I believe the American people have a genuine and justifiable fear of government intrusion in what they instinctively know is going to be an ever more intrusive world.

Almost every great innovation was [created] by government.

My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'

Stand up, Chuck, let them see you.

I also acknowledge that prejudice runs very deep in our society. And, in the real world, discrimination rears its ugly head in the shadows, where it's very difficult to root it out.

Every other country where there's absolute chaos now, what is it? They're pluralistic without consensus. Look at almost every single country, from Syria, to Iraq, to Iran, Ukraine, no matter where it is. I just think it is totally counter to our tradition.

It is the most vicious of all crimes - to be abused by someone you had a relationship with! Because then you blame yourself.
