I respect the president. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president not who is the better American.

I want to say with the utmost of sincerity not as a Republican but as an American that I have great respect for Senator Obama's historic achievement to become his party's nominee not because of his color but with indifference to it.

When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.

Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences.

It doesn't make any difference what religion you are or how young you are or how old you are-if they go to these abortion mills and stand there and pray-that would make a lot of difference.

The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.

All the different nations in the world despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life still have one thing in common and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is.

I think there's a difference between God and religion.

There is all the difference in the world between teaching children about religion and handing them over to be taught by the religious.

First of all my persuasion is what really breeds violence is political differences. But because religion serves as the soul of community it gets drawn into the fracas and turns up the heat.
