Ronald Reagan

Over 93 percent of American women say they use contraceptives, and they feel very good about it.
Melinda Gates

Andy Borowitz
A diet that relies heavily on meat production results in higher emissions than a typical vegetarian diet. Different individuals will make different choices. However, the debate about climate change should not be dumbed down to a single slogan, such as 'give up meat to save the planet.'
Nicholas Stern
The plight of the terrified Central American children who have flooded across the U.S. border to escape violence and poverty in their homelands has launched a passionate and often bitter debate in Washington.

He was pursuing a running debate with his own guilts and ghosts-unless he was spouting proverbs and aphorisms, most of the meanings fairly obvious but a few convolute and obscure.

He still had difficulty separating "ought to be” from "the way things really are.”.

In the debate on the Treaty of Brest Litovsk I said that, surely it could not be contradicted from any part of this House that a war indemnity must be demanded from Rumania If Germany receives an indemnity, then it is a matter of indifference to me what it is called, either in the case of the present Treaty or any further ones.
Gustav Stresemann
