There are two things proverb

 There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 Whereas 50 years ago there was an assumption that most people who were in business were conservative, that is not an assumption that people would make anymore. No longer will you find, for instance, a Democratic president having the problem that Kennedy had in 1960 finding a name-brand Democratic businessman for his cabinet.

 People have been moving together, talking, discussing things, ... You can always find someone who's going to try to be a dead-ender and say, 'If you don't do this, I won't do that.' But that's part of negotiation. We see that in the Congress and we see it in democratic systems all over the world.
  Donald Rumsfeld

 There are two things which will always be very difficult for a democratic nation: to start a war and to end it.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

 At the end of the day, the president should know if he sends someone who is an ideologue or somebody who is an extremist right winger, that person is going to have a very, very difficult time getting through the Senate, ... I think you'll find unity among the Democratic caucus in opposing someone like that.

 I can't imagine us being able to nominate three stronger candidates. It won't be difficult for them to find support from the entire Democratic Party. I did promise we'd contest every race, but that will be our goal for next time.

 People begin to see formations and begin to see things because that's what they want to see.

 Under adversity, under oppression, the words begin to fail, the easy words begin to fail. In colder to convey things accurately, the human being is almost forced to find the most precise words possible, which is a precondition for literature.

 I've only done some work on (the screenplay), and I find it very difficult, actually. Because you can really get away with murder in a book. You write 'round so many things, you can describe people, you can explain things. A screenplay is actually very short. It is only, like, 110 pages long and it's very spread out and every line has to do so many jobs, so I found it really hard.

 You begin to feel selfless now. When you become a parent, you realize that there is more to the world around. You just begin to look at things differently. You just begin to experience a whole other realm of life.

 It's been a rather difficult week and people want to head home for the weekend and find out what is the disposition of Mr. Bin Laden, if at all, and maybe see how things are clicking in the Middle East.

 Psychologically, it was a difficult moment for me. I don't like riding in the peloton in the chasing peloton. That's not my game, ... But I held on, mainly out of respect for my team. I have not given up doing well in the Tour one day. But on the evidence of things, I have to begin questioning certain things. We will analyze all that this winter.

 The new ruler of Iraq is going to be an Iraqi. I don't rule anything, ... I'm the coalition facilitator to establish a different environment where these people can pull things together themselves and begin a self-government process and, with our assistance, begin a reconstruction process and end up with a democracy that represents the freely elected will of the Iraqi people.

 We must begin now to make the public aware that this is an important democratic right we must protect for all people. The right to vote is so precious, we must do everything we can to protect that right for all citizens.
