• I just think society, our culture and our world would be better off if we just loved God and loved our neighbor and did what was right. You know, our founding fathers... They all were godly men.

I said, "But they founded the greatest nation on earth and we didn't, and that's the difference right there."

How do we go forward together?" I think there's a different answer for every couple. But I think intimacy is asking that question.

• The science of logic never made a man reason rightly, and the science of ethics never made a man behave rightly. The most such sciences can do is to help us to catch ourselves up and check ourselves, if we start to reason or to behave wrongly; and to criticise ourselves more articulately after we have made mistakes.
