understand myself. But it would have been great to be able to understand myself when I was 20 rather than when I was 82.
No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.
Material possessions winning scores and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.

The idea of winning a doctor's degree gradually assumed the aspect of a great moral struggle and the moral fight possessed immense attraction for me.
From the beginning there have been some religious leaders who greeted the funding of faith-based social services by government with ambivalence.
Conservatives are winning offices and champions of big government are cleaning out their desks right now.
The problem is that when government controls the economy those who can influence government keep winning and everybody else just stays the same.
And gradually they're beginning to recognize the fact that there's nothing more secure than a democratic accountable and participatory form of government. But it's sunk in only theoretically it has not yet sunk in completely in practical terms.
We are beginning a new era in our government. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the government.
The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.
Truth is the beginning of every good to the gods and of every good to man.
Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father a good teammate a good role model? There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed or are you not?
On the field I'm trying to play for the glory of God but then also I'm trying to give everything I have and win and compete. And so I think more than just winning or losing I think He cares about where our hearts are when we're playing.
