We are more than just flesh and bones. 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 CARSONWe are more than just flesh and bones. 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 CARSONI pray before I go into the operating room for every case, and I ask him to give me wisdom, to help me to know what to do – and not only for operating, but for everything.
BEN CARSONWhat we have to stop and think about is that we have weakened ourselves militarily to such an extent that it affects all of our military policies.
BEN CARSONPeople spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing.
BEN CARSONResist this war on God, freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
BEN CARSONWe live in a country that used to have a can-do attitude, and now we have a ‘what-can-you-do-for-me?’ attitude, and what I try to do is find ways that we can develop common ground.
BEN CARSONThere is so much potential out there in young people and they aren’t getting the right information or being encouraged in the right ways. This is our duty as a society.
BEN CARSONWe 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.

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.

BEN CARSONYou can’t allow the forces of political correction to shut you up. I mean, why are people afraid to say, ‘Merry Christmas?’ Give me a break. If people don’t like it, yeah, they can go do something else.

BEN CARSONEvery time I am looking into the depths of somebody’s brain, I’m thinking, ‘This is what makes a person who they are. That structure contains memories. Everything that they’ve ever experienced is right in there.’
BEN CARSONWhat do lawyers learn in law school? They learn to win… What we’ve got to start thinking about is how do we solve problems.
BEN CARSONYou’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?’
