There exists in the world today a gigantic reservoir of good will toward us, the American people.

Education is the mother of leadership.

I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.

Whenever we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.

It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.

No man has a right in America to treat any other man "tolerantly" for tolerance is the assumption of superiority. Our liberties are equal rights of every citizen.

The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.

Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.

When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.

I am not interested in the support of anybody who stands for any form of prejudice as to anybody's race or religion. . . . I have no place in my philosophy for such beliefs.

And political parties, overanxious for vote catching, become tolerant to intolerant groups.

The most important thing in life is to know the purpose of your calling, your vocation

If we read the Gospel, we shall know the goodness of the Good News.

My life is kinda like a story that if I told you about it, you probably wouldn't believe. It would seem like fiction. That's me.

In what way did your parents screw up to make you the woman you are today?

Am I lost or just less found?

Successful people have a social responsibility to make the world a better place and not just take from it.

in skies of deepening blue the moon, heaven's queen was now afloat

I love music; I was never the type of singer to say, "This is my specific genre, or I only sing R&B music." I feel like as a singer, you should be limitless and you shouldn't be stuck in a box.

I think sometimes I don't realise how much the pressure gets to me.

All I want to do, is write rock and roll that you could listen to as you got older, and it wouldn't lose anything; it would be timeless, in the subject matter and the literacy of the lyrics.
