If the human condition were the periodic table maybe love would be hydrogen at No. 1. Death would be helium at No. 2. Power I reckon would be where oxygen is.

Vets do what doctors used to - diagnose the injury or the condition patch it up as best they can and remind you that these things happen and that in life we are also in the midst of death.

I can choose to accelerate my disease to an alcoholic death or incurable insanity or I can choose to live within my thoroughly human condition.

No society has been able to abolish human sadness no political system can deliver us from the pain of living from our fear of death our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition not vice versa.

The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'

Mom was the one who taught me unconditional love. With Dad I'd always felt there was something to live up to - expectations. But in the last year we had a wonderful relationship.

My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all - the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be and much less about what we would do.

Today because of President Obama's courage kids can stay on their parent's plan until they are 26. Insurers cannot kick you off your policy because you have hit your limit. They will not be able to deny you because you have a pre-existing condition.

I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.

I am a huge supporter for cash for caulkers - which allows people to make improvement for energy efficient in their homes. We should do the same for Americans purchasing appliances and computers and for that matter new air-conditioner and heating units.
