Live interviews are more difficult to distort.

In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.

The U.S. embargo imposed on Nicaragua, rather than weakening the Sandinistas, actually maintained them in power.

I often traveled to Nicaragua to speak against repressive policies by the Sandinista government.

I am still profoundly troubled by the war in Nicaragua. The United States launched a covert war against another nation in violation of international law, a war that was wrong and immoral.

I don't believe in lobbying only progressives and liberal members of Congress. I don't believe in doing interviews only with those who share my views. I want to reach a wider audience.

I always gave it the best shot I had, whether it went my way or not that night.

Cancer victimhood contains a permanent temptation to be self-centred and even solipsistic.

[H]appy or miserable, life is the only blessing which man possesses[.

I think when you're writing songs, it's impossible to not draw on personal experiences, whether it be traveling or girls, or anything.

For sov'reign pow'r reign not alone, Grace is the partner of the throne; Thy grace and justice mighty Lord, Shall well divide our last reward.

Pressure is what you live for...if you are going to be successful in life, you're going to have pressure.

Rejection is a gift and failure is the best educator, so when someone knocks you down, get back up!

You cannot buy experience. You have to fight for it.

Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels.

Atheists have just as much civil right to teach atheism as Christians have to teach Christianity; agnostics have just as much right to teach agnosticism as Christians have to teach their religion.
