When a child grows up without a father, there is an empty place where someone must stand, providing an example of character and confidence.

I think leadership is more than being able to cross the t's and dot the i's. It's about character and integrity and work ethic.

Gun control is not the answer to stop crimes committed with firearms.

Here's a memonic device that I feel teaches how we can properly cope with failure. Forget about your failures; don't dwell on past mistakes Anticipate failure; realize that we all make mistakes. Intensity in everything you do; never be a failure for lack of effort. Learn from your mistakes; don't repeat previous errors. Understand why you failed; diagnose your mistakes so as to not repeat them. Respond, don't react to errors; responding corrects mistakes while reacting magnifies them. Elevate your self-concept. It's OK to fail, everyone does; now how are you going to deal with the failure

It sure made me feel good to be here today, and have so many people say so many kind things.
