I mean if a person acts irresponsibly in his own life he will pay the consequences. And it's not so much divine retribution as it's built into the law of nature.

I think America has more than enough maturity and intelligence to start exercising its world leadership responsibly.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly while bad people will find a way around the laws.

I hope that in future Congresses there will reemerge a recognition that climate change is a reality that our policies to meet our energy needs must also deal responsibly with environmental issues including the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

See that's why Barack's running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly - to build an economy that lifts every family to make sure health care is available for every American - and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college.

We cannot know the whole truth which belongs to God alone but our task nevertheless is to seek to know what is true. And if we offend gravely enough against what we know to be true as by failing badly enough to deal affectionately and responsibly with our land and our neighbors truth will retaliate with ugliness poverty and disease.
