The history of our nation is intertwined with a certain religious tradition, and that the First Amendment was not intended to result in the complete exclusion of religious beliefs from our public classrooms.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.

Many of us have forgotten what we once knew about our freedoms and our decencies, and we have forgotten why, time and time again, we have had to rally ourselves to the point of ultimate sacrifice to defend them.

I do not suggest that you should not have an open mind, particularly as you approach college. But don't keep your mind so open that your brains fall out.

In self-discipline one makes a "disciple" of oneself. One is one's own teacher, trainer, coach, and "disciplinarian." It is an odd sort of relationship, paradoxical in its own way, and many of us don't handle it very well.

For children to take morality seriously they must be in the presence of adults who take morality seriously. And with their own eyes they must see adults take morality seriously.

The elementary school must assume as its sublime and most solemn responsibility the task of teaching every child in it to read. Any school that does not accomplish this has failed.

Government, obviously, cannot fill a child's emotional needs. Nor can it fill his spiritual and moral needs. Government is not a father or mother. Government has never raised a child, and it never will.

We defeated the twin menaces of fascism and Soviet communism. We advanced the well-being of people around the world, ameliorating suffering, improving human rights and promoting democracy. Such achievements wouldn't be possible without moral clarity.

If we want our children to possess the traits of character we most admire, we need to teach them what those traits are and why they deserve both admiration and allegiance. Children must learn to identify the forms and content of those traits.

If we have full employment and greater economic growth -- if we have cities of gold and alabaster -- but our children have not learned how to walk in goodness, justice and mercy, then the American experiment, no matter how gilded, will have failed.

If we are surrounded by the trivial and the vicious, it is all too easy to make our peace with it.

Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty.

There are no mental jobs, only mental attitudes.

A kind and compassionate act is often its own reward.
