In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.

There have to be enough people that say, ‘We want it now, in our lifetime.’ This is your moment. This is your opportunity. Be adventurists in the sense of being bold and daring. Be opportunists and seize this opportunity, this moment in history, to go out and save our country. It's your turn now.

Once a leader delegates, he should show utmost confidence in the people he has entrusted.

Universities are not here to be mediums for the coercion of other people, they're here to be mediums for the free exchange of ideas.

People seldom refuse help, if one offers it in the right way.

People who deal with life generously and large-heartedly go on multiplying relationships to the end.
