Monday Motivation

I always supported the women I worked with having time off to go to parent-teacher conferences and doctors' appointments or bringing their infants into the office.  

I had a personal email when I was in the Senate, as the vast majority of senators do. It was very convenient. I did all of my business on personal emails.  

The Russians and the Chinese have been absolutely clear they don't want to see Iran with a nuclear weapon.  

When you have armed militants, aided and abetted by a major country like Russia, able to use surface-to-air missiles to bring down a commercial airline, that is a form of terrorism.  

In the aftermath of September 11, and as the 9/11 Commission report so aptly demonstrates, it is clear that our intelligence system is not working the way that it should.  

I've been really at the highest levels of American political life.  

Sometimes, in public life, people ask inappropriate, off-the-wall kinds of questions, don't they?  

I really get up every day and try to deal with the problems that are in front of me, and I don't really worry about history. That will work itself out over time.  

I expect to pass through this life but once. Therefore, if there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do for another human being, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.  

Tis admirable to consider, how Powerful the Kings are, yet they move by the Breath of their People.  

No man is fit to command another that cannot command himself.  

Let the people think they govern and they will be governed  

Let us see what love can do.  

Time is what we want most,but what we use worst.  

...not doing what we love in the name of greed is very poor management of our lives.  

I try to invest in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.  

I will only say that many freedom fighters of India found their calling in the institutions of Britain. And many makers of modern India, including several of my distinguished predecessors, from Jawaharlal Nehru to Dr. Manmohan Singh, passed through their doors.  

Our constitution is a ray of hope: H for harmony, O for Opportunity, P for people's participation and E for equality.  

If you call yourself a leader, then you have to be decisive. If you're decisive, then you have the chance to be a leader. These are two sides to the same coin.  

So far as the government is concerned, there is only one holy book, which is the constitution of India. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.
