I believe the home and marriage is the foundation of our society and must be protected.

Subordination tends greatly to human happiness. Were we all upon an equality, we should have no other enjoyment than mere animal pleasure.

The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front row seat.

Democracy don’t rule the world, You’d better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that’s better left unsaid.

The chain of wedlock is so heavy that it takes two to carry it – and sometimes three.

The public is a ferocious beast; one must either chain it or flee from it.

Society therefore is as ancient as the world.

Married or single, you sisters possess distinctive capabilities and special intuition you have received as gifts from God. We brethren cannot duplicate your unique influence.

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?

To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.

I have ‚Parents‘ magazine in my home.

I simply can’t build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death… I think… peace and tranquillity will return again.

A well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people.

I am certain no one sets out to be cruel, but our treatment of the elderly ill seems to have no philosophy to it. As a society, we should establish whether we have a policy of life at any cost.

I don’t think even ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly influence at all.

He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed.

No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.

Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.

So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.

The husband who decides to surprise his wife is often very much surprised himself.

Remember, it’s as easy to marry a rich woman as a poor woman.

We were born with a capacity to grow, love, marry, and form families.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

Old men are dangerous: it doesn’t matter to them what is going to happen to the world.

All government, of course, is against liberty.

Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.

There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.

There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.

Family home evening is more for the purpose of teaching values and gospel principles, displaying talents and enjoying different kinds of family fun and activities.

In our home there was always prayer – aloud, proud and unapologetic.

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

We live in an imperfect world, and imperfect people surround us every day.

My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.

A good lawyer is going to try to protect her client.

I would probably have more in common with a whale than with a bourgeois married couple employed at worthy institutions that I would wipe from the face of the earth if it was given to me to do so.

Part of your heritage in this society is the opportunity to become financially independent.

My wife and I love each other very much.

I felt we must separate political responsibility. The Dalai Lama should not carry that burden. So that is my selfish reason – to protect the old Dalai Lama tradition. It is safer without political involvement.

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.

How terribly downright must be the utterances of storms and earthquakes to those accustomed to the soft hypocrisies of society.

I truly believe that when the history books are written, our age will be remembered for three things: the war on terror, the digital revolution, and what we did – or did not do – to put the fire out in Africa. History, like God, is watching what we do.

Once you get a spice in your home, you have it forever. Women never throw out spices. The Egyptians were buried with their spices. I know which one I’m taking with me when I go.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.

We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country.

All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.

For too long in this society, we have celebrated unrestrained individualism over common community.

Pakistan will never be able to match the Indian militarily, and the effort to do so is taking an immense toll on the society.

It’s amazing to me the number of people who will volunteer to help at church but won’t lift a finger to help at home!

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

Wives are young men’s mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men’s nurses.

Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities.

In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors, for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards, not downwards.

Free speech is not just another value. It’s the foundation of Western civilization.

We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.

In the course of a marriage, one accommodates the other.

Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.

Work is that which you dislike doing but perform for the sake of external rewards. At school, this takes the form of grades. In society, it means money, status, privilege.

Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they expect the same of us.

Never marry someone in hope that they’ll change later.

I like actors very much, but to marry one would be like marrying your brother. You look too much alike in the mirror.
