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.

It Doesn't Matter If You Come From The Inner City. People Who Fail In Life Are People Who Find Lots Of Excuses. It's Never Too Late For A Person To Recognize That They Have Potential In Themselves.

You Don't Have To Be A Brain Surgeon To Be A Valuable Person. You Become Valuable Because Of The Knowledge That You Have. And That Doesn't Mean You Won't Fail Sometimes. The Important Thing Is To Keep Trying.

I Know A Lot Of People In Washington Would Say, Well, You Know, Indigent People Can't Manage Their Health Savings Account. They're Too Stupid. But They're Not Too Stupid. Somebody Has A Diabetic Foot Ulcer, They Learn Very Quickly Not To Go The Emergency Room Where It Costs Five Times More To Take Care Of It. They Go To The Clinic.

Our Strength As A Nation Comes In Our Unity. We Are The United States Of America, Not The Divided States. And Those Who Want To Divide Us Are Trying To Divide Us, And We Shouldn't Let Them Do It.

Anyone With A Normal Brain Has The Capacity To Do Almost Anything, But When One Has Special Gifts Or Talents (and Everyone Has) And Takes Advantage Of And Develops These Talents - That Person Is Likely To Excel.

We Should Be Concerned Not Only About The Health Of Individual Patients, But Also The Health Of Our Entire Society.

What Is Important - What I Consider Success - Is That We Make A Contribution To Our World.

I Would Prefer To Just Continue To Speak About Truth And To Speak About What Makes Sense.

The Thing That Is Probably Most Important Is Having A Brain, And To Be Able To Figure Things Out And Learn Things Very Rapidly.

I Think Americans Is A Very Special Nation That Was Created So That People Could Be Free. And They Could Be Free To Believe What They Wanted. They Could Be Free To Work As Hard As They Wanted, Knowing That Their Labor Would Accrue To Them And To Their Family, That There Wouldn't Be A Lot Of People Impinging Upon Their Freedom And Telling Them What They Had To Do, And That It Would Be A Nation That Was Representative Of The People, And That It Would Have A Government That Was Representative Of The People Rather Than One That Tried To Rule The People.

'why Risk?' I Responded. 'it Should Be, Why Not To Risk?'

We Get Out Of Life What We Put Into It. The Way We Treat Others Is The Way We Ourselves Get Treated.

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

(i'm) The Only One To Take Out Half A Brain, Although You Would Think, If You Go To Washington, That Someone Had Beat Me To It.

You Have Yourself To Blame.

It's Not What You Do But That Kind Of Job You Do That Makes The Difference.

I Could Easily Have Decided That Life Was Cruel, That Being Black Meant Everything Was Stacked Against Me.
