It has become more acceptable to describe yourself as a conservative, but not everyone who uses that term about themselves really is truly conservative.

We have to be a state where business is welcome and jobs are created. We have to demand value for what is spent and we need to continue to resist a lottery.

The challenge is always before us. Whenever we lose sight of the principles that mattered to our founders we run into trouble.

It may surprise people to know that I advocate the reform of the United Nations, not its abolishment.

This is an area where North Carolina does excel. I have known more colorful North Carolina political figures than I have colorless ones.

I was with some Vietnamese recently, and some of them were smoking two cigarettes at the same time. That's the kind of customers we need!

The interests of the United States are better served by demanding reform and seeing that reform takes place than by removing our influence from the UN.

America must be the moral leader. It is not enough to have power. Power must be used to protect freedom and give all people hope for the opportunity to see the fruit of their own labor.

I worked in the media from the late 30's through the early 70's. Politics in general became more liberal both nationally and within the state as the years passed.

Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He'd better have a bodyguard.

We can live our own lives in a way that does not bring reproach on the principles we claim to support.

It still surprises me when I find something in any North Carolina newspaper that isn't mad at me about something.

Conservatism is a hard choice for a society that has become accustomed to big government and big entitlements promoted by liberals.

I want our young people to believe as we did that there is no goal too high to reach if they are willing to work.

I want our government to encourage and protect freedom as well as our traditions of faith and family.

There was no Congressional Club for my first campaign. There was no organized state group of Young Republicans, but there was a dedicated core of young people who volunteered to do anything my campaign needed.

I became a Republican when a very wise young lady asked me how I could remain a Democrat when I didn't agree with what they stood for and did agree with what the Republicans supported.

Such schemes take money from people who can least afford to spend it to support an unneeded bureaucracy that eats money people thought they were providing for education.

The big secret to winning elections is to get more votes than your opponent. My friend Representative Robin Hayes is a good example to study.

In subsequent years the groups you named had important roles in educating people about the real issues in Washington and Raleigh, and within the Democratic Party.

What I am suggesting is hard work and it can be slow work, but the rewards are well worth it.

It has become more acceptable to describe yourself as a conservative but not everyone who uses that term about themselves really is truly conservative.

As a kid, I would get my parents to drop me off at my local library on their way to work during the summer holidays, and I would walk home at night. For several years, I read the children's library until I finished the children's library. Then I moved into the adult library and slowly worked my way through them.

It might be useful to distinguish between pleasure and joy. But maybe everybody does this very easily, all the time, and only I am confused.

Hip hop is ever changing but youll always have the pack. And youll always have those people who are separated from the pack.

It was more that his career was going down again and he was tired of the songs. He was tired of the routine. And there was a point where he just kind of gave up. He couldn't face being 40. And he resorted to stimulants. There's a dark side there, a really dark side.

Occasionally, I just need to escape from my work or be reminded of the comparative bliss of my own life, so I pick up a novel.

To the moralist prostitution does not consist so much in the fact that the woman sells her body, but rather that she sells it out of wedlock.

I don't much like Singapore. It's very big, very modern and very urbanised. As a rule, I prefer older places where you get a sense of the history.

Some of the History Channel's documentaries involve docudrama segments and are highly speculative - but there seems, on the part of the producers, to be a real determination to get at the history behind our past - not the sex, which is left to drama shows and entertainment channels.

When you are through changing you are through.

A novelist writes a novel, and people read it. But reading is a solitary act. While it may elicit a varied and personal response, the communal nature of the audience is like having five hundred people read your novel and respond to it at the same time. I find that thrilling.

Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is really selling himself to it.

In Europe, there is no horror movie. It's very hard to make a slasher or gory movie. There is no audience for that.

When Rumsfeld gets up on television and says we have definitive intelligence that al Qaeda is working with Iraq, how is an ordinary citizen supposed to react? They won't tell you the evidence, and when anyone asks, they say, 'Well, you know: It's secret.'

The President doesn't ring people out of the blue, so you know you've done something well.

Everything has changed. When I was at school and was told I had better learn English, I said: What for? The English are a hell of a long way away!

I've seen plenty of films where the projector broke. The problems that we have in the digital age are exactly the same as we had. Instead of, 'There's a hair in the gate,' it's, 'The computer ate the footage.' There will always be things like that going on. Nothing is perfect.

I couldn't be Susan Sontag. I'm not very good with abstract thought. I always just take to the emotional core of me.

The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.

I'd like to get four people who do cart wheels very good, and make a cart.

We are ever mindful the risks our troops face every day and the sacrifices made by the families and the communities that support them as those who have been removed from power seek to delay their inevitable defeat.

I'm just getting my sea legs. The first time you make them laugh, you're like, 'Oh my God - that just happened.' Then you're like, 'I made them laugh. I've earned this.'

I'm all for philosophical debates about race, but if you look at history, you see that the status quo has power when it's unchallenged. So these conversations about inequality are crucial.

Early rising will enhance your productivity, improve your mental outlook, and give you time to exercise, catch up on email, or just have breakfast with your family. In short, if you want to become more successful, it's a good idea to jump out of bed earlier.

Jews seek to cleave to the will of God as set forth in the Bible and, particularly, the Pentateuch, with its rabbinic commentaries, the Mishnah and Talmud.
