The best part about playing a mom is that people hug moms. I get hugs all the time. It really makes hard days a lot easier, and easy days are downright joyous.
~ Kim Rhodes
On Halloween, don't you know back when you were little, your mom tells you don't eat any candy until she checks it? I used to be so tempted to eat my candy on the way to other people's houses. That used to be such a tease.
~ Derrick Rose
People may not know this about me, but I've always loved cooking. My favorite thing to cook is my mom's spicy spaghetti.
~ Becky G
That's the Indian in me - you must put spices on everything. As a kid, whenever we got sick, my mom would take milk and put turmeric in it. That was our medicine. That was the cure-all. Some people turn to Robitussin.
~ Aasif Mandvi
People still ask my husband and me which of us is the mom - which, as one lesbian friend pointed out to me, is like asking which chopstick is the fork. This pressure on us to embody normative traditions can be paralysing.
~ Andrew Solomon
My mom and my dad were both very sociable, meeting lots of interesting people.
~ Bill Gates
My mom, if you asked her if she was interested in whether or not people gambled, would say no.
~ Penn Jillette
I don't want a life without my mom in it, but I'm not someone who curls up in the fetal position and says, 'Mommy, take care of me!' I don't like people catering to me. It feels so awkward and uncomfortable.
~ Khloe Kardashian
There's nothing more frustrating than when fans use a nickname. That's like people you don't know using names from people that you're intimate with. Like if my mom has a nickname and a fan finds it out and starts using it, that's creepy.
~ Evangeline Lilly
Being a mom is what life is about. I hope people realize what the priorities in life should be and know not everything has to be perfect.
~ Kourtney Kardashian
My dad had always been a big decaf coffee drinker. But my mom had always been more of a tea drinker. So I grew up around a lot of tea. And I also really love tea. But I'm not one of those people who has ever felt the need to choose between coffee and tea. I think that is a completely false dichotomy.
~ Chelsea Clinton
My mom grew up in poverty in Oklahoma - like Dust Bowl, nine people in one room kind of place - and the way she got out of poverty was through education. My dad grew up without a dad, with very little and he also made his way out through education.
~ Jennifer Garner
Luckily, I was raised by a kind of gypsy family, which is why I always get along better with people who worked in circuses than with kids of other actors. My mom was so carefree with us in a beautiful way. We were used to sleeping anywhere.
~ Lou Doillon
When I was about four, people used to walk up to my mom and say I should be in commercials.
~ Zachary Gordon
Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
~ Ronald Reagan
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
~ Thomas Jefferson
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
~ Abraham Lincoln
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
~ John Adams
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
In the relations of a weak Government and a rebellious people there comes a time when every act of the authorities exasperates the masses, and every refusal to act excites their contempt.
~ John Reed
The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government.
~ George Washington
The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
~ Woodrow Wilson
Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
Good government only happens when the people working in it do their jobs, and do them well.
~ Matthew Lesko
Though the people support the government, the government should not support the people.
~ Grover Cleveland
We are not spending the Federal Government's money, we are spending the taxpayer's money, and it must be spent n a way which guarantees his money's worth and yields the fullest possible benefit to the people being helped.
~ Richard M. Nixon
Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
~ Louis D. Brandeis
The people are the government, administering it by their agents; they are the government, the sovereign power.
~ Andrew Jackson
What makes me angry is when people know what is right but have, over the years, attuned themselves to the fact that what they're doing, stealing money from government, is acceptable.
~ Miriam Defensor Santiago
I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.
~ William F. Buckley
A government is for the benefit of all the people.
~ William Howard Taft
The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along, paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.
~ Gore Vidal
If we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy.
There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenseless people.
~ Nelson Mandela
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
A government of, by, and for the people requires that people talk to people, that we can agree to disagree but do so in civility. If we let the politicians and those who report dictate our discourse, then our course will be dictated.
~ Donna Brazile
Some people think African states cannot be trusted with the cookie jar. But there are absolutely good NGOs who have this feeling of human solidarity and who also recognize that their work can only be supplementary to the government.
~ Meles Zenawi
It's our moral obligation, as well as, I believe, it is the government's obligation to take care of its people.
~ Marcia Fudge
The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.
I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. You know, the root cause of terrorism is the stuff that the U.S. government allows to happen, and the foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists. And it's easy for us because it's just some oil.
~ Lupe Fiasco
