I could easily have decided that life was cruel, that being black meant everything was stacked against me.
Ben CarsonBen Carson Let’s let everybody believe what they want to believe. And that means, P.C. police, don’t you be coming down on people who believe in God and who believe in Jesus.
Ben CarsonBen Carson There’s a certain spiritual nature and something of the mind that we can’t measure. We can’t find it. With all our sophisticated equipment, we cannot monitor or define it, and yet it’s there.
Ben CarsonBen Carson Here’s a nation, one of the founding pillars was freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

It is only the media that derives its importance by creating friction… that uses every little thing to create this chasm between people. This is not who we are.
Ben CarsonBen Carson I just happen to believe that people are not stupid. And the way I will come at it is to educate people, help people to actually understand that it is that progressive movement that is causing them the problems.
Ben CarsonBen Carson Nobody is starving on the streets. We’ve always taken care of them. We take care of our own; we always have. It is not the government’s responsibility.
Ben CarsonBen Carson Don’t let anyone turn you into a slave.
Ben CarsonBen Carson I was definitely an at-risk kid growing up.
Ben CarsonBen Carson People all over the nation are starved for honesty and common sense.
Ben CarsonBen Carson Intelligent 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 CarsonBen Carson Well, I say that the most important job you can possibly have is raising a child, and it needs to be treated that way. You have to show them, rather than just talk to them.
