those who understands is not better than those who appreciates, those who appreciates is not better than those who enjoys.

Confucius

Immigration reform is for those thousands of people in my district and the millions of people across the country who want nothing more than to work hard, provide for their families, and reach for the American Dream.

Jan Schakowsky

I think how veterans are treated in our country is an abomination. We don't have the draft any more, which is why so many soldiers come from working-class - rather than middle- or high-income families. Those wealthier families aren't affected, so they're not agitating for change.

Laurie Halse Anderson

Let me go out on a limb and suggest that those who see hints of a new class ideology developing around information technology are not necessarily wild-eyed. "Bit-twiddlers" are neither exactly proletariat nor bourgeoisie. They may not own the means of production in the sense that Marx argued, but they certainly do have significantly control over those means, in a more profound way than the term "symbols analysts" or "knowledge workers" captures. As a rough generalization, they value science and technological problem-solving elegance equally at least with profit.

Steven Weber

Our men and women in uniform make enough sacrifices for our country. Their credit rating should not be one of those sacrifices.

Sherrod Brown

If my own country is subverting the rule of law and sending its own citizens, its military, into harm's way on the basis of lies and propaganda, I would argue that being a patriot is calling out those lies and saying, 'No, you don't send our military into harm's way with no legal justification.'

Katharine Gun

Those who have knowledge are more confident than those who have no knowledge, and they are more confident after they have learned than before.

Plato

And this may be hard to swallow for those deeply embedded in a particular political philosophy, but I think most people - whatever their choices - simply want what's best for themselves, their families and their country. They differ on what that means and the best way to get there.

Sharyl Attkisson

Congress has turned its back on America's working families. There are Teamster families in every congressional district in America, and those families vote. Those who would oppose these families have done so at their own political peril.

James P. Hoffa

Nothing distinguishes more clearly conditions in a free country from those in a country under arbitrary government than the observance in the former of the great principles known as the Rule of Law.

Friedrich August von Hayek

The future must not belong to those who treat faith as a means of knowledge. The future-if peace is to be a part of it-must belong to those who acknowledge that man’s only means of knowledge is reason.

Craig Biddle

On Veterans Day, the country honors those in uniform and the sacrifices they have made across the globe. But as a military spouse who reports on the issues facing military families, I've learned that one of the biggest challenges is when a service member transitions out of the armed forces and into the civilian workforce.

Brianna Keilar

Never invite to dinner: those who won't decide until the last minute; those who come more than half an hour late; those who want to bring along two or three friends; drunks; monologists; those who stay until three o'clock in the morning; those who think that conversation means having an argument; those who take a high moral tone; those who are stupid, ugly, or dull. Enforcement of these rules will enable one to eat alone every night in comfort.

Mason Cooley

I have observed 100,000 families over my years of investment counseling. I always saw greater prosperity and happiness among those families who tithed than among those who didn't.

John Templeton

There are so many families around the country that can't have children. We can improve options so families can have children, can adopt more readily those children.

Mike Pence

The past is dead, and nothing that we can choose to believe about it can harm or benefit those who were alive in it. On the other hand, it has the power to harm us.

Anthony Terence Quincey Stewart
