I love walking down the street and seeing faces and drama and happiness and sadness and dirt and cleanliness.

All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.

Nobody is starving on the streets. We've always taken care of them. We take care of our own we always have. It is not the government's responsibility.

I've been in and out of Wall Street since 1949 and I've never seen the type of animosity between government and Wall Street. And I'm not sure where it comes from but I suspect it's got to do with a general schism in this society which is really becoming ever more destructive.

We are watching industries crumble Wall Street firms disappear unemployment spike and unprecedented government intervention. And our designated opinion leaders want to know: Is Obama up this week? Is he down? And is his leadership style more like Bill Clinton's or Abraham Lincoln's?

One of my goals upon becoming Secretary of State was to take diplomacy out of capitals out of government offices into the media into the streets of countries.

I had the privilege of practicing medicine in the early '60s before we had any government. It worked rather well and there was nobody on the street suffering with no medical care.

Manners is the key thing. Say for instance when you're growing up you're walking down the street you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person.

Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.

Growing up if I hadn't had sports I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.
