Our children need to see and hear about more black role models in many fields so they can make better choices.

BEN CARSONResist this war on God, freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
BEN CARSONThe mind controls so much of the body. We are much more than flesh and blood; we are complex systems. Patients do better when they have faith that they’re going to do better. That’s why I always tell my patients and their families not to neglect their prayers. There’s nobody I don’t say that to.
BEN CARSONYou know, many people have said that I’m on the edge and I’m maverick for some of the big operations that I’ve done. I’m not at all. I pray; I ask God to give me wisdom, ‘Should I do it?’, guidance in terms of how to do it, who to consult with. All those kind of things are incredibly important.
BEN CARSONIntelligent people tend to talk about the facts. They don’t sit around and call each other names. That’s what you can find on a third grade playground.
BEN CARSONYou have the ability to choose which way you want to go. You have to believe great things are going to happen in your life. Do everything you can – prepare, pray and achieve – to make it happen.
BEN CARSONYou know, I’m a physician. I like to diagnose things. And, you know, I’ve diagnosed some pretty, pretty significant issues that I think a lot of people resonate with.
BEN CARSONI was perhaps the worst student you have ever seen. You know, I thought I was stupid, all my classmates thought I was stupid, so there was general agreement.
BEN CARSONI would prefer to just continue to speak about truth and to speak about what makes sense.
BEN CARSONOur schools too often want to shut people up so they can’t talk about real solutions. People who think differently tend to clam up because they think something is wrong with their ideas.
BEN CARSONMy thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman.
BEN CARSONI’ve advocated a proportional tax system. You make $10 billion, you pay a billion. You make $10, you pay one. And everybody gets treated the same way.
BEN CARSONThere are a group of people who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get along, but that’s not going to be very helpful for us in the long run, in terms of solving our problems. And somebody has to be courageous enough to actually stand up to, you know, the bullies.
BEN CARSONOne of the reasons surgeons have so much trouble separating Siamese twins is that nobody gets to do many of them. On the table, the anatomy is so different from normal, that you’re constantly trying to figure out, ‘Can I cut this? Does this wire lead to what?’ It’s like trying to defuse a bomb.
BEN CARSONThere is so much potential out there in young people and they aren’t getting the right information or being encouraged in the right ways. This is our duty as a society.
BEN CARSONIf we can take young people who excel at the highest levels, put them on the same kind of pedestal as the all-state basketball player and the all-state football player, and begin to get the same kind of recognition, it will have a profound effect, and we are finding that it does.
