Doing nothing in the face of a grave threat to the world is not an option.

The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.

We are seeing some challenges and some changes in American business, American enterprise, but the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award is a reminder of things that must never change: the passion for excellence, the drive to innovate, the hard work that goes with any successful enterprise.

We do not create terrorism by fighting the terrorists. We invite terrorism by ignoring them.

We come before God to pray for the missing and the dead, and for those who loved them... Our purpose as a nation is firm, yet our wounds as a people are recent and unhealed and lead us to pray... This world he created is of moral design. Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance, and love have no end, and the Lord of life holds all who die and all who mourn... Neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities, nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth can separate us from God's love.

The easiest time to be faithful is during a time of crisis. The hardest time for faith is when all is well.

I am mindful that we're all sinners.
