What has happened at Guantanamo Bay… does not represent the will of the American people. I’m embarrassed about it, I think its wrong. I think it does give terrorists an unwarranted excuse to use the despicable means to hurt innocent people.

If virtue promises happiness, prosperity and peace, then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us, progress is always an approach toward it.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbour them.

I say a murder is abstract. You pull the trigger and after that you do not understand anything that happens.
