What do lawyers learn in law school? They learn to win… What we’ve got to start thinking about is how do we solve problems.

Benjamin Carson

To THINK BIG and to use our talents doesn’t mean we won’t have difficulties along the way. We will – we all do… If we choose to see the obstacles in our path as barriers, we stop trying. “We can’t win,” we moan. “They won’t let us win.”
BENJAMIN CARSON

Mean Thinking Winning
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.

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.

Country Fire Men
I’m a part of the GOP and let me tell you what my stance is. My stance is that, we the people have the responsibility to take care of the indigent in our society. It’s not the government’s job.
BENJAMIN CARSON

You 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.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Ruthless is not necessarily the word I would use, but tough, resolute, understanding what the problems are, and understanding that the job of the president of the United States is to protect the people of this country and to do what is necessary in order to get it done.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Country Job Order
There 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.
BENJAMIN CARSON

The point is, we can decry the dangers we face or ignore them or even allow ourselves to be paralyzed by fear.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Marriage is between a man and a woman. No group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn’t matter what they are – they don’t get to change the definition.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Belief Crazy Gay
In my own personal life, God plays a great role in the risk, because I 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.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Ask Giving Play Risk Wisdom
Rather than reacting to every risk we hear and see, we should make an effort to discern which ones we can do something about.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Effort Risk Should
The government is supposed to respond to the will of the people. Not dictate to the people what they are doing.

There is a tendency of people to try to make you believe only a few people are smart. As a brain surgeon, I know better than that.

I think God’s a pretty fair guy.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Some people say you’re weak because, you know, you’re not loud and you’re not boisterous and you’re not rude. But the fact of the matter is, look and see what I’ve done. And that speaks volumes about strength.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Boisterous People Rude
Knowledge makes people special. Knowledge enriches life itself.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Knowledge People Special
And I know you’re not supposed to say ‘Nazi Germany,’ but I don’t care about political correctness. You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe.

Why I’ve advocated a proportional tax system. You make $10 billion, you pay a billion. You make $10, you pay one. And everybody gets treated the same way. And you get rid of the deductions, you get rid of all the loopholes.

Obviously, discipline is necessary for children. Training is necessary for children. Just like if you want to train a vine, you have to apply physical manipulation to get it to go where you want it to go, but as it learns, then you don’t have to do that.

I don’t know why there is this penchant for snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory, they’ll find some way to destroy themselves. And it is just maddening to see it happening.
