I'm in politics. I'm in government so nothing surprises me.

So the American government lied to the Native Americans for many many years and then President Clinton lied about a relationship and everyone was surprised! A little naive I feel!

I don't think the government is out to get me or help someone else get me but it wouldn't surprise me if they were out to sell me something or help someone else sell me something. I mean why else would the Census Bureau want to know my telephone number?

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

What gives me the most hope every day is God's grace knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.

There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder.

There's no artist in this world that doesn't enjoy the dream that if they have bad reviews now the story of Keats can redeem them in their fantasy or imagination in the future. I think Keats' poem 'Endymion' is a really difficult poem and I'm not surprised that a lot of people pulled it apart in a way.

Comedy is surprises so if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don't laugh that's funny.

Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962 he was an angry relatively young man. He founded the ANC's military wing. When he was released he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge.

I was kind of surprised to learn how controlling I am. I never thought of myself in that way. I think the root of the control issues is usually fear because you want to know what's going to be happening at any given moment.
