More from Ben Carson
In 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 CarsonBen Carson 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.

Ben CarsonBen Carson We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society.
Ben CarsonBen Carson When 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 CarsonBen Carson You’re going to be much less likely to point the finger at somebody and create a huge brouhaha when it wasn’t necessary if you had stopped and asked yourself, ‘Could I have done things to prevent this situation?’
Ben CarsonBen Carson We need to understand that we are not each others’ enemies in this country. And it is only the political class that derives its power by creating friction. 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.
