"Here sir, the people govern."

-- Alexander Hamilton

“The Author of nature has not given laws to the universe, which, like the institutions of men, carry in themselves the elements of their own destruction; he has not permitted in his works any symptom of infancy or of old age, or any sign by which we may estimate either their future or their past duration. He may put an end, as he no doubt gave a beginning, to the present system at some determinate period of time; but we may rest assured, that this great catastrophe will not be brought about by the laws now existing, and that it is not indicated by any thing which we perceive.”

“Whatever consequences come as a result, in terms of work, I'm fully prepared to embrace because it's a priority to me to be a mother.”

“I'm a lot more self-confident than I used to be. To some extent I owe that to my children and my husband.”

“A small child from a developing country has the advantage, from a very early age, of having access to toys which structure his mind, which constitute a sure advantage over the little African child who has never even held a modern toy.”
