Politiquotes of the Week: July 25

"If there’s anything to take away from this tragedy it’s the reminder that life is very fragile. Our time here is limited and it is precious," said President Obama in his first response to the shootings in Aurora, Colorado. "And what matters at the end of the day is not the small things, it’s not the trivial things, which so often consume us and our daily lives. Ultimately, it’s how we choose to treat one another and how we love one another."
