  • Extremism in defense of liberty is not a vice, but I denounce political extremism, of the left or the right, based on duplicity, falsehood, fear, violence and threats when they endanger liberty.

  • We need leadership that can elevate religion and morality to their position of paramount importance and thus eliminate growing selfishness, immorality and materialism.

  • My religion is my most precious possession. Except for it, I could easily have become excessively occupied with industry. Sharing responsibility for church work has been a vital counterbalance in my life.

  • Workers must participate in progress to enjoy their work and take pride in its product.

  • Our body is the temple of our spirit.

  • Too often, young people who are just bursting with idealism either find themselves playing a game for which they have little heart or are hurling themselves into wasteful protests against the so-called Establishment.

  • Dogmatic ideological parties tend to splinter the political and social fabric of a nation.

  • The rights of some must not be enjoyed by denying the rights of others. Neither can we permit states' rights at the expense of human rights.

  • Too often we shape our public positions on the basis of our economic connections. That brings us dangerously close to economic determinism.

  • I would never sacrifice my individual beliefs as a citizen to my corporate responsibilities.

  • It is morally, politically and socially wrong for business as business or labor as labor to participate directly in politics.

  • My wife has been my greatest earthly inspiration. She excels in eloquence, the poetry of words, empathy and graciousness.

  • Prayer is not a substitute for work. First we have to do all we can ourselves to understand a situation. Then when we ask for help, sometimes it is very evident, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes we may well be helped by not getting a decision.

  • I'm concerned about truth and credibility in government.

  • The pursuit of the difficult makes men strong

  • You can't be too right too soon and win elections.
