I think we understand that for the Court to work well, we have to not only respect but genuinely like each other.

Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.

In my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no blood shed unless it be forced upon the government. The government will not use force unless force is used against it.

That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures, and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.

That is America. That is America. Those bonds of affection; that common creed. We don’t fear the future; we shape it. We embrace it, as one people, stronger together than we are on our own.

I don’t keep people around me that aren’t family. You don’t get to stay. Unless you’re eating at the table with us, you’re not part. We eat together, we cry together, we live together, we die together. Everything that we do is for each other, and we care for another.

War is the continuation of politics by other means.

I got a greater purpose. God put something in my heart to get across, and that’s what I’m going to focus on, using my voice as an instrument and doing what needs to be done.

The lessons from the peace process are clear; whatever life throws at us, our individual responses will be all the stronger for working together and sharing the load.

When you’re a little kid, you don’t see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.

The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.

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!

You’ve got to reach a hand of friendship across the aisle and across philosophies in this country.

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

I am a tough guy.

It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I’m a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can’t be too small to suit me.

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.

My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family. I don’t care what your job is, you’re not gonna talk down to me, you’re not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I’m a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened.

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

I don’t think I’m supposed to boss other people around just because I’m a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I’ve seen it happen. I don’t call those people out – they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.

Salvation and Christ’s love is a gift. You don’t earn it. You’ve got to receive that gift.
