Will someone please explain to me the logic that says we can trust someone with a Boeing 747 in bad weather, but not with a Glock 9mm?

Silence isn't golden. It's yellow.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.

I truly believe that at times like this, silence is not golden. It is yellow.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

Why is it that there's more indignation over a photo of a prisoner with underwear on his head than over the video of a young American with no head at all?

I can remember when Democrats believed that it was the duty of America to fight for freedom over tyranny.

Where I come from, deeds mean a lot more than words.

When a child has no hope, a nation has no future.

Cover this confirmation process with prayer. When they make it harder for us to pray, we just pray harder.

For more than 20 years, on every one of the great issues of freedom and security, John Kerry has been more wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure.

We are only flesh and blood. We are only chemicals mixing and circuits firing, sometimes in disarray. We are, every last one of us, plagued by useless want.

I want to run until I can't run

If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power could come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish.

Some people get rich studying artificial intelligence. Me, I make money studying natural stupidity.

That outgrowth of arrogance comes at a price: some people don't like is. I take responsibility for that.

The hardest thing is remembering that you have some complicity in the things that happen to you in your life.

Human being's essential nature is perfect and faultless.

It is sad but true that sometimes we need the tragedy to help us to see how human we are and how we are more alike than we are different.

I think that the 'laws of nature' are also prone to evolve; I think they are more like habits than laws.

I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.
