“Life is just too short to go quail hunting with the wrong people.”

We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes – and we must.

I’d like to be remembered as someone who was a champion of peace and human rights.

Unless both sides win, no agreement can be permanent.

Communicating our questions, hopes, and fears in prayer makes them-even to ourselves-more open and clear.

The test of a government is not how popular it is with the powerful and privileged few but how honestly and fairly it deals with the many who must depend on it.

We simply must have faith in each other, faith in our ability to govern ourselves, and faith in the future of this Nation. Restoring that faith and that confidence to America is now the most important task we face.

One of our nation’s greatest leaders of all time was Hubert Horatio Hornblower.

We know that a peaceful world cannot long exist, one-third rich and two-thirds hungry.

I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives when it’s so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.

Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself.

Faith implies a continuing search, not necessarily a final answer.

It’s not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.

Because (grandparents) are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young without having to take daily responsibility for them, they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations.

We cannot resort to simplistic or extreme solutions which substitute myths for common sense.

We cannot be both the world’s leading champion of peace and the world’s leading supplier of the weapons of war.

The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.

The balance in your life is more important than the balance in your checking account.

The enemy’s plan is to take away God’s glory. God’s plan is to have as much glory shown through your life.

I learned all about life with a ball at my feet.

There is no sin worse in life than being boring.

In my lifetime, I may have put too much emphasis on winning, because here I am an old man and the only fun I’ve had is winning, and that’s ridiculous.

Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything.

If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love.

Hold loosely to the things of this life, so that if God requires them of you, it will be easy to let them go.
