Economics Is Not Brain Surgery.

The Doors Of The World Are Opened To People Who Can Read.

Even If Somebody Disagrees With You, Their Life Is Still Valuable.

Compassion, However, Should Mean Providing A Mechanism To Escape Poverty Rather Than Simply Maintaining People In An Impoverished State By Supplying Handouts. By Doing This We Give Them An Opportunity To Elevate Their Personal Situations, Which Eventually Decreases Our Need To Take Care Of Them And Empowers Them To Be Able To Exercise Compassion Toward Others.

I Am Convinced That Knowledge Is Power - To Overcome The Past, To Change Our Own Situations, To Fight New Obstacles, To Make Better Decisions.

Knowledge And Power

I'm Not Even Sure I Like Surgery, But I Like What It Does, I Like The Effects. I Like To Be Able To Give People Longevity And Quality Of Life, And I Also Think It's Good For People To Use The Special Gifts And Talents That They Have. And When I Was In Medical School, When I Began To Analyze The Gifts And Talents That I Had, I Realized That Surgery Would Probably Be A Very Good Fit For Me.

But, You Know, When I Look At Somebody Like Hillary Clinton, Who Sits There And Tells Her Daughter And A Government Official That No, This Was A Terrorist Attack, And Then Tells Everybody Else That It Was A Video. Where I Came From, They Call That A Lie.

The Truth Is, The Liberal Policies Of The Elite Class Have Done Little To Improve The Lot Of Those Who Depend So Much On Them. In America's Black Communities, Where The Goodies Have Been Flowing For Decades, Rather Than Seeing Improvements In Terms Of Upward Mobility, We Are Seeing Deteriorating Family Structure, Increases In Violent Crimes, Growing Poverty, And Growing Dependence. Even With Such A Blatant Record Of Failure, There Is Slavish Devotion To The Elite Class Who Continue To Promise More Goodies In Exchange For Votes.

I Was Asked By An Npr Reporter Once, Why Don't I Talk About Race That Often. I Said It's Because I'm A Neurosurgeon. And She Thought That Was A Strange Response.

I Got Involved With Classical Music When I Was In High School And It's Followed Me Throughout My Entire Life And Probably Had A Profound Effect On My Life.

Every Time I Am Looking Into The Depths Of Somebody's Brain, I'm Thinking, 'this Is What Makes A Person Who They Are. That Structure Contains Memories. Everything That They've Ever Experienced Is Right In There.'

I Don't Think Really Conservative Or Liberal; I Think What Makes Sense.

People Are Starving For That Coming Out Of Washington. And It's Not A Democrat Thing Or A Republican Thing. I Think It's A Politician Thing.

We Have Much More In Common With Other People Than We Have Apart.

We'll Always Be Safe In Jesus Christ If We Place Our Faith In The Lord.

I Consider Myself A Logical Person And, You Know, A Lot Of People Try To Categorize Me In One Way Or Another.

Because 9/11 Is An Isolated Incident. Things That Are Isolated Issues As Opposed To Things That Fundamentally Change The United Sates Of America And Shift Power From The People To The Government. That Is A Huge Shift. You Have To Take A Long-term Look At Something That Fundamentally Changes The Power Structure Of America.

I Grew Up In The Inner City And Have Spent A Lot Of Time There And Have Dealt With A Lot Of Patients From That Area And Recognize That We Cannot Have A Strong Nation If We Have Weak Inner Cities.

When Asked By Glenn Beck If People Should Be Allowed To Own Semi-automatic Weapons, Dr. Benjamin Carson Said: “it Depends On Where You Live. I Think If You Live In The Midst Of A Lot Of People, And I’m Afraid That That Semi-automatic Weapon Is Going To Fall Into The Hands Of A Crazy Person, I Would Rather You Not Have It.

The Key Is To Cut Out The Middleman And Empower Both Doctor And Patient With Information About What Things Cost.

I Would Prefer That In The Republican Party, We Not Engage In Trying To Destroy Each Other, Because All That Does Is Hand The Election Over To The Democrats. I Don't Know Why There Is This Penchant For Snatching Defeat Out Of The Jaws Of Victory, They'll Find Some Way To Destroy Themselves. And It Is Just Maddening To See It Happening.

You Have To Try, You Have To Try Everything You Can.

I'm Convinced That We All Harvest The Fruits Of Our Labors.

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.

We Are Not Like Dogs Who Are Kind Of "what Am I Going To Eat Today? Oh, There Is A Rabbit; I Am Going To Go Chase It."

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

When You Look At The Way The Pyramids Are Made, With Many Chambers That Are Hermetically Sealed, They Would Have To Be That Way For A Reason. And, You Know, Various Scientists Have Said, Well, You Know, There Were Alien Beings That Came Down, And They Had Special Knowledge, And That's How They Were - You Know, It Doesn't Require An Alien Being When God Is With You.

This Whole Concept Of Boots On The Ground, We've Got A Phobia About Boots On The Ground.

I Like The Idea Of A Proportional Tax. That Way You Pay According To Your Ability.

Education Does Not Necessarily Make One Wise?

Everybody Has Barriers And Obstacles. If You Look At Them As Containing Fences That Don't Allow You To Advance, Then You're Going To Be A Failure. If You Look At Them As Hurdles That Strengthen You Each Time You Go Over One, Then You're Going To Be A Success.

If Someone Has A Muslim Background And They're Willing To Reject Those Tenets And To Accept The Way Of Life That We Have And Clearly Will Swear To Place Our [american] Constitution Above Their Religion, Then, Of Course, They Will Be Considered Infidels And Heretics, But At Least I Would Then Be Quite Willing To Support Them.

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

Do Your Best And Let God Do The Rest.

There Is No Fulfillment In Things Whatsoever. And I Think One Of The Reasons That Depression Reigns Supreme Amongst The Rich And Famous Is Some Of Them Thought That Maybe Those Things Would Bring Them Happiness. But What, In Fact, Does Is Having A Cause, Having A Passion. And That's Really What Gives Life's True Meaning.

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

Appropriateness

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

I Am Asking The Congress, Which Represents The People, To Declare A War On Isis So That We Can Begin The Process Of Excising That Cancer And Begin The Healing Process, And Bring Peace, Prosperity, And Safety Back To America.

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.

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

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.

Before God,no God,after Him,there Will Be No God.

People Are Simply Not Willing To Look At Their Problems Honestly And Admit That They Have Problems.

It Does Not Matter Where We Come From Or What We Look Like. If We Recognize Our Abilities, Are Willing To Learn And To Use What We Know In Helping Others, We Will Always Have A Place In The World.

I Grew Up In Detroit. I Grew Up In An Environment Where You Were Supposed To Be Democrat, Where They Told You That Republicans Were Evil People And That They Were Racist.

I Always Say If God Didn't Allow Any Bad Things To Happen We Would Already Be In Heaven, And We Are Not There.

Call It Whatever You Need To Call It To Make It Feel Good To You. But The Fact Of The Matter Is, I've Been In Lots Of Place Growing Up And Listening To People Tell Great Tales Of Sexual Conquest. It Is An Immature Thing To Do -

What If Someone Hit Us With An Emp, Cyber-attack, And Dirty Bomb All At Once? That Would Be Pretty Bad.

I Wouldn't Go To War Over Ukraine.

We Need To Understand That We Are Not Each Others' Enemies In This Country. And It Is Only The Political Class That Derives Its Power By Creating Friction. It Is Only The Media That Derives Its Importance By Creating Friction... That Uses Every Little Thing To Create This Chasm Between People. This Is Not Who We Are.

It's Ridiculous That Our Solar System, Not To Mention The Universe Outside Of That, Is Extraordinarily Well Organized, To The Point Where We Can Predict 70 Years Away When A Comet Is Coming.

I've Had A Lot Of Experience Building Things, Organizing Things, A National Scholarship Program.

Building Things

If You Go And Talk To Most People, They Mean Well But They Don't Have Much Of A Breadth On Education, Of Knowledge Of Understanding What The Real Issues Are And Therefore They Listen To Pundits On Television Who Tell Them What They Are Supposed To Think And They Keep Repeating That Until Pretty Soon They Say, 'oh, Well That Must Be True.'

Joseph Built The Pyramids In Order To Store Grain. Now, All The Archeologists Think That They Were Made For The Pharaoh's Graves. But, You Know, It Would Have To Be Something Awfully Big, When You Stop And Think About It - And I Don't Think It Would Just Disappear Over The Course Of Time - To Store That Much Grain.

My Strong Belief Is That God Created Human Beings And Therefore He Knows About Every Aspect Of The Human Body. So If I Want To Fix It, I Just Need To Stay In Harmony With Him.

Why Would I Want To Run For Congress And Continue To Get Tainted With All The Things That People Get Tainted With As They Come Along The System.

If I Had A Little Kid In Kindergarten Somewhere, Would Feel Much More Comfortable If I Knew On That Campus There Was A Police Officer Or Somebody Who Was Trained With A Weapon. I Would Feel More Comfortable.

When We Are Confronted By Failure And Mistakes, We Can Leave Them Behind And Go On With Our Lives.

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.

If We Commit Ourselves To Reading Thus Increasing Our Knowledge, Only God Limits How Far We Can Go In This World.

It's A Very Wise Thing For People To Rationally Sit Down And Look At What The Risks Are Not Only On A Daily Basis, On A Weekly Basis, On A Monthly Basis, On A Yearly Basis, On A Lifetime Basis, And Then Plan One's Life Accordingly.

If We Don't Get The Military Right Nothing Else Matters.

If We Acknowledge Our Need For God, He Will Help Us.

As I Was Growing Up, People Were Always Trying To Talk About Their Sexual Conquests, Trying To Make Themselves Appear Like A Cassanova. I'm Surprised You Haven't Heard That, I Really Am.

Economic Models

It's A Failure Only If You Don't Get Anything Out Of It, Thomas Edison Said He Knew 999 Ways That A Light Bulb Did Not Work; Yet We Have Lights Today.

We've Gotten Into This - This Mindset Of Fighting Politically Correct Wars. There Is No Such Thing As A Politically Correct War. The Left, Of Course, Will Say Carson Doesn't Believe In The Geneva Convention, Carson Doesn't Believe In Fighting Stupid Wars. And - And What We Have To Remember Is We Want To Utilize The Tremendous Intellect That We Have In The Military To Win Wars.

When I Look At The Human Brain I'm Still In Awe Of It. Every Single Time You Lift Off The Bone And Open The Durra And There It Is - The Human Brain, The Thing That Gives A Person A Personality, That Distinguishes Each One Of Us, That There Could Be More Than 6 Billion Of Us Here On This Planet With Brains That Look The Same, But Each One Being Distinctly Different Because Of What Is Going On In That Thing. I'll Never Get Over My Awe Of That.

You Know, Many People Have Said That I'm On The Edge And I'm Maverick For Some Of The Big Operations That I've Done. I'm Not At All. I Pray; I Ask God To Give Me Wisdom, 'should I Do It?', Guidance In Terms Of How To Do It, Who To Consult With. All Those Kind Of Things Are Incredibly Important.

If I Speak In The Tongues Of Men And Of Angles, But Am Note Nice, I Am Only A Resounding Gong Or A Clanging Cymbal. If I Have The Gift Of Prophecy And Can Fathom All Mysteries And All Knowledge, And If I Have A Faith That Can Move Mountains, But Am Not Nice, I Am Nothing. If I Give All I Posses To The Poor And Surrender My Body To The Flames, But Am Not Nice, I Gain Nothing.

Quite Frankly, Having An Uninformed Populace Works Extremely Well, Particularly When You Have A Media That Doesn't Understand Its Responsibility And Feels More Like It's An Arm Of A Political Party. They Can Really Take Advantage Of An Uninformed Populace.

I'm A Part Of The Gop And Let Me Tell You What My Stance Is. My Stance Is That, We The People Have The Responsibility To Take Care Of The Indigent In Our Society. It's Not The Government's Job. You Can Read The Constitution All You Want, It Never Says That It Is The Government's Job And I Think Where We've Gotten Confused.

Over The Years My Mother's Steadfast Faith In God Has Inspired Me, Particularly When I Had To Perform Extremely Difficult Surgical Procedures Or When I Found Myself Faced With My Own Medical Scare.

If God Thinks Proportionality Is Fair Who Are We To Say That It Is Unfair?

Proportionality

But, You Know, We Have These Entrenched Entities - And I'm Talking About Both Republicans And Democrats - Who Believe That When You're Elected To Office, You Become Some Kind Of Member Of The Aristocracy, And That Anyone Who Challenges You Is Attacking You And Is Unpatriotic. This Is Foolishness.

There Is No Job More Important Than Parenting. This I Believe.

Things That Hillary Clinton Advocates Are Antithetical To Christian Values: Killing Babies, Redefining Institutions Established By God.

I First Wanted To Be A Psychiatrist. I Decided Against That In Medical School When I Discovered That Psychiatrists Didn't, In Reality, Do What They Did On Tv.

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

My Mother Only Had A Third Grade Education, Was Illiterate, Worked As A Domestic 2 To 3 Jobs At A Time, Because She Didn't Want To Be On Welfare, Because She Never Saw People Who Went On Welfare Come Off Of Welfare, And She Just Didn't Want To Have Her Life Controlled In That Fashion.

You Know, When You Go Into The Store And Buy A Box Of Laundry Detergent, And The Price Has Gone Up - You Know, 50 Cents Because Of Regulations....and Everything Is Costing More Money, And We Are Killing Our People Like This....it's The Evil Government That Is Putting All These Regulations On Us So That We Can't Survive.

Look At All Of The Out-of-wedlock Births That Are Going On, Particularly In Our Inner Cities. I Have Been Speaking At A Lot Of The Non-profit Organizations That Support Organizations That Support These Women So That They Don't Have An Abortion, So That They Have The Baby.

It Is Absolutely Vital That We Do All We Can To Allow Americans To Practice Their Religious Ways, While Simultaneously Ensuring That No One's Beliefs Infringe Upon Those Of Others. We Should Also Serve As Champions Of Freedom Of Religion Throughout The World.

When I Treat Other People With Kindness And Love, It Is Part Of My Way Of Paying My Debt To God And The World For The Privilege Of Living On This Planet.

Do We Have A Brain? Than Use It. It's All You Need To Overcome A Problem. That's The Secret. That's My Simple But Powerful Prescription For Life, Love, And Success In A Dangerous World.

If You Don't Have Anything Useful To Say Then You Attack People. If You Feel That Your House Of Cards Has Been Discovered And Is Starting To Come Unraveled, You Become Very Desperate.

Use Pma: Positive Mental Actitude.

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.

No Matter How Good You Are At Planning, The Pressure Never Goes Away. So I Don't Fight It. I Feed Off It. I Turn Pressure Into Motivation To Do My Best.

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.

We Don't Know The End From The Beginning The Way That God Does. So When A Child Dies, Sure That Is Incredibly Difficult, And When You Are The Parent, There Is Almost Nothing Anybody Can Say To You That Makes Any Sense.

The Outstanding Doctor Constantly Emphasized The Humanitarian Aspect Of Medical Care.

Those Of Us Who Believe In God And Derive Our Sense Of Right And Wrong And Ethics From God's Word Really Have No Difficulty Whatsoever Defining Where Our Ethics Come From.

The Most Important Thing For Me Is Having A Relationship With God. To Know That The Owner, The Creator Of The Universe Loves You, Sent His Son To Die For Your Sins; That's Very Empowering. Knowing Him And Knowing That He Loves Me Gives Me Encouragement And Confidence To Move Forward.

I Know That There Are Many Peaceful Muslims Who Do Not Adhere To These Beliefs. But Until These Tenants Are Fully Renounced...i Cannot Advocate Any Muslim Candidate For President.

Our Friends Can't Trust Us Anymore. You Know, Ukraine Was A Nuclear-armed State. They Gave Away Their Nuclear Arms With The Understanding That We Would Protect Them. We Won't Even Give Them Offensive Weapons.

I Think People Actually Notice Sometimes The Content Of What One Is Saying Rather Than The Decibel Level At Which He Says It. And A Lot Of Times When People Don't Have A Lot To Say, They Increase The Volume.

Anyone Who Can't Learn From Other People's Mistakes Simply Can't Learn, And That;s All There Is To It. There Is Value In The Wrong Way Of Doing Things. The Knowledge Gained From Errors Contributes To Our Knowledge Base.

No Matter Who You Are,no Matter What You Do-do Not Be Too Big For God.

I Have No Problem With Being Vetted. What I Do Have A Problem With Is Being Lied About And Then Putting That As Truth.

Successful People Don't Have Fewer Problems. They Have Determined That Nothing Will Stop Them From Going Forward.

Reading Activates And Exercises The Mind. Reading Forces The Mind To Discriminate.

You Should See The Eyes Of Some Of Those Children When I Say To Them We're Going To Have To Open Your Head Up And Take Out This Tumor. They're Not Happy About It, Believe Me. And They Don't Like Me Very Much At That Point. But Later On, They Love Me.

Creativity Is Just Learning To Do Something With A Different Perspective.

Cancer Can Be Attacked Directly By Metabolic Enzymes And Then Be Assisted By The Enzyme Diet Programme. The Second Greatest Cancer Breakthrough Of The 20th Century Is The Metabolic Organic Effect On Malignant Tumours Of Correcting The Body Fluid Ph To A Non-acidic Ph 7.1 To 7.5. A Neutral Ph 7.0 Resists Cancer Formation. An Acid Body Fluid Ph Of 6.44 And Below Permits Tumours To Biochemically Become Malignant. At Ph 7.5 Cancer May Become Inactive; At 8.5 Tumours May Disintegrate.

One Of The Reasons Surgeons Have So Much Trouble Separating Siamese Twins Is That Nobody Gets To Do Many Of Them. On The Table, The Anatomy Is So Different From Normal, That You're Constantly Trying To Figure Out, 'can I Cut This? Does This Wire Lead To What?' It's Like Trying To Defuse A Bomb.

Secular Progressivism, Which Attempts To Remove God From The Public Square, Is Not Consistent With The Principles That Established The Usa.

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.

Now, As Far As Monitoring Is Concerned, What My Point Is, We Need To Make Sure That Any Place - I Don't Care Whether It's A Mosque, A School, A Supermarket, A Theater, You Know It Doesn't Matter. If There Are A Lot Of People Getting There And Engaging In Radicalizing Activities Then We Need To Be Suspicious Of It.

If You Go Into Hasakah Province In Northeast Syria, That's An Area That's As Big As Lebanon. It's Controlled By The Kurds, The Christians And The Moderate Sunnis. And There Are Airstrips And Hotels.

Bullies Do Whatever They Can Get Away With And Keep Pushing Boundaries Until They Meet Resistance.

Maybe That's The Problem. But Whether They've Heard It Of Not. The Issue Is The Train That Is Going Off The Cliff.

I Think It Would Be A Wonderful Thing If We Bring Back Our Judeo-christian Values Once Again. I Think It Could Do Nothing But Help Us. I Would Be All In Favor Of That.
