I'd rather be dead and in heaven than afraid to do what I think is right.

We've begun to get justice.

It's wrong to kill.

Anybody who runs for president in this country and comes out as strong as the Democrats were about helping the poor folks and black folks is not going to win.

The main thing I believe in is freedom.

I loved Clinton; not as a Democrat, but as a person.

I'm a Republican, by the way.

So I'm in the Republican Party for the same reason I was in the Democratic Party: to make sure blacks are included, along with everyone else.

Speaking as a black person, welfare is the worst thing that's ever happened to us.

I believe welfare makes you lazy and unproductive.

I'm against abortion.

I'm a Republican and I'm gonna stay a Republican because they need somebody like me to stay in the Party and keep hammering away.

Welfare makes you dependent upon someone to take care of you.

And we never got the mule, let alone the forty acres.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.

Two people will never be President in my lifetime. A woman and a black.

I'm for prayer in schools.

Iraq did nothing to us. Iraq was not responsible for 9/11.

This is a racist country.

Go down to the Republican headquarters. They ain't got a single black working there. Not one.

The least I can do is show Medgar I still care. And Martin.

I'm for economic independence.

The Republican Party does not reach out.

I love the life I live. The Lord blessed me to be independent. I am independent.

I took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby.

I feel there should be blacks in every Party.

We need to take responsibility and educate people. That's why black folks don't like me. I always say it's our responsibility to make safe neighborhoods. It's our job to get them cleaned up.

We've begun to put fear into those whites who think they can do anything they want to a black person and get away with it.

I'd rather be dead and in heaven than afraid to do what I think is right.

I believe in most of the things Republicans stand for.

I'm against an all-white anything or an all-black anything.

Any time the country is split 50/50, the leader is wrong.

The problem is, the Republican Party hasn't done anything to make this country better and I speak as a Republican.

I don't like a lot of social programs either because it makes you non-productive.

I don't believe in welfare.

Hands that picked cotton can now pick the mayor.

They didn't even like Margaret Thatcher but at least there was Margaret Thatcher. There have been women, you know, Sonia Gandhi for heaven's sakes in India.

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.

In the kingdom of heaven it is His work that will be crowned, not yours. Anything in you that He has not wrought Himself will count for nothing.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

War, in some instances, especially defensive, has been authorized by Heaven.

Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell.

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.

Religion kept some of my relatives alive, because it was all they had. If they hadn't had some hope of heaven, some companionship in Jesus, they probably would have committed suicide, their lives were so hellish.

Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.

I'm terrified about the day that I enter the gates of heaven and God says to me, just a minute.

How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.

Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
