people anarchy arena
And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this - this (chuckles slightly) is working very well for them.
writing worry people
Everything I worry about would be better if more people could read, write and comprehend.
people good-things changed
Life has changed enormously, and I hope - I hope more people read good things.
good-luck people judgement
Why be afraid of what people will say? Those who care about you will say, Good luck! and those who care only about themselves will never say anything worth listening to anyway.
country writing people
If more people could read, write, and comprehend, we could be much closer to solving so many of the other problems our country faces today.
women people parent
Bias has to be taught. If you hear your parents downgrading women or people of different backgrounds, why, you are going to do that.
hair worry people
People who worry about their hair all the time, frankly, are boring.
mean rights people
I'm a liberal when it comes to human rights, the poor; so's George Bush. . . . But Liberal and Conservative don't mean much to me anymore. Does that mean we care about people and are interested and want to help? And if that makes you a Liberal, so be it.
feels heart less room sitting
When your heart feels as if it is sitting in your stomach, there is less room for food.
writing discipline shapes
To this day George Sr. is the soft touch and I'm the enforcer. I'm the one who writes them a letter and says 'Shape up!' He writes, 'You're marvelous.'
years important firsts
I'm a great believer that the most important years are the sort of early years but the preschool years and then into the first and second grades. If you get a good base in the first and second grade and you can read, you can do anything.
jobs boredom may
One thing I can say about George... he may not be able to keep a job, but he's not boring.
interesting political trying
The state dinner is almost a formula, but you try to make it interesting. You try not to overload it with too many political types. You try to get a cross section.
opinion should conventions
The personal things should be left out of, in my opinion, out of platforms and conventions.
