“There may be a long list of things to do, but really, there is just one thing on the list at any time. If you think of it like that, the whole world looks different and you can stay quite calm.

“EMILY's List has worked a lot with swing women voters over the years, and one thing we've learned is that they are very cynical about politics and politicians. They very much want help with the challenges facing them and their families, and they feel like most politicians don't understand or want to lift a finger to help them out.” WantFeelsYearsHelpingChallengesOne ThingPoliticianFingersListsLiftsVotersCynicalSwingsEmilyEmily's Author:Ellen Malcolm

“Intriguingly, in poll after poll, when Americans are asked what public institutions they most respect, three bodies are always at the top of their list: the Supreme Court, the armed forces, and the Federal Reserve System.

It would seem that Americans admire these institutions, precisely because they lead rather than follow.” BodySeemsThreeForceCommonOne ThingPressureInstitutionsCourtListsSupremeAdmireReservesSupreme CourtPollsFederal ReserveArmed Forces Author:Fareed Zakaria

“I would say that there exists a thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else, and that our dignity and our chances are one.
