- [We remember] Martin Luther King as an idea, Selma as an idea…what can happen with strategy, with discipline, and with love.
- Americans can directly relate to attacks on freedom of speech. They can directly relate to terrorism. And the impact in France is being compared to the impact of 9/11 in the United States. Boko Haram, by contrast, is viewed as a kind of civil war ... and it's all happening a very long way away.
- What if Christians were held accountable for their words and acts in the United States? What if every time Pat Robertson uttered another nonsensical comment about gays causing hurricanes the National Council of Churches, the National Association of Evangelicals and the U.S. Conference of Roman Catholic Bishops were forced to parade in front of the cameras and issue apologetic statements because a Christian pastor had once again dehumanized children of God, who are still victims of hate crimes in this nation?
- If we’re going to have arguments, let’s have arguments -- but let’s make them debates worthy of this body and worthy of this country.
- Must every story about campus rape panic begin with the standard caveat, ‘sexual assault on campus is a serious problem’?
- I behaved badly, and I will have to live with that, but my own inexcusable arrogance is not a flaw in the Affordable Care Act.
- Almost impossible to believe that Tom Coburn's last sentient act in the Senate is blocking a bipartisan veterans suicide bill. Sleep Well, Senator.
- As doctors and dentists, we share a singular core value that binds us together: an unflinching commitment to improve the lives of our patients. This is our true north. But how this value is reflected in your work – your vision – will be unique to you.
- I’m basically a libertarian. I’m a conservative on economic matters, and I’m a social liberal.
- We forget these are criminals they're out there apprehending. [Mayor] De Blasio's out there on the front lines defending these criminals. But the people who are defending his own family, he's not out here for. And I find it disgraceful…As the leader of this city, he needs to show a little more support for the cops. They're the ones that are dying for us. Simple.
- Anyone who's standing with us, we want you to not use Eric Garner's name for violence, because we are not about that. I'm standing here in sorrow about losing those two police officers.
- The…problem in acknowledging good news - not just for the press but for the public - is that it has come to feel partisan, like an endorsement of whoever occupies the White House.
