They might object to some of my opinions, but they don't object to my behavior as a judge.

The whole basis of the Constitution was a restriction of power, and the whole basis of the federalist system was that there was not one sovereign centralized power from which all authority flows.

If God gives you rights, no man and no government can take them away from you.

But I have made no plans to run for any office right now.

To do my duty, I must obey God.

It is altogether proper for people to recognize a sovereign God.

No, I think that we've got a basic discrepancy here between the rule of law versus the rule of man.

The Church's role should be separated from the state's role.

But separation of church and state was never meant to separate God and government.

The Ten Commandments are the divinely revealed law.

They might object to some of my opinions, but they don't object to my behavior as a judge.

Anytime you deny the acknowledgement of God you are undermining the entire basis for which our country exists.

The point is that knowledge of God is not prohibited under the First Amendment.

I know Dr. Kennedy and I know Coral Ridge Ministries. I have no connection.

It would bother me if a judge told me how I had to believe.

Rights come from God, not from government.

The Constitution was about a limitation on power.

The First Amendment to the Constitution reflects that concept recognized in the Ten Commandments, that the duties we owe to God and the manner of discharging those duties are outside the purview of government.

But today, government is taking those rights from us, pretending that it gives us our rights. Indeed, those rights come from God, and it was recognized throughout our history as such.

But in the long term, I think it is improper to limit your future.

Power's not what the Constitution was about.

Well, that's the - the removal from office and removal of the Ten Commandments were two different issues.

Well, I think that we have to continue to fight for what we believe.

I was asked three times directly in the hearing before the board of the judiciary whether or not I would continue to acknowledge God if I were to resume my position as chief justice. And I said I would.

Indeed, the acknowledgement of God is not synonymous with religion.

They don't want to be reminded that there is an authority higher than the authority of the state.

It can have a secular purpose and have a relationship to God because God was presumed to be both over the state and the church, and separation of church and state was never meant to separate God from government.

The basic premise of the Constitution was a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances because man was perceived as a fallen creature and would always yearn for more power.

And government's only role is to secure our rights for us.

If government can give you rights, government can take them away from you.

The forefathers, including James Madison, felt very strongly that the duties that we owe to God were outside of government's prerogative, that government had no business interfering with the way we worship God.

Spry is not a look, spry is behavior.

Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.

The civilizing process has increased the distance between behavior and the impulse life of the animal body.

Beauty set up distance between other people and me. It warped their behavior.

I try as best I can to enter the realm of nuances of human behavior.

I'm always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it's far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable.

The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.

No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.

You can't legislate or litigate good, healthy behavior but we must be willing to educate people at an early age about the affects of unhealthy living.

The orbs create feedback loops that can influence either personal of employee behavior.

Many working mothers feel guilty about not being at home. And when they are there, they wish it could be perfect. This pressure to make every minute happy puts working parents in a bind when it comes to setting limits and modifying behavior.

You were saying that once when visiting Yale, you were struck that unlike Pound, Williams's thinking was volatile, I mean, did not stay locked into a pattern of concepts that then defined his subsequent necessary behavior, whereas Pound did.

We must consider the distinctive characters and the general nature of plants from the point of view of their morphology , their behavior under external conditions, their mode of generation, and the whole course of their life.

I have always had school sickness, as others have seasickness. I cried when it was time to go back to school long after I was old enough to be ashamed of such behavior.

The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.

I always say centered food equals centered behavior.

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.
