Powerful, Simple, Understand

Power, Future, Stand

Shock, confusion, fear, anger, grief, and defiance. On Sept. 11, 2001, and for the three days following the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, President George W. Bush led with raw emotion that reflected the public's whipsawing stages of acceptance.
Ron Fournier

Fear, Anger, Acceptance

Well, after I had the heart attack, it was a very simple choice. What the doctor told me I did and I did it religiously. I ate nothing but lean turkey breast or chicken breast or a piece of fish that was very lean. I mean I stayed away from everything.
Mike Ditka

Heart, Simple, Nothing

David Walliams

Life, Making, Joke

Jim DeMint

Marriage, Time, History

William Hague

Wise, Moment, Military

Like a lot of you, I grew up in a family on the ragged edges of the middle class. My daddy sold carpeting and ended up as a maintenance man. After he had a heart attack, my mom worked the phones at Sears so we could hang on to our house.
Elizabeth Warren

Family, Mom, Heart

Tom Brown, Jr.

Courage, Learned, Off

Heart, Down, High

Past, Thinking, Around
