Let me start by emphasizing that I am open to efforts to expedite environmental procedures for true emergencies or in other clear cases where current laws are needlessly burdensome.

So the only way we're going to improve fuel economy or appliance efficiency swiftly and to the maximum extent practicable is if the government requires it.

We need to reduce or at least limit U.S. demand for oil as quickly as possible, and we need to develop new technologies that can further help address our addiction to oil in the future.

And autos are not the only product that could be made more energy efficient if we just put in place sensible requirements. This is also true of many appliances and even of entire buildings.

Craft brewers are committed to promoting the safe and moderate consumption of their beverage, and work closely with their communities to prevent underage drinking and alcohol abuse.

First, we should not be opening our coasts, all of our coasts, to oil drilling when we have not taken the first step, not the first step, to conserve oil.

Our oil problems are only going to get worse. Our trade balance is only going to get worse. So we have to slow the growth of U.S. oil consumption, particularly imported oil consumption.

But our energy woes are in many ways the result of classic market failures that can only be addressed through collective action, and government is the vehicle for collective action in a democracy.

The way things are going, we are not too far from the day when it will take an hour's labor just to pay for the gasoline to get to the job.

Christian life isn’t a one-person race. It’s a relay. You are not alone; you’re part of a team assembled by our unstoppable God to achieve his eternal purposes.

I believe you can frighten people without showing their heads caved-in.

And even one life that bears witness to the truth of the prosperity law will quicken the consciousness of the whole community.

It's not elitist to acknowledge that everyone has a unique signature and everyone is different.

There's a lot of mountain climbers trapped inside of bodies of people behind the counter at Kinko's.

You want to be the guy who makes an impact in every game. In this sport it's all about results-winning games and making the playoffs.

What’s the will of God for my life? You don’t need to know the will of God in your life, you need to know the God of your life!

You're in charge but don't touch the controls. Recounting what the two Russian cosmonauts tell her each time they leave the Mir space station for a spacewalk.

Is a man one whit the better because he is grown great in other men's esteem?
