We came into a broken world. And we’re the cleanup crew.

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.

Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth… That’s the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty of life.

I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don’t feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.

I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.

I suspect that even most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world conjured up in the liberals‘ imagination rather than in the kind of world we are in fact stuck with.

One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

At age nine, I got a paper route. Sixty-six papers had to be delivered to sixty-six families every day. I also had to collect thirty cents a week from each customer. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to keep the rest. When I didn’t collect, the balance came out of my profit. My average income was six dollars a week.

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.

Those who commit injustice bear the greatest burden.

Woe to him that claims obedience when it is not due; woe to him that refuses it when it is.

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

America is the greatest country in the world.

And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.

I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.

Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.

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.

The buck stops here!

Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself.

With Benghazi, I don’t see anyone saying, ‚Hey look, I am overall responsible for this and therefore, I take responsibility for what happened. It’s my fault.‘ I haven’t heard that yet. Meanwhile, the other side of the coin, the Osama bin Laden raid, it seems everyone made that decision, and that’s just unbelievable to me.

Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.

Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works.

Every man, every woman who has to take up the service of government, must ask themselves two questions: ‚Do I love my people in order to serve them better? Am I humble and do I listen to everybody, to diverse opinions in order to choose the best path?‘ If you don’t ask those questions, your governance will not be good.
