I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives when it's so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.

If I were president, I'd be very glad to see the Palestinians have a nation recognized by the United Nations. There's no downside to it.

Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring.

At the beginning of this year also, I called upon the North Korean side to open dialog between the responsible authorities of the South and the North at any place, at any time, and at any level, in order to prevent a recurrence of war and to cooperate to speed up the peaceful unification of our fatherland. However, no sincere response has yet been made by North Korea.

One of our nation's greatest leaders of all time was Hubert Horatio Hornblower.

Prostitution thrives in the United States. We focus in this country on punishing the girls. For every brothel owner or pimp or male customer, there are 50 girls who are arrested for being prostitutes. Other countries have tried the other way around, and it works beautifully...they bring the charges against the brothel owners and the pimps and the male customers, and they do not prosecute the girls, who quite often are brought into that trade involuntarily. It works quite well, by the way.

We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes - and we must.
