There is no happiness in having or in getting but only in giving.

Genuine happiness can only be achieved when we transform our way of life from the unthinking pursuit of pleasure to one committed to enriching our inner lives when we focus on 'being more' rather than simply having more.

Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill.

Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.

I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great big normal life and you're like 'What's wrong with me?'

There are many qualities that make a great leader. But having strong beliefs being able to stick with them through popular and unpopular times is the most important characteristic of a great leader.

Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also the people I met at the university most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

I clearly believe a lot more than some of my coalition colleagues - Tories - in redistribution and using the tax system for that purpose. I also believe in the government having an active role in the economy which is having an industrial strategy. I'm not a believer in laissez-faire.

I think though if I had to look at the role of government and what it does in people's lives I see the EEOC as having much more legitimacy than the others if properly run.
