“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?.”

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.

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.

Today’s possibilities are not tomorrows guarantees.

Abortion should not only be safe and legal, it should be rare.

You can put wings on a pig, but you don’t make it an eagle.

Everybody counts, everybody deserves a chance, everybody has a responsible role to play and we all do better when we work together.

Let’s create an integrated global community where we have shared benefits and responsibilities, and we don’t fight because of our differences.

We cannot build our own future without helping others to build theirs.

Success is not the measure of a man but a triumph over those who choose to hold him back.

If you want to have a good life you have to have some constructive outlet for your feelings.

I misled people, including even my wife.

Globalisation is not something that we can hold off or turn off. It is the economic equivalent of a force of nature, like wind or water.

Any president that lies to the American people should have to resign.

The problem with religion, because it’s been sheltered from criticism, is that it allows people to believe en masse what only idiots or lunatics could believe in isolation.

People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.

I release all criticism. I only give out that which I wish to receive in return. My love and acceptance of others is mirrored to me in every moment.

You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing and be nothing.

When you blame and criticize others, you are avoiding some truth about yourself.

Greatness occurs when your children love you, when your critics respect you and when you have peace of mind.

The more conscious I am of the work God has yet to do in me, the less critical I am about what he has yet to do in you
