[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.

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

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.

Clinging to our ideas of perfection isolates us from life and is a barrier.

I see in Jesus not only the supreme act of humility in God, but the supreme act of humanity in God.

Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned.

...sitting and waiting is one of the most miserable occupations known to man - not that it usually is known to men

Republics are brought to their ends by luxury; monarchies by poverty.

What do I think of the reverse sweep? It's like Manchester United getting a penalty and Bryan Robson taking it with his head

You cant put the toothpaste back in the tube.

You go your way I'll go your way too

Life hangs as nothing in the scale against dear Liberty!

There is no error, no addiction with more power than the Cross of Christ.
