'People are usually in the left lane, trying to get ahead?Try life in the right lane.'
'The positive psychology, the positive social science we envision for the 21st century may not only prevent mental illness, but may lead to scientific
understanding of how to build personal strength and civic virtue?the best things in human life.'
'We have a great staff that could lobby Congress everyday, but what really makes a difference is when members of Congress hear from their constituents. If legislators see that average, everyday citizens aren?t getting the health-care they need, that makes a big difference.'
