I am a demonstrative man, a baby picker-upper, a hugger and a kisser--that's my nature.

Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.

Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be.

The reason there are so many stupid people is because it's illegal to kill them.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be some place else.

Very few of the so-called liberals are open-minded.... They shout you down and won't let you speak if you disagree with them.

A friend of mine told me to shoot first and ask questions later. I was going to ask him why, but I had to shoot him.

As long as there are flowers and children and birds in the world, have no fears: everything will be fine.

A regime which combines perpetual surveillance with total indulgence is hardly conducive to healthy development.

Growth that adds volume without improving productivity is fat. Growth that diminishes productivity is cancer.

I'm not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don't. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I'm concerned with.

There's no point of having faith if you have evidence.

We will suffer the moment we take our eyes off the End and get lost in the means.
