We are at a crossroads over how the federal government in Washington and state legislatures and city councils across the land allocate their financial resources. Which fork we take will say a lot about Americans and our values.

I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.

We have the resources (to end hunger), we know what has to be done, and it's something that can be achieved at a rather modest cost

Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.

The whole campaign was a tragic case of mistaken identity.

A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.
