We are a great nation because we are a good people.

My commitment is to strive to lean on the Lord with my whole heart, reading His word daily and earnestly seeking His will in my life.

Iraq is the central battleground in the war on terror. The terrorists certainly know what is at stake, which is why they are pulling out all the stops to derail our efforts there. They know that a free and democratic Iraq is a serious blow to their interests.

What empowerment is all about [is] finding something which infuses you with a sense of mission, with a passion for your life's work. I don't believe there is one path for women or one nature to fulfill. Real fulfillment, real empowerment is often different than we imagine and better than we plan.

We believe in the dignity of every life, the possibility of every mind, the divinity of every soul. This is our true North.

[On power:] Some people really have almost a disdain for that word. They feel it is alien to conscience. Power for power's sake, no.
