Marriage is a very sacred institution and should not be degraded by allowing every other type of relationship to be made equivalent to it.
BEN CARSONMarriage is a very sacred institution and should not be degraded by allowing every other type of relationship to be made equivalent to it.
BEN CARSONThis is a country for, of, and by the people not for, of, and by the government. If we turn it over to them we cannot complain about what they’re doing because this is a natural course of men and we have to hold their feet to the fire.
BEN CARSONThrough hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams.
BEN CARSONCorporations are not in business to be social-welfare organizations; they are there to make money.
BEN CARSONKids have what I call a built-in hypocrisy antenna that comes up and blocks out what you’re saying when you’re being a hypocrite.
BEN CARSONIn general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter.
BEN CARSONThere’s absolutely no reason at all that physicians, scientists, shouldn’t be involved in things that affect all of us.
BEN CARSONI would like people to recognize in looking at my story that the person who has the most to do with what happens to you is you. It’s not the environment, it’s not the other people who were there trying to help you or trying to stop you. It’s what you decide to do and how much effort you put behind it.
BEN CARSONIllogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home.
BEN CARSONI’m not a politician. I don’t want to be a politician, because politicians do what is politically expedient. I want to do what’s right.
BEN CARSONYou don’t have to be a brain surgeon to be a valuable person. You become valuable because of the knowledge that you have. And that doesn’t mean you won’t fail sometimes. The important thing is to keep trying.
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 always pray for God’s guidance in my life and he always provides it. He opens the right doors he shuts the right doors. And I have tremendous faith in him. He just guided my career in an amazing way.
BEN CARSONWhen I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student, but I didn’t care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool.
BEN CARSONGod has opened many doors of opportunity throughout my lifetime, but I believe the greatest of those doors was allowing me to be born in the United States of America.
BEN CARSONI don’t want my kids to grow up with no father like I did. I came to the conclusion a while ago that you can work until midnight and not be finished or you can work until 6 or 7 and not be finished. I decided I’d rather work until 6 or 7.
