BENJAMIN CARSONThere’s no such thing as useless knowledge. You never know what doors it’s going to open up for you.
BENJAMIN CARSONYou have to take a long-term look at something that fundamentally changes the power structure of America.
BENJAMIN CARSONThe outstanding doctor constantly emphasized the humanitarian aspect of medical care.
BENJAMIN CARSONWhat a wonderful thing is to be able to contribute to the restoration of someone’s health. It’s not only a feeling that I’m worth something, but that I have something to contribute.
