I don't categorize food as bad or a guilty pleasure.

I'm an all-things-in-moderation kind of person. I do eat a warm donut occasionally. I especially enjoy a cider donut when I'm apple picking. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!

God's justice and God's mercy do not quarrel with each other.

Christians belong in American politics because there is not and cannot be a fundamental separation between our moral vocation and our citizenship.

The one important thing you do as boss is you set the standard. The minute you go in and say 'we'll let it go this time,' you set a new standard, which is lower. So you cannot do that.

Our first responsibility is to protect the American people and we cannot put on blinders to expect that everyone who seeks asylum does so in good faith.

I want to break down some of the stigma associated with mental illness.

I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.

I have always believed that one should not be scared of losing, I think that really is the key.

Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.

The lonely sunsets flare forlorn Down valleys dreadly desolate; The lonely mountains soar in scorn As still as death, as stern as fate.

The Olympics are kind of weird. You have to be on a team. That's cool if you're a skier. But in snowboarding, you just want to be your own person.
