Taylor Swift said haters are going to hate.

I also know that every person faces adversity in life. Abraham Lincoln held this seat in Congress in one term. But few faced as many defeats in his personal, business and public life as he did.

It's great to be in a room full of young people...The average age of the Senate, I think, is death.

I know that God has a plan for my life.

I take four planes a week, honestly. You know, I am for intelligence screening.

Each year I host a leadership summit in my district, and my biggest advice to young people is get experience. Get your foot in the door.

Life is the opportunity to create moments of wonder.

I think the Canadian sense of humor is dryer than America's and juicier than Britain's. I think it's a cross between the two of them, really.

I have a fear of letting my mind wander. I'm afraid it might not come back.

Love and laughter go together; and laughter is one of the greatest medicines.

Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough, and people will surprise and impress you. It might even take years, but people will show you their good side. Just keep waiting.

The juice goes out of Christianity when it becomes too based on faith rather than on living like Jesus or seeing the world as Jesus saw it.

To suffer unecessarily is masochistic rather than heroic.
