You’re a slave if you let the media tell you that sports and entertainment are more important than developing your brain.

I 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.

This 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 CARSON
