I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.

What amazes me is how far some people will go to justify their behavior to themselves, just to preserve that self-perception.

Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.

When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.

Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.

Smart, well-meaning people get it wrong when they start believing that the world owes them something and that the rules are different for them.

The idea of self-reliance is important to me, and that is echoed, in my way of thinking, by a conservative approach to politics.

I understand people have preconceived notions of who I am or what I do.
