BARACK OBAMA

" ... The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of middle-class security all bear the union label."

HARRY S. TRUMAN

"I never did give them hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell."

WOODROW WILSON

"I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something."

JOHN F. KENNEDY

"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived, and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic."

THOMAS JEFFERSON

"He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors."

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT

"I ask you to judge me by the enemies I've made."

* * * * * * *
" ... while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings."

JOHN M. KEYNES

"I do not know which makes a man more conservative--to know nothing but the present, or nothing but the past."
