When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.

Education is the mother of leadership.

I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.

Whenever we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.

It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.

No man has a right in America to treat any other man "tolerantly" for tolerance is the assumption of superiority. Our liberties are equal rights of every citizen.

The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.

Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.

I am not interested in the support of anybody who stands for any form of prejudice as to anybody's race or religion. . . . I have no place in my philosophy for such beliefs.

It is, therefore, essential that we guard our own thinking and not be among those who cry out against prejudices applicable to themselves, while busy spawning intolerances for others.

My intellect is so limited, Lord, that I can only trust in You to preserve me as I should be.

Sometimes you have to go through the worst, to get to the best. Keep moving forward. Be patient.

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

What I went into the acting business for was to have a certain amount of chaos in my life. I don't know what I'm doing next. It's exciting. That's the way I like it.

Beauty is at once the ultimate principle and the highest aim of art.

A woman in such an emotional tempest is as perilous as a blind cobra to any about her.

Al-Qaeda has a kind of loose, almost entrepreneurial structure with lots of cells in various countries that are semi-independent.

Money talks, bullshit walks.

I loathed William Frawley and the feeling was mutual. Whenever I received a new script, I raced through it, praying that there wouldn’t be a scene where we had to be in bed together.
