Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. — Apple Inc.

But I didn't go to Washington to make friends. That's not where my friends are. — Russ Feingold
To achieve respectability, to be admitted to the debate, they must accept without question or inquiry the fundamental doctrine that the state is benevolent, governed by the loftiest intentions, adopting a defensive stance, not an actor in world affairs but only reacting to the crimes of others...If even the harshest of critics tacitly adopt these premises, then the ordinary person may ask, who am I to disagree? — Noam Chomsky

It's based on my faith, I think it should remain between a man and a woman. — Bobby Jindal

I have a lot of respect for President Obama. I consider him a friend. I disagree with him on issues like the extension of tax breaks that Bush initiated.

It is very important to understand that pluralism is part of our system. We don't all think the same thing and part of our strength is that we come from different perspectives.

If we do that, I think we can coexist and learn to love each other better. — Sayings

The problem is that tolerant has changed its meaning. It used to mean 'I may disagree with you completely, but I will treat you with respect.

He doesn't approve of everything I do, or you do, or anybody else does either. You can be accepting without being approving. — Rick Warren
Here is my advice as we begin the century that will lead to 2081. First, guard the freedom of ideas at all costs.
