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.

When I Entered High School I Was An A-student, But Not For Long. I Wanted The Fancy Clothes. I Wanted To Hang Out With The Guys. I Went From Being An A-student To A B-student To A C-student, But I Didn't Care. I Was Getting The High Fives And The Low Fives And The Pats On The Back. I Was Cool.

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. Intelligent People Tend To Talk About The Facts. They Don't Sit Around And Call Each Other Names. That's What You Can Find On A Third Grade Playground.

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

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 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.

Success Is Determined Not By Whether Or Not You Face Obstacles, But By Your Reaction To Them. And If You Look At These Obstacles As A Containing Fence, They Become Your Excuse For Failure. If You Look At Them As A Hurdle, Each One Strengthens You For The Next.

People Are Worried About If Somebody's Going To Say That I'm Islamophobic Or What Have You. This Is Craziness Because We Are At War. That's Why I Asked Congress, Go Ahead And Declare The War .

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

We Need To Be On A War Footing. We Need To Understand That Our Nation Is In Grave Danger.

Reading Activates And Exercises The Mind. Reading Forces The Mind To Discriminate. From The Beginning, Readers Have To Recognize Letters Printed On The Page, Make Them Into Words, The Words Into Sentences, And The Sentences Into Concepts. Reading Pushes Us To Use Our Imagination And Makes Us More Creatively Inclined.

We're Not Planning For The Future. If We Continue To Spend Ourselves Into Oblivion, We Are Going To Destroy This Nation.

I Would Like People To Recognize In Looking At My Story That The Person Who Has The Most To Do With What Happens To You Is You. It's Not The Environment, It's Not The Other People Who Were There Trying To Help You Or Trying To Stop You. It's What You Decide To Do And How Much Effort You Put Behind It.

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

I Would Love Us To Bring Back Our Juedo-christian Values And Begin To Teach Those Things, At A Time Other Than A Political Election.

Corporations Are Not In Business To Be Social-welfare Organizations; They Are There To Make Money.

We Have Much Better Policies Than The Democrats Do.

If You Don't Accept Excuses, Then People Will Stop Giving Them And Will Start Looking For Solutions.

The More I Learn About The Human Body, Our Environment, And The Universe, The More It Increases My Faith.

If We Set Our Priority "the Removal Of All Risk", We'll Soon Have Sterile, Stagnant, And Unstimulating Learning Environments.

I Think One Of The Keys To Leadership Is Recognizing That Everybody Has Gifts And Talents. A Good Leader Will Learn How To Harness Those Gifts Toward The Same Goal.

If We Can Redefine Marriage As Between Two Men Or Two Women Or Any Other Way Based On Social Pressures As Opposed To Between A Man And A Woman, We Will Continue To Redefine It In Any Way That We Wish, Which Is A Slippery Slope With A Disastrous Ending, As Witnessed In The Dramatic Fall Of The Roman Empire.

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