I'm not taking maternity leave from 'Big Brother. ' I e-mailed my boss over there this weekend and I said, 'Don't worry. I can still do the show!
Obama is to the Tea Party as the moon is to werewolves.
The humanity of all Americans is diminished when any group is denied rights granted to others.
The civil rights movement didn't begin in Montgomery and it didn't end in the 1960s. It continues on to this very minute.
Good things don't come to those who wait. They come to those who agitate!
Violence is black children going to school for 12 years and receiving 6 years' worth of education.

On Nov. 6, the day before my 94th birthday, our nation will hold one of the most critical elections in my lifetime. We are at a crossroads and there are profound moral issues at stake. I strongly urge you to vote for candidates who support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman, protect the sanctity of life and defend our religious freedoms.

If I were to give a summary of the tendency of our times, I would say, Quantity. The multitude, the mass spirit, dominates everywhere, destroying quality. Our entire life--production, politics, and education--rests on quantity, on numbers. The worker who once took pride in the thoroughness and quality of his work, has been replaced by brainless, incompetent automatons, who turn out enormous quantities of things, valueless to themselves, and generally injurious to the rest of mankind. Thus quantity, instead of adding to life's comforts and peace, has merely increased man's burden.
