Learning is a good thing, but unless it's tempered by faith and a love of freedom, it can be very dangerous indeed.

[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.

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.

Freedom cannot exist alone.

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.

Truth always lags last limping along on the arm of Time.

There isn't no call to go talking of pushing and pulling. Boats are quite tricky enough for those that sit still without looking for further for the cause of trouble.

Don't simply retire from something have something to retire to.

I object to a legal approach when settling questions of science or scientific behavior.

Fruit forced is never half so sweet / As that comes quite in season.

Be kind to dumb people.

Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Faith is the foundation upon which a godlike character is built. It is a prerequisite for all other virtues.

The gospel is not weight, it is wings. It carries us.

Metro shows no signs of being able to make its trains run on time. This occurs during single-tracking and it occurs during normal rush hour service.
