“My favorite novel is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' because of its broad sweep, its tackling of big issues in ways that even young minds can make sense of and for the heart of the characters, who span a wide range of ages. I reread it every year.” WayYearsMindHeartCharacterBigsAgeYoungNovelIssuesMy FavoriteWideMake SenseRangeBroadsTacklingYoung MindsMockingbirdKill A Mockingbird Author:Ridley Pearson
“Bless his heart, I have respect for Mitt Romney, but I do not have respect for what he has done through this debt increase debate. He did this. He waited until it was a done deal that we would increase the debt ceiling, and more money would be spent, more money borrowed and then spent on bigger government. And then he came out and he made a statement, that he didn't like the deal after all. You know, you can't defer an issue and assume that the problem is going to be then avoided.” HeartMadeDoneProblemGovernmentWould BeDealsIssuesRepublicanBiggerIncreaseAssumingDebtDebateStatementsBlessMore MoneyAvoidedRomneyCeilingsBorrowedDebt Ceiling Author:Sarah Palin
“However, I also want to say this. The ranch standoff that took place out in Nevada was not about a man named Cliven Bundy. At the heart of this issue was my belief that our government is simply out of control. Now, to me, this was about a federal agency’s dangerous response to a situation that could have resulted in a catastrophe, and that means people dying and people being shot, kind of comparable to what we saw in Waco, Texas.” PeopleMenWantHeartKindMeanGovernmentBeliefSituationIssuesSawsDyingDangerousShotsResponseAgencyTexasCatastropheMean PeopleNevadaPeople DyingStandoffs Author:Sean Hannity
“About 75% of the price of gas is really dictated by crude oil. At the heart of the issue is increasing demand over a period of many years around the world.

“But here is the heart of the moral issue for many of us. Simply put, those around the world who have contributed least to global warming and climate change will be the most and first to be impacted by the consequences of it all. Sadly, it's an old story.

“At its heartmeat core, writing is about exploring the questions of your heart on the assumption that what intrigues you, what inflames or amuses or ennobles you, will have the same effect on someone else.

“On Nov. 6, the day before my 94th birthday, our nation will hold one of the most critical elections in my lifetime. We are at a crossroads and there are profound moral issues at stake. I strongly urge you to vote for candidates who support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman, protect the sanctity of life and defend our religious freedoms. The Bible speaks clearly on these crucial issues.

“If happiness is a state of the inward life, we have to look for its chief obstructions not in outward conditions but in deeper places. Happiness depends in the last issue, as we saw, on the essential view of life. It is not a matter of distractions, nor even of mere pleasurable sensations. There may be an appearance of great prosperity with incurable sadness hidden at the heart, as there is an outward peace which is only a well-masked despair. The way to happiness is indeed harder than the way to success; for its chief enemies entrench themselves within the soul.” IfsWayWellsLooksHeartMaySoulMatterStatesLastsHappinessViewsEnemyIssuesSawsSadnessConditionsDependsEssentialsDespairHarderMereProsperityAppearanceDeeperChiefsSensationsDistractionInwardObstructionWay To Success Book:Happiness Source: Happiness

“When it comes to politics, we have an internal glass ceiling. We stand as good a chance as a man to win a political race, but women don't want to run at the same rate as men do. People point to the work-family balance issue, but I think it's much more than that. Many women don't have children, or have children who are no longer at home. There are some deeper psychological and emotional issues in play, like the fact that many of us feel like the embarrassment, humiliation and personal demonization in politics are simply more than our hearts can take. What stops us is fear.” PeopleThinkingMenWantFeelsHeartChildrenPlayFactsHomeRunningPoliticalWinningChanceRaceIssuesEmotionalBalanceRateGlassesDeeperPsychologicalInternalsHumiliationEmbarrassmentCeilingsGlass CeilingWork Family Author:Marianne Williamson
