At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

We are so conformist; nobody is thinking. We are all sucking up stuff; we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.

When we make progress quickly, it feeds our emotions. Then, when there’s a period of waiting or we hit a plateau, we find out how committed we really are and whether we’re going to see things through to the finish or quit.

Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.

‚Whole Women’s Health‘ made it very clear that poor women were no longer going to be left out.

When men do not have healthy notions of the Divinity, false ideas supplant them, just as in bad times one uses counterfeit money when there is no good money.

There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down. When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I’ll just put the stool out there and I’ll talk to Mr. Obama and ask him why he didn’t keep all of the promises he made to everybody.

We can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

While victimhood in America is exalted, I don’t think our veterans should join those ranks.

Tyrants seldom want pretexts.

Homophobia is real in this country.

I was being trained because I wanted to be a preacher like my father. I wanted to talk about Moses; I wanted to talk about God… I wanted to talk about the apostles, the disciples and all that.

The middle class is so funny, it’s the class I know best, and it’s the class where you find the most pretension, so that’s what makes the middle classes so funny.

It is very nearly impossible… to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.

I think that there’s no doubt that as I see friends, families, children of gay couples who are thriving, you know, that has an impact on how I think about these issues.

A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. But what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? Prayer!

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.

Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

There is a group of people that I think in good faith honestly believe that further curtailing our Second Amendment rights will enhance public safety. But there’s another group that just hates the Second Amendment.

The only definition by which America’s best days are behind it is on a purely relative basis.

You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.

As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

Employers have decided that having the breadth of knowledge that’s associated with a four-year degree is often something they want to see in the people they give that job to.

It is a pleasant thing to reflect upon, and furnishes a complete answer to those who contend for the gradual degeneration of the human species, that every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.

The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.

Education is indoctrination if you’re white – subjugation if you’re black.

I don’t really regard myself as a political figure.

I will not sit in a room with black people when the N word is used. I know it was meant to belittle a person, so I will not sit there and have that poison put on me. Now a black person can say, ‚Oh, you know, I can use this word because I’m black.‘

I hold that while man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.

I believe we can continue the Great Society while we fight in Vietnam.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God’s eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews – everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.
