President Obama has a pretty good track record of this.

– Shirley MacLaine
More quotes by Shirley MacLaine

More quotes by Frank Luntz
Some argue that now isn't the time to push the green agenda - that all efforts should be on preventing a serious recession. That is a false choice.

More quotes by Jose Mourinho

– Malcolm Fraser
More quotes by Malcolm Fraser
