Islam is a religion in which God requires you to send your son to die for him. Christianity is a faith in which God sends his son to die for you. - John Ashcroft

My family has never suggested to me that my identity or value to them depended on my station in life. I knew that they did not consider me any more or less valuable because I held some political office. They valued me as a husband and father, whether or not I won an election. Nor did they regard holding office on Capitol Hill or in the Missouri statehouse as the epitome of success. Quite the contrary, my family had endured numerous personal sacrifices because of my public positions.

How sad, that the group with the most access to the truth chose in several strategic instances to look the other way.

It is not enough that we have a guilty defendant. We must have an innocent system as well.
