Anywhere you have extreme poverty and no national health insurance no promise of health care regardless of social standing that's where you see the sharp limitations of market-based health care.

After a century of striving after a year of debate after a historic vote health care reform is no longer an unmet promise. It is the law of the land.

I've made a promise to myself to be a 100% healthy person if nothing else.

I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy even in bad circumstances.

How can you tell somebody whose is pursuing happiness that they're somehow not American when that was the very first promise that America made?

If virtue promises happiness prosperity and peace then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us progress is always an approach toward it.

As a child I was a great liar. Fortunately my mother liked my lies. I promised her marvelous things.

Our promise to our children should be this: if you do well in school we will pay for you to obtain a college degree.

I promised to empower the taxpayer - instead of a handful of big government union bosses.

One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people - and not the other way around.
