I sometimes think if someone appealed the Ten Commandments to some of our courts, they would rule - 'Thou shalt not, unless you feel strongly to the contrary'.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.

The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.

A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

If more government is the answer, then it was a really stupid question.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

It's not that liberals aren't smart, it's just that so much of what they know isn't so

I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.

I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.

Our relationship had been doomed form the start, because it was based on grief, and unlike love, grief eventually passed.

Blessings are not known till they be lost.

You must write for the waste basket.

Government schools will teach children that government is wonderful.

I believe I'm doing the right thing in trying to step away from that and to take chances and work on little independent films and do stuff like that wild dance scene.

I don't think anyone really knows the purpose of their existence.
