I more than love you, I’m not whole without you. You are life itself to me. When you are gone I’m waiting for you to return so I can start living again.

I picture is worth 1000 denials.

Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did. To see those, those monkeys from those African countries— damn them, they're still uncomfortable wearing shoes!

Of all the millions of refugees we’ve seen in the modern world, their flight is always away from, not toward, the Communist world.

"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." ~Ronald Reagan

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

Status quo, you know, is Latin for ‘the mess we’re in’.

We will never recognize the true value of our own lives until we affirm the value in the life of others.

America itself is no accident of geography or political science, but part of God's plan to preserve and extend the sacred fire of human liberty. I, too, have been described as an undying optimist, always seeing a glass half full when some see it as half empty. And yes, it's true; I always see the sunny side of life.

The demography of happiness, in this study the government found out that young people are happier than old people, and they found out that people that earn more are happier than people that earn less, and they found out that well people are happier than sick people... It took $249,000 to find out that it's better to be rich, young and healthy than old, poor and sick.

If we’re free to dare – and we are – if we’re free to give – and we are – then we’re free to shape the future and have within our grasp all that we dream the future will be.
