My children are my whole life.

I trust in God, and His ways are not our ways. So we have to go with that, and there's nothing I can do about that.

Good mothers and good fathers and good families don't always have great children.

I'm very proud of my daughter. She accomplished a whole lot in the short time that she had here... she was a very wonderful person.

Philosophy has to be enquiring; it can take nothing on faith, and its methods are based not on the blind acceptance of authority, but on establishing truths by reason and argument.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

I believe in metaphysics. I don't believe in God because I think that is a human simplification of the things we can't explain. But I believe in a greater universe.

No politician has ever used his faith to a greater result for all of humanity, and that is why, in his day, Wilberforce was a moral hero far more than a political one.
