And I've always said, 'If two people think the same thing about everything, one of them isn't necessary.' We need to be able to understand that if we're going to make real progress.

I always pray before any of the operation. I think God help me know what to do.

If we can redefine marriage as between two men or two women or any other way based on social pressures as opposed to between a man and a woman, we will continue to redefine it in any way that we wish, which is a slippery slope with a disastrous ending, as witnessed in the dramatic fall of the Roman Empire.

A lot of people simply don't realize their potential because they're just so risk adverse. They just don't want to take the risk.

There is no job more important than parenting. This I believe.

That's the only way we're going to get through these programs. That is true compassion. Having people become dependent on others is not compassion at all.

So after a while, if people won't accept your excuses, you stop looking for them.
