“The difference is in how truly you believe, in how vociferously you promote, and in how tightly you hold onto the truth that is self-evident.”

“The work is the keeping of the promises of our promised land, the practice of decency, the protection of freedom, and the promotion of liberty for all, with no exceptions.”

“We live in a society where there is no law against making money by promoting ignorance or, in some cases, stupidity.”
