Please stop teaching my children that everyone gets a trophy just for participating. What is this, the Nobel Prize? Not everybody gets a trophy.
I told you, God is not coy. He’s more likely to hit you across the forehead with a two-by-four than whisper in your ear.
Somehow I understood without the storm I couldn’t know myself.
Don’t fall into the trap of believing so deeply in your own ideology that you cannot even see the flaws in it.
Sometimes our strengths are also our weaknesses. Sometimes to be strong you have to first be weak. You have to share your burdens; you have to lean on other people while you face your problems and yourself.
Defeat anger, stop using it as a shield against truth, and you will find the compassion you need to forgive the people you love.
I am going to take something I learned over in Israel. Their Independence Day is preceded the 24 hours before with Memorial Day, so it gives them a chance to serve and reflect and then celebrate. I am going to try to start that tradition here in America.
Hate is on a scale, and is growing on a planetary scale of unprecedented size. The violent left is coming to our streets, all of our streets, to smash, to tear down, to kill, to bankrupt, to destroy. It is will be global in its nature and global in its scope.
Apple might not love me, but I love Apple.
We think Scott has real good vision and good tools. He’s quick and can run. He took care of the football for us and didn’t put it on the ground. When he saw a crack, he hit it. His line did a good job providing him with opportunities.
If we give all of the people who filed incorrect tax returns the benefit of the doubt and assume that every single one of them simply made an honest mistake, then doesn’t common sense tell us that maybe the tax code is just a little too complex?
It’s a different world we’re going into but it’s all based on the Internet. It’s all based on these connections. If you start limiting the connections, you’re going backwards as a society.
Fall to your knees and thank God for Fox News. Pray for Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch. Pray for them. Pray for strength and spine, and pray that everybody involved has chicken salad for lunch so it doesn’t clog anybody’s arteries. Keep them going.
The purpose of a just government is to prevent plunder, not facilitate it.
Has the luxury of not doing the political stuff, which is really where I want to be as a company.
Some people thinks that I’m the Antichrist, which would be a really good disguise for the Antichrist. You’d never see a pudgy, out-of-shape guy, 5 o’clock in the afternoon, being the Antichrist, would you?
People aren’t happy unless they buy stuff, and that’s because we have become this industrialized nation.
What’s amazing to me? General Electric has a bigger budget for – special interest budget than all of the oil companies combined, and yet nobody says anything.
If we just stop producing stuff, if we stop being so capitalist, we stop taking resources from other third world countries, we’ll be happy.
I contend that the reason why America is not as happy as it was in 1950 or 1920 or whenever, 100 years ago, is because our priorities are wrong, but it has nothing to do with exploiting the planet and has everything to do with losing faith in God.
