Making an open stand against all the ungodliness and unrighteousness which overspreads our land as a flood is one of the noblest ways of confessing Christ in the face of His enemies.
We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.
My soul is not for sale.
I will not change my beliefs to win votes. I will offer a choice, not an echo.
I'm not Catholic, but I have a great deal of respect for Pope John Paul. I think that he has stood firm on the moral issues, and I admire him greatly.

Political courage requires clarity.
I am not going to be a mouthpiece for language that I detest.

Barry Goldwater once said, "I'd rather be right than president." I can't tell you how much I disagree with that Barry Goldwater.
Let there be no compromise on the question of extending slavery. If there be, all our labor is lost, and, ere long, must be done again.
I am very grateful for the Catholic Church and its unwavering stance on life. They have been a consistent, uncompromising voice defending life.
Stand for right, even if you stand alone.
Doing the right thing is a decision, which in many cases means you stand alone.
I will follow the right side even to the fire, but excluding the fire if I can.
