In 1989 when I switched from Democrat to Republican, with God as my witness, not one thing changed about what I believed about one man and one woman in a marriage or about diversity of color. That's a good thing.

I don't know if anybody has moved up the ladder more quickly than I have.

It takes a lot of strength to let go.

I have often said one of the reasons more blacks don't support Republicans is because they don't trust the GOP establishment.

There can't be opportunity or jobs without investment and profit.

It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.

A Black man voting for the Republicans makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.
