I agree with just about everyone in the reform debate when they say 'If you like what you have you should be able to keep it.' But the truth is that none of the health reform bills making their way through Congress actually delivers on that promise.

We all agree that its fit to be as Happy as we can and we need no Instructor to teach us this Knowledge 'tis born with us and is inseparable from our Being but we very much need to be Inform'd what is the true Way to Happiness.

My whole thing is to agree to disagree and to have respect because nothing can really be changed and you wouldn't want to ruin their happiness - even if that happiness is ignorance.

Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness and only what is useless is pleasurable.

Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another.

I protest that if some great Power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right on condition of being turned into a sort of clock and would up every morning before I got out of bed I should instantly close with the offer.

I do not want people to be very agreeable as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will.

I disagree with a lot of those changes however at the end of the day - I go down to recruit graduation at least once or twice a year.

Even though I disagree with many of the changes when I see the privates graduate at the end of the day when they walk off that drill field at the end of the ceremony they are still fine privates outstanding well motivated privates.
