I would prefer to just continue to speak about truth and to speak about what makes sense.
BEN CARSONI would prefer to just continue to speak about truth and to speak about what makes sense.
BEN CARSONWe have much more in common with other people than we have apart.
BEN CARSONThe P.C. police are out in force at all times… We’ve reached a point where people are actually afraid to talk about what they want to say.
BEN CARSONI could easily have decided that life was cruel, that being black meant everything was stacked against me.
BEN CARSONIf we can take young people who excel at the highest levels, put them on the same kind of pedestal as the all-state basketball player and the all-state football player, and begin to get the same kind of recognition, it will have a profound effect, and we are finding that it does.
BEN CARSONOur children need to see and hear about more black role models in many fields so they can make better choices.
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 CARSONThere’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 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 CARSONThrough hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams.
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 CARSONOur 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.
BEN CARSONMy strong belief is that God created human beings and therefore he knows about every aspect of the human body. So if I want to fix it, I just need to stay in harmony with Him.
