• Transmití un mensaje claro y contundente de que, aunque reconocemos que Rusia a veces recopila información aunque no nos guste, hay una diferencia entre eso y entrometerse en las elecciones o perseguir a organizaciones privadas o entidades comerciales, y que lo estamos vigilando de cerca, y responderemos adecuadamente si vemos que esto ocurre.

• One of the predictions that I was the first to make is now materializing, and that prediction was that Obama isn't going away. That Obama is going to hang around Washington and do everything he can to undermine the next president, particularly if and when the next president tries to unravel any of the gigantic web of deceit and debauchery that Obama has implemented as president.

• It's time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods. These laws try to fix something that was never broken. There has always been a legal defense for using deadly force if - and the 'if' is important - if no safe retreat is available. But we must examine laws that take this further by eliminating the common sense and age-old requirement that people who feel threatened have a duty to retreat, outside their home, if they can do so safely.

• If and when a horror turns up you will then be given Grace to help you. I don't think one is usually given it in advance. "Give us our daily bread" (not an annuity for life) applies to spiritual gifts too; the little daily support for the daily trial. Life has to be taken day by day and hour by hour.

• Our past cannot be changed, and to be preoccupied with it is inefficient in time and effort. Likewise, by fretting over the future, we only exhaust ourselves, making us less able to effectively respond when the future is actually upon us. By worrying about a mishap that may or may not take place, we're forced to undergo the event twice-once when imagining it and once again if and when we actually experience it.

• If and when the whole world is secure, we have won a right to explore space, and the oceans. Until we have demonstrated that we can establish a productive and secure earth society, we do not belong anywhere else, nor (I suspect) would we be welcome elsewhere.

• No baso mis libros en mi vida (gracias a Dios) y no elijo el tema primero. De hecho, el tema me elige a mí, a través de una pregunta que no puedo responder como madre, como esposa, como mujer, como estadounidense. Me pregunto: "¿Qué pasaría si...?

• I don't think the question is if should we have a shield law. I think the question is what kind of shield law we should have. Yes, I'd like to see a federal shield law, but if and only if it provides genuine safeguards and doesn't green-light prosecutors and judges and litigants from going after the press and getting things to which they should not be entitled. It's not a simple kind of litmus test.

• The real you, the inner you, is pure, very pure. It's loving and it's magnanimous. It understands.  It has patience.  It is tolerant-it will wait forever while your ego trots all over everywhere trying to figure life out.  It is pleasing to remember that back home there is a friend who's waiting for you to stop being silly, who's waiting to welcome you with open arms if and when you show up.

• Necesitamos grupos como la Marcha de las Mujeres que recuerden a los funcionarios electos que tienen la responsabilidad de crear vías de oportunidades, y que si -y cuando- no lo hacen, la gente corriente va a poner un poco de "extra" en su vida ordinaria y ocurrirán cosas extraordinarias. En este momento, las voces no tan silenciosas que retumban en todo el país y en el mundo están diciendo que merecemos algo mejor de forma absoluta e inequívoca.

• In Kentucky, we're destroying mountains, including their soils and forests, in order to get at the coal. In other words, we're destroying a permanent value in order to get at an almost inconceivably transient value. That coal has a value only if and when it is burnt. And after it is burnt, it is a pollutant and a waste-a burden.

• La increíble historia de progreso que es Estados Unidos siempre ha sido construida por quienes se preguntan por qué, qué pasaría si y por qué no. Nuestras escuelas deben empezar a inculcar de nuevo ese asombro en nuestros hijos para que su generación se una en torno al próximo gran proyecto de nuestro tiempo, ya sea declarar la independencia energética de Estados Unidos o lanzar la próxima gran revolución tecnológica.

• IF - and this is the greatest of them all - I had the courage to see myself as I reallyam, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others,for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.

• Two questions form the foundation of all novels: "What if?" and "What next?" (A third question, "What now?", is one the author asks himself every 10 minutes or so; but it's more a cry than a question.) Every novel begins with the speculative question, What if "X" happened? That's how you start.
