Think globally, act locally.

I think we can work through a lot of these issues.

I think in small towns like this one, whether you're a man or a woman, you basically do what there is to do.

If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.

Those who use our public services should be able to deal directly with those who manage and deliver them.

We are mandating forces to hold regular neighbourhood beat meetings. These meetings will give local people the chance to scrutinise the work of their local police.

In a budget this massive, there are certainly areas where I think we could do much better.

A major part of being prepared is having a plan. Local calls don't always work in the immediate vicinity of a disaster, so it's important to have an out-of-town contact with whom the entire family can check in.

The way to change the world is through individual responsibility and taking local action in your own community.

Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community.
