I am concerned about the whole man. I am concerned about what the people using their government as an instrument and a tool can do toward building the whole man which will mean a better society and a better world.
Barack Obama's enemies are the people who make this country work. Barack Obama's enemies are those who succeed. Those are the people whose income he wants to redistribute. Those are the people whose income he wants to take using the power and the force of the federal government to do it.
Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it 'Shake well before using.' That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future.
Fascism is not in itself a new order of society. It is the future refusing to be born.
We drive into the future using only our rearview mirror.
I try to learn from the past but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.
Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.
Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny but working with him I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre he could be a very funny man to work with always telling jokes and holding court. Of course when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.
I love funny people and when I'm with funny people or people who are amusing in their weirdness I love it. Because that to me is funny as opposed to someone who stops and says 'Hey let me tell you a joke.'
I am accusing him of stealing my best material he was a very funny man.
Funny things tend not to happen to me. I am not a natural comic. I need to think about things a lot before I can be even remotely amusing.
It's funny that there was so much disturbance about having a Catholic in the White House with Kennedy and when we finally get a religion in the White House that's causing a lot of conflicts and concerns and disturbances for a lot of people it's in the Bush Administration.
I tend to head for what's amusing because a lot of things aren't happy. But usually you can find a funny side to practically anything.
As I get older all sorts of things become less funny. Once one has children any cruelty involving children becomes far less amusing than when one was at the mercy of one's friends' and relatives' children.
The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other always using friendly and sincere words.
I do believe that freedom isn't free - but today the corporate and political right wing is trying to cheapen this truly American value. They've been cynically using the word 'freedom' to rally the American public against its own best interests.
I try to give the media as many confusing images as I can to retain my freedom. What's real is for my children and the people I live with.
We have by far the most expensive health system in the world. We spend 50 percent more per person than the next most costly nation. Americans spend more on health care than housing or food.
We believe that God is big enough to give every nationality their own religion as he's given them their own taste in food in plants in furniture and housing. I think that each religion has their basic Christ-ish way to get to the Everlasting God.
There's the issue of hunger and there's an issue of if you're going to cut out food programs. We should be focusing on healthy food. Right now fruits and vegetables are very expensive. So what can we do on the policy side to bring the cost of fruits and vegetables down?
You can buy a box of low-fat macaroni and cheese made with powdered nonsense. I'm not worried if I'm using four different cheeses and it's high in fat. It's real food. That's what's more important.
Food is meant to be used as fuel for our bodies. If you're using it for any other reasons take a step back and ask yourself 'What's up.'
