BENJAMIN CARSONIt does not matter where we come from or what we look like. If we recognize our abilities, are willing to learn and to use what we know in helping others, we will always have a place in the world.
BENJAMIN CARSONWe don’t need to set this up as we either take a bunch of refugees who will be infiltrated with terrorists, I guarantee you. For them not to be would be terrorist malpractice. And we need to – to choose the right choice, not these false choices.

BENJAMIN CARSONEven if somebody disagrees with you, their life is still valuable.
