Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.

The unexamined life is not worth living to a human.

A dog will look up on you; a cat will look down on you; however, a pig will see you eye to eye and know it has found an equal.

History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.

... Religion ... [is] the basis and foundation of government ... before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe.

We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind of self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.

A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.
