Balancing a nominal budget will solve nothing, and attempting to achieve such a spurious balance will produce much mischief.

Deficits do not in themselves produce inflation, nor does a balanced budget assure a stable price level.

Practically, the desirable situation ought to be one in which any reasonably responsible person willing to accept available employment can find a job paying a living wage within 48 hours.

It is impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more kittens.

Disobedience to conscience makes conscience blind.

You know, if I tried to change the minds of everyone who I thought needed changing, I'd never have time to do anything else.

As you commit your life to follow the Lord, He begins to plant His desires in your heart, then guides you according to His plan

The weakest link in a chain is the strongest because it can break it.

I don't know anyone on my mom's or dad's side that was a musician.

I never go out during the day without sunglasses.
