I believe it from the bottom of my heart, and your sons and daughters, too, can have the American dream come true.

I've had the best of the years, and I don't want a single year back.

We're all social beings. We internalize ideas from our socialization.

The world has many places that can make us uncomfortable. Calling them evil, or any other bad name, doesn’t make them go away.

When you know yourself—your strengths, joys, limitations, and fears—you can live in truth and transparency in all areas of your life.

It takes solitude under the stars, for us to be reminded of our eternal origin and our far destiny.

My powers of empathy, my ability to reach into another's heart, cannot penetrate the blank stares of those who would murder innocents with abstract, serene satisfaction.

Getting emotional about things is a peacetime luxury. In wartime, it's much too painful.

The sinner sins against himself; the wrongdoer wrongs himself, becoming the worse by his own action.

A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and of many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own.

You just say the word, and I'll make the rest of the world go away. I'll take you someplace safe, where no one else can reach us.
