Freedom cannot exist alone.

[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.

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

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.

All Prophets were leaders

I wake up to find magic, I seek dreams and I crave imagination. This is my creed.

The window shades have all been removed. Nighttime is now free to encroach.

If you think that I am mad now, then take away my books, and you'll find I've completely gone insane!

When we’re good, we’re really good, and when we’re bad, it’s really bad. Two people that have that much passion must be doing something awfully right.

Books can change your life. Some of the most influential people in our lives are characters we meet in books.

Language is so different from life. How am I supposed to fit the one into the other? How can I bring them together?

Because I support the Second Amendment doesn't mean that I want people who shouldn't have guns to be able to threaten you, kill you or members of your family.

Watch out when you're getting all you want. Fattening hogs ain't in luck.

No matter what you say to yourself, you do want to win. You try to look casual, like you're not thinking, 'oh, please pick me.'
