Colleges need learning, faith, and freedom. Each reinforces the others, each makes the others possible. For what are they without each other?

[Ronald Reagan] called the image of [George] Washington praying on his knees in Valley Forge "the most sublime image in American history."

[John] McCain references favorite presidents like Teddy Roosevelt. Hillary cited Eleanor Roosevelt.

Learning is a good thing, but unless it's tempered by faith and a love of freedom, it can be very dangerous indeed.

Throughout American history our presidents have invoked our nation's founding fathers. This is particularly true of recent presidents.

You would hope that the supposed best of American educational institutions would teach its students about America as an institution.

Freedom cannot exist alone.

When Reagan was outspoken about his faith it was usually for a purpose, but never for getting votes.

If our presidents, or potential presidents, don't know this or don't articulate [an America ideal], that's a blown opportunity. The president can teach as well as lead.

Issues are important, yes, but issues come and go. America as an ideal is timeless.

It is quite sad, to me, that that ideal, that vision and understanding [of American founding ], doesn't seem to be a part of the current political season.

There is always a way forward if the responsible parties are willing to act.

I am enjoying my life because things aren't going the way I planned.

Wherever I am, if I've got a book with me, I have a place I can go and be happy.

ONE of the things we can learn from the devil is his perseverance in pursuing us. HE NEVER gives up.

My lectures were highly esteemed, but my operations less thought of, so that I am of opinion that my operations rather kept down my practice, than increased it.

I start sweating and shaking and having panic attacks if I am not at home.

Villains are fun to play.

He that fancies himself very enlightened, because he sees the deficiencies of others, may be very ignorant, because he has not studied his own.

We love to talk about justice. It's the doing of justice that's hard...I believe it is work we are called to do

People are governed with the head; kindness of heart is little use in chess.
