The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written.

Well I'll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.

I do not believe in God his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp I learned to believe in men.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung and bled and died it was God saying to the world 'I love you.'

The secret of improved plant breeding apart from scientific knowledge is love.

When my job was attempting to predict future economic developments for the Shell oil company I was frequently reminded of an Arabic saying: 'Those who claim to foresee the future are lying even if by chance they are later proved right.'

The Republican argument that raising the debt ceiling encourages additional future spending is logically irresponsible. The debt ceiling has to be raised to authorize spending already approved by Congress. Despite that fallacy the GOP has been able to score political points with its argument.

The prospects for a coherent hilarious and consistent American comedy seem to lessen every year as the poor waterlogged gassy corpse called 'Evan Almighty' proved when it floated ashore recently. So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'

All these jokes have been pre-approved as funny by me.

Today I too wish to reaffirm that I intend to continue on the path toward improved relations and friendship with the Jewish people following the decisive lead given by John Paul II.
