I would like people to recognize in looking at my story that the person who has the most to do with what happens to you is you. It's not the environment, it's not the other people who were there trying to help you or trying to stop you. It's what you decide to do and how much effort you put behind it.

If we don't get the military right nothing else matters.

Successful people don't have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.

Why would I want to run for Congress and continue to get tainted with all the things that people get tainted with as they come along the system.

No matter who you are,no matter what you do-do not be too big for GOD.

Illogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home.

One of the reasons surgeons have so much trouble separating Siamese twins is that nobody gets to do many of them. On the table, the anatomy is so different from normal, that you're constantly trying to figure out, 'Can I cut this? Does this wire lead to what?' It's like trying to defuse a bomb.
