On the one hand the guns were there to help capture the imagination of the people. But more important since we knew that you couldn't observe the police without guns we took our guns with us to let the police know that we have an equalizer.

I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.

Honest good humor is the oil and wine of a merry meeting and there is no jovial companionship equal to that where the jokes are rather small and laughter abundant.

I set records that will never be equaled. In fact I hope 90% of them don't even get printed.

For me Barack Obama's election was a milestone of the most extraordinary kind. On the day he was elected I felt such hope in my heart. I thought we were seeing the beginning of a new era of equal opportunity across race and gender such as America had never known before.

When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have it is a world that moves away from unequal unstable unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities - locally nationally and globally - that share the characteristics of all successful communities.

A whole stack of memories never equal one little hope.

Mr. Bean is at his best when he is not using words but I am equally at home in both verbal and nonverbal expression.

The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's.
