Yet the basic fact remains: we live in a world marked by violence, and if we want to protect others, we sometimes have to be willing to fight.

There were a number of definitions of courage, but now I was seeing it in its simplest form: you do what has to be done day after day, and you never quit.

Remember that deciding is not doing, and wanting is not choosing. Transformation will take place not because of what you decide you want, but because of what you choose to do.

As warriors, as humanitarians, they've taught me that without courage, compassion falters, and that without compassion, courage has no direction.

Federal overreach from agencies like the EPA is hurting family farms. I will fight against these crippling regulations, and always side with the hard working farmers and ranchers of Missouri.

Warriors are warriors not because of their strengh, but because of their ability strengh to good purpose

In this time of 'information overload', people do not need more information. They want a story they can relate to.

Cats would rule the world if they had longer attention spans.

We will find a way or we shall make one

I'll be a little bummed out if I make it to my 70s and didn't have a kid. I have two dogs and I know how much I love them. I would like to love and raise a kid.

We are all, after all, just human beings, and most of us have a lot in common.

Karma, ahhh. We sow what we reap... We reap what we sow! We reap what we sow. The law of cause and effect. And we are all under this law.

Something was badly amiss with the spiritual life of the planet...Too many demons inside people claiming to believe in God.

You have good days and bad days.

One of finest evocations of life in Western America in recent memory... Powerful and profoundly moving.
