Education is the mother of leadership.

I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.

Whenever we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.

It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.

No man has a right in America to treat any other man "tolerantly" for tolerance is the assumption of superiority. Our liberties are equal rights of every citizen.

The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.

Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.

I am not interested in the support of anybody who stands for any form of prejudice as to anybody's race or religion. . . . I have no place in my philosophy for such beliefs.

And political parties, overanxious for vote catching, become tolerant to intolerant groups.

It is, therefore, essential that we guard our own thinking and not be among those who cry out against prejudices applicable to themselves, while busy spawning intolerances for others.

It is never over until you are greatly rewarded for all your blood, sweat and tears.

I'm not good at taking pictures. I can't give a good face. I crack up.

You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

My weak suit is whatever each reader hates about each book.

Good infantry is without doubt the sinews of an army; but if it has to fight a long time against very superior artillery, it will become demoralized and will be destroyed.

I am doing what I love to do.

Time's violence rends the soul, by the rent eternity enters.
