We have an obligation to live in harmony with creation, with our capital... with God's creation. And we need to administer and work that very carefully.

I am one of those people who deeply resents not having been born in the 19th century, when there were still open places to explore.

We've set aside tens of millions of acres of those northwestern forests for perpetuity. The unemployment rate has gone not up, but down. The economy has gone up.

It is like living in a wilderness of mirrors. No fact goes unchallenged.

I was nurtured in the church; I went to a Catholic school; I was an altar boy; I went to a Catholic university; I was steeped in the moral tradition of the Catholic Church. My Catholicism plays a very strong role. But I thought President John F.Kennedy answered rather well when he said that ultimately my conduct as a public official does not come ex cathedra from Rome; it comes from my conscience.

We have an obligation to live in harmony with creation, with our capital... with God's creation. And we need to administer and work that very carefully.

We must identify our enemies and drive them into oblivion.
