“No matter how good you are at planning, the pressure never goes away. So I don’t fight it. I feed off it. I turn pressure into motivation to do my best.”

I came to realize that if people could make me angry they could could control me. Why should I give someone else such power over my life?

Evolution and creationism both require faith. It’s just a matter of where you choose to place that faith.

Do not underestimate the importance of feeling special.

I am convinced that knowledge is power – to overcome the past, to change our own situations, to fight new obstacles, to make better decisions.

It doesn’t matter if you come from the inner city. People who fail in life are people who find lots of excuses. It’s never too late for a person to recognize that they have potential in themselves.

What a wonderful thing is to be able to contribute to the restoration of someone’s health. It’s not only a feeling that I’m worth something, but that I have something to contribute.

Why would I want to run for Congress and continue to get tainted with all the things that people get tainted with as they come along the system.

When I look at the human brain I’m still in awe of it.

If we acknowledge our need for God, he will help us.

Knowledge is the key that unlocks all the doors. You can be green-skinned with yellow polka dots and come from Mars, but if you have knowledge that people need, instead of beating you, they’ll beat a path to your door.

Our 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.

Every person is endowed with God-given abilities, and we must cultivate every ounce of talent we have in order to maintain our pinnacle position in the world.

There is no such thing as an average human being. If you have a normal brain, you are superior.

You know if there is a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you’re probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you’re probably gonna put your children out of the way. Doesn’t mean that you hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination.

Everybody has barriers and obstacles. If you look at them as containing fences that don’t allow you to advance, then you’re going to be a failure. If you look at them as hurdles that strengthen you each time you go over one, then you’re going to be a success.

Under Islamic Law, homosexuals – men and women alike – must be killed. Women must be subservient. And people following other religions must be killed.

Let me tell you, life is interesting regardless of when you are in the fight.

Natural hazards, however formidable, are inherently less dangerous and less uncertain than fighting hazards. All conditions are more calculable, all obstacles more surmountable than those of human resistance.

Conversely, it is correct to say that bringing about peace would be the best way to fight terror.

I don’t believe the United States will be ready to join Russia in fighting terrorists in Syria.

Fight the fighters, not their wars.

The Russians are fighting for us, for the world, and for their self.

There’s a time when people give their words to each other it has to mean something. I’m a street cat. I’ve belonged in gangs and when you had a partner, you went down with your partner whether you won the fight or lost it. You went down together.

Al-Qaeda has one ideology and they go back to the same leadership in Afghanistan or in Syria or in Iraq. That’s the question. You have tens of thousands of foreigners, that’s definitely correct. We are fighting them on the ground and we know this.
