“Character is a journey, not a destination.”

When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable.

There is nothing more precious to a parent than a child, and nothing more important to our future than the safety of all our children.

Leadership means bringing people together in pursuit of a common cause, developing a plan to achieve it, and staying with it until the goal is achieved.

Yesterday is yesterday. If we try to recapture it, we will only lose tomorrow.

I admire that about the Republicans: The evidence does not faze them. They are not bothered at all by the facts.

We cannot idealize technology. Technology is only and always the reflection of our own imagination, and its uses must be conditioned by our own values. Technology can help cure diseases, but we can prevent a lot of diseases by old-fashioned changes in behavior.

There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.

When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it. That’s what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we’re going to have weapon sweeps.

I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.

I still believe in a place called Hope.

I am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions. We should not spend state funds on abortions because so many people believe abortion is wrong.

So much of modern politics is focused not on honest differences of policy but on personal attacks.

I’ve been in politics long enough to expect criticism and hostility. But I was unprepared for the hatred I get from Christians. Why do Christians hate so much?.

Keep your eyes on the prize and don’t turn back.

We must teach our children to resolve their conflicts with words, not weapons.

Sometimes there is a difference in what is legal and what ought to be done.

Great companies that build an enduring brand have an emotional relationship with customers that has no barrier. And that emotional relationship is on the most important characteristic, which is trust.

Our true character and intentions will always be revealed!

For individuals, character is destiny. For organizations, culture is destiny.

A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.

People who do not know how to laugh are always pompous and self-conceited.

I demand of you, and of the whole world, that you show me a generic character by which to distinguish between Man and Ape. I myself most assuredly know of none.

Deep down, I’m pretty superficial.

Money doesn’t change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.
