In today's world, new infections and diseases can spread across the country and even across the world in a matter of days, or even hours, making early detection critical.

I am proud to be an American, and proud that such beliefs are at the core of our country and its citizens.

Let us also reflect on the honorable service of our men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces currently serving our country overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, and around the world.

The American patriots of today continue the tradition of the long line of patriots before them, by helping to promote liberty and freedom around the world.

In fact, things are moving along rather well in Iraq. Nothing is perfect, of course, and freedom is messy work. The cooperation of the three major interests in Iraq has been remarkable.

It is simply a fact that the birth rate of our illegal immigrants exceeds that of our legal residents.

Mexico takes a hard line on immigration, demanding that visitors to her shores enter lawfully, and show her respect during their stay.

In just three years, Iraq has achieved immense progress. It has had three successful elections in which 80% of their citizens voted, even while being threatened with death.

The American people want economic prosperity, high-quality goods and low prices, all of which I support.

The U.S. Forces are winning in Iraq. It is to be hoped that they will win at home also.

The voters in my district, and around the country, have demanded that Congress get a hold on the influx of illegal immigrants and tighten the security around our borders.

It seemed like all the way to tomorrow and over it to the days beyond.

When one good thing happened to you, other good things seemed to follow.

The least practical of us have some petty thrift dear to our hearts, some one direction in which we love to scrimp.

Little by little, bit by bit, family by family, so much good can be done on so many levels

I didn't feel like I was in my own body; my body was just a lonely, temporary container I happened to be borrowing.

Cost is the father and compensation the mother of progress.

Peace of mind is much better than giving them a piece of your mind.

I'm grateful for any opportunity to act.

I used and abused drugs and alcohol. When I stopped doing that it became a lot clearer that life goes from inside to giving as opposed to taking and destroying.

It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous. Resign yourself to be the fool you are... ...We must always take risks. That is our destiny.
