Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees. And both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people. ↗

I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos. ↗

And we dare not; poor cowards that we are! ↗

You've got some very powerful countries: Poland, the United Kingdom, Sweden and others who have a genuine desire to see the euro zone straighten itself out. It's good for all of us, whether you're in the euro zone or not, to make sure that it doesn't lead to a fracturing. ↗
