All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.

In society, we do horrible things to one another because we don’t see the person it affects. We don’t see their face. We don’t see them as people.

The Bible must be considered as the great source of all the truth by which men are to be guided in government as well as in all social transactions.

We must fight against oppression even if it means fighting against one of our own - inferiority only exists in the mind.

The emerging picture is one where slavery, oppression and exploitation of society's most vulnerable members have by no means been consigned to the past.

During the Vietnam War, any young men -- including the current president, the vice president and me -- could have gone to Vietnam but didn't. John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it, too. Instead he said, 'Send me.'
