“If you get knocked down – setbacks in life, like applying for a job if they don’t hire you – keep trying, keep getting up, keep doing it.”

As a kid, I got three meals a day. Oatmeal, miss-a-meal and no meal.

As a Christian, you forgive, and you feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and you visit the sick and comfort the lonely.

Everybody loved ‘The A-Team’ because it was entertainment, pure and simple.

I didn’t come to Hollywood. Hollywood came to me. A lot of people wish they could say the things I say. Everyone out here is so phony, it’s sickening.

I’m not a star. I don’t feel I’m so great. So how can I make you feel great just because you’ve got my signature on a piece of paper?

My mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.

It takes a smart man to play dumb.

Whatever role I play is a positive role; it’s a strong role. Never negative.

To be a bodyguard is to be a kamikaze pilot. Dedicated.

Sometimes the type of person from the old machine, who is everything but an appealing figure, happens to win an election. But democracy applies to everyone, not just the noble and the clever.

Whatever man may stand, whatever he may do, to whatever he may apply his hand – in agriculture, in commerce, and in industry, or his mind, in the world of art, and science.

The uses to which it may be applied are limited only by an individual’s imagination.

If you don’t have a goal or purpose to strive for, I don’t think that you have much of a life. You’ve got to have something to do that you want to apply yourself to – that’s what living is all about.
