Ruthless Is Not Necessarily The Word I Would Use, But Tough, Resolute, Understanding What The Problems Are, And Understanding That The Job Of The President Of The United States Is To Protect The People Of This Country And To Do What Is Necessary In Order To Get It Done.

There's A False Narrative That Only The Political Class Has The Wisdom And The Ability To Be Commander-in- Chief. But If You Go Back And You Study The Design Of Our Country, It Was Really Designed For The Citizen Statesman.

Why Should We Be Letting People Smoke Their Cigars In Their Comfortable Chairs In Raqqa?

Illogical Thinkers Throw Names And Slurs Around Because They Have No Arguments With Which To Rebut Their Opponents. Rational People Have To Keep Hammering Their Points Home.

The Point Is, We Can Decry The Dangers We Face Or Ignore Them Or Even Allow Ourselves To Be Paralyzed By Fear.

I Came Away With The Idea That Respect Is Really The Solution. We Need To Teach Young People To Respect Authority - Particularly, Respect The Law.

A Great Operation On The Wrong Patient Is Just As Bad As A Horrible Operation On The Right Patient. So, You Have To Have All That Together.

Uninformed People Can Be Easily Manipulated.

I Don't Worry About Things That Aren't Important.

Always Give Your Best And Try To Figure Out How To Do An Even Better Job.

The Roman Empire Was Very, Very Much Like Us. They Lost Their Moral Core, Their Sense Of Values In Terms Of Who They Were. And After All Of Those Things Converged Together, They Just Went Right Down The Tubes Very Quickly.

I Would Love To See Music Reinstated As An Essential Part Of Schooling. The Culture That It Brings; The Knowledge That It Brings. Just Learning How To Read Music Requires Metrics, And I Think That Helps You With Mathematics. A Lot Of Scientists And Doctors Have A Musical Background - It's Very Interesting.

America Need A Significantly Changed Taxation System. And The One That I've Advocated Is Based On Tithing, Because I Think God Is A Pretty Fair Guy. If You Give Me A Tithe, It Doesn't Matter How Much You Make. If You've Had A Bumper Crop, You Don't Owe Me Triple Tithes. And If You've Had No Crops At All, You Don't Owe Me No Tithes. So There Must Be Something Inherently Fair About It.

A Good Surgeon Doesn't Just Concentrate On Technical Ability, But Also On The Appropriateness Of What You're Doing.

Appropriateness

There Is A Tendency Of People To Try To Make You Believe Only A Few People Are Smart. As A Brain Surgeon, I Know Better Than That.

Maybe That's How I Learned To Handle My Deep Hurt - By Forgetting.

We Turned Our Back On Israel, Our Ally. You Know, And A Situation Like That, Of Course [barack]obama's Not Going To Be Able To Do Anything. I Would Shore Up Our Military First, Because If You Don't Get The Military Right, Nothing Else Is Going To Work.

Education Is A Fundamental Principle Of What Made America A Success. We Can't Afford To Throw Any Young People Away.

Stop Thinking Of Failing.

We Create Our Own Destiny By The Way We Do Things. We Have To Take Advantage Of Opportunities And Be Responsible For Our Choices.

There's Absolutely No Reason At All That Physicians, Scientists, Shouldn't Be Involved In Things That Affect All Of Us.

We Have Much Better Policies Than The Democrats Do.

In Our Culture, Security Has Become An Obsession.

What Do Lawyers Learn In Law School? They Learn To Win... What We've Got To Start Thinking About Is How Do We Solve Problems.

Let's Say Somebody Were [in The White House] And They Wanted To Destroy This Nation. I Would Create Division Among The People, Encourage A Culture Of Ridicule For Basic Morality And The Principles That Made And Sustained The Country, Undermine The Financial Stability Of The Nation, And Weaken And Destroy The Military. It Appears Coincidentally That Those Are The Very Things That Are Happening Right Now.

I Hope We, The American People, Can Come To The Understanding That We Are Not Each Other's Enemies. The Enemies Are Those Who Are Stoking The Flames Of Division, Trying To Divide Us Into Every Category.

I Struggled Academically Throughout Elementary School

Elementary School

White Liberals Are The Most Racist People There Are, Because They Put Blacks In A Box And Insist That They Think One Way - And If They Don't, They Attack Them As Illegitimate, All The While Denying That Their Policies Destroy Blacks.

If You're Black And You Oppose A Progressive Agenda, And You're Pro Life, And You're Pro Family, Then They Do Not Even Know What To Call You. You End Up On Some Watch List For Extremists.

My Experience Has Confirmed The Wisdom Of So Much Of What The Bible Teaches.

I Want The Government To Provide The Military So We Don't Get Invaded By Somebody And Destroyed. I Want The Government To Provide The Roads So I Can Get From Point A To B. In Terms Of Taking Care Of My Day To Day Needs, I Want To Do That Myself. I Want My Community To Do That.

It's Very Difficult To Speak To A Large Group Of People These Days And Not Offend Someone.
