I just have to believe that with love for our natural heritage and a firm resolve to preserve it with wisdom and care, we can and will give the American land to our children, not impaired, but enhanced. And in doing this, we'll honor the great and loving God who gave us this land in the first place.

America is a melting pot, and education has been a mainspring for our democracy and freedom, a means of providing gifts of knowledge and opportunity to all citizens, no matter how humble their background, so they could climb higher, help build the American dream, and leave a better life for those who follow.

The family has always been the cornerstone of American society.

I don't want to do a TV series. It's no fun working from dawn to sunset every day. An occasional movie would be fine, and then I'll see what might develop on the political front.

You can never underestimate the ability of the Democrats to wet their finger and hold it in the wind.

I've always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world would disappear if we were talking to each other instead of about each other.

May every day be a new beginning, and every dawn bring us closer to that shining city upon a hill.
