My most basic credo is: I never said freedom was cheap. And it ain't. Never will be. It's been the highest priced and most precious commodity in my life.

Treat me good, I'll treat you better, treat me bad and I'll treat you worse.

The greatest thing that I have learned is probably the simplest thing any of us can learn: I am who I am.

Freedom is what we all seek, but it's what we do with that freedom that ultimately defines our character. In the end, a man's character cements his fate, good or bad.

I always look ahead, to the side, but never back.

Treat people the way you want to be treated. When they don't treat you back that way, react. React to everything.

You don't see people in prison treating each other the way people do on the outside, and the reason is that if you're rude to somebody in prison, you get killed.

If you lie down and let somebody kick you, you're never going to get nowhere. You have to stand up.

Find your speed, maintain your velocity, keep it up, keep it consistent, and stay in the pocket.

Try to remember the reason you started riding a motorcycle in the first place. For me, it was a couple of things but mostly rebellion.

Don't ever hit a person first, but if anybody ever puts their hands on you, you hit them right between the eyes.

There comes a time when time itself is ready for a change.

It has been my experience that law enforcement reports are littered with fabrications, inaccuracies, omissions, fraud, fantasies and willful blindness.

When your soul is resting, your emotions are okay, your mind is okay, and your will is at peace with God, not resisting what He's doing.

My demons and I are not compatible. We never have been and never will be.

I intend to defeat ISIS, to do so in a coalition with majority Muslim nations.

If I am a Republican shill, wouldn't you think I am the least amount of a threat to the president?

Support for Saddam, including within his military organization, will collapse after the first whiff of gunpowder.

I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me

I feel like it's impossible to be completely yourself, because you'll always get bored; you have to push your own limits.

I would that there was nothing in the world But my beloved that night and day had perished, And all that is and all that is to be, All that is not the meeting of our lips.
