The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my convictions is that the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated.

The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded.

Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.

Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.

If our nation is ever taken over, it will be taken over from within.

The purpose of the Constitution is to restrict the majority's ability to harm a minority.

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.

The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments, in times of peace and security.

Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm.

Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.

Forget mistakes. Forget failure. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it. Today is your lucky day.

It's a great relationship when you can work with the person who you consider to be your soul mate.

Recovering from the suicide of a loved one, you need all the help you can get.

Under a bad cloak there is often a good drinker

Life s picture is constantly undergoing change. The spirit beholds a new world every moment.

Any good software engineer will tell you that a compiler and an interpreter are interchangeable.

If Bruce Springsteen, Harlan Howard, or Tom Waits can tell a character's whole story in four minutes, maybe you don't need as many words as you think to make an impact.

I feel today's society is so judgmental.
