There is so much potential out there in young people and they aren't getting the right information or being encouraged in the right ways. This is our duty as a society.

I've had a lot of experience building things, organizing things, a national scholarship program.

We seem to be afraid to give the Kurds weaponry. We like to send it for some strange reason through Baghdad, and then they only get a tenth of it.

The government is supposed to respond to the will of the people. Not dictate to the people what they are doing.

What I agree with is that we need a significantly changed taxation system. And the one that I've advocated is based on tithing, because I think God is a pretty fair guy.

I came to realize that if people could make me angry they could could control me. Why should I give someone else such power over my life?

I'd like to be remembered as someone who got others to recognize the potential that was within them.
