Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There's no understanding of it.

What we don't have a right to is healthcare, housing, or handouts. We don't have those rights.

If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Go alert your bishop.

Let me go over this again on the reclaiming the civil rights movement. People of faith that believe that you have an equal right to justice - that is the essence. And if it's not the essence, then we've been sold a pack of lies. The essence is everyone deserves a shot - the content of character, not the color of skin.

Unfortunately, 'climate' has become a dirty word - obviously in politics, but even to some degree in my world, in venture capital. People hesitate if they see something that's purported to be green. That's not a reason to invest for many people.

Government does not create jobs, it only creates the conditions that make jobs more or less likely.

The government's view is that the best time to announce bad news, news that it doesn't want the public to dwell on is late on a Friday, when it will wind up in the Saturday papers, which if you were readers, then the week day editions. A holiday weekend is even better.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
