I'm often asked what I think about the faith of the President George W. Bush. I think it is sincere. I think it's very real. I think it's deeply held.

I have always been the kid who's asked 'Why?' In my faith you're just supposed to have faith. But I was always like 'why?'

All who call on God in true faith earnestly from the heart will certainly be heard and will receive what they have asked and desired.

At every turn when humanity is asked the question 'Do you want temporary economic gain or long-term environmental loss which one do you prefer ' we invariably choose the money.

If we had in this room a hundred teachers good teachers from good schools and asked them to define the word education there would be very little general agreement.

My father is a real idealist and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons.

The enemy fought with savage fury and met death with all its horrors without shrinking or complaining: not one asked to be spared but fought as long as they could stand or sit.
