Tom Peters

Since 1978 for the bottom half of the wealth distribution male median wages have actually gone down. And I think that's a crucial reason. If you are a male worker, your median wage since 1979 has gone down.

Tucker Carlson

If you are born into a family below the national median income, we provide you with an additional $500, and for every contribution made to a child's account below the national median income, we match it dollar for dollar - the federal government will.

The message of the United States is not nuclear power. The message of the United States is a spiritual message.

The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world.

Max Lucado

To me, the message of my songs, of all songs, is "enjoy life." My message as a person who evidently doens't have much more planned is the same. It's the only message I ever thought art had any business having.
