“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.”

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.

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.

The majority of children born into the world tend to inherit the beliefs of their parents, and that to me is one of the most regrettable facts of them all.

Spending time with children reminds you what a happy place the world can be.

Do not raise your children the way your parents raised you; they were born for a different time.

All my films are all my children.

Falling in love, you remain a child; rising in love, you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love – now you are love.

I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children.

I have very good executives and great children. They’re very good.

As a child I grew up with a school curriculum that totally glossed over British colonialism and British slavery.
