And I have to say what motivates me every day and I know my Democratic colleagues is to remember that every day 14 000 people get up in the morning with insurance that go to bed at night without it and most of them because they lost their job.

Stood off and on during the night determining not to come to anchor till morning fearing to meet with shoals continued our course in the morning and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant and the tide was against us it was noon when we arrived there.

For some students school is the only place where they get a hot meal and a warm hug. Teachers are sometimes the only ones who tell our children they can go from an Indian reservation to the Ivy League from the home of a struggling single mom to the White House.

Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother.

In the Radiation Laboratory we count it a privilege to do everything we can to assist our medical colleagues in the application of these new tools to the problems of human suffering.

Finish last in your league and they call you idiot. Finish last in medical school and they call you doctor.

I am honored that my freshman class colleagues have put their trust in me to represent our historic class at the leadership table. The incoming freshman class of Representatives is large and diverse but we share many common goals including cutting wasteful spending getting our economy back on track and making government smarter and more efficient.

For many members of Congress the time for choosing is near - do what the party leadership demands or do what the people have asked you to do. If my colleagues don't mind some advice from a newcomer I'd suggest going with the will of the people.

We're in a leadership position in sports. People look up to the National Football League.

I and my colleagues here have been engaged in the pursuit of knowledge.

I have a great advantage over many of my colleagues inasmuch as my students bring with them to class their own personal knowledge of national regional religious ethnic occupational and family folklore traditions.

I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference each voice is heard but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved.

I'm not the smartest fellow in the world but I can sure pick smart colleagues.

Major league baseball has asked its players to stop tossing baseballs into the stands during games because they say fans fight over them and they get hurt. In fact the Florida Marlins said that's why they never hit any home runs. It's a safety issue.

It took a while for me to grasp that my colleagues believe I have made an impact on the history of cinema.

The lack of health care coverage has remained very important to me during my time in Congress and as a member of the House Subcommittee on Health I am working hard with my colleagues to correct these inequalities.

As the National Football League and other pro sports increasingly reckon with the early dementia mental health issues suicides and even criminal behavior of former players the risk of what's known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is becoming clear.

I can only point out a curious fact. Year after year the Nobel Awards bring a moment of happiness not only to the recipients not only to colleagues and friends of the recipients but even to strangers.

The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.

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.

I clearly believe a lot more than some of my coalition colleagues - Tories - in redistribution and using the tax system for that purpose. I also believe in the government having an active role in the economy which is having an industrial strategy. I'm not a believer in laissez-faire.

Most of the press is in league with government or with the status quo.

Just think of what Woodrow Wilson stood for: he stood for world government. He wanted an early United Nations League of Nations. But it was the conservatives Republicans that stood up against him.

Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.
