“Those who are anti-God and anti-Christian in America have infiltrated the highest levels of the educational establishment.

I think that's the coolest part about being an Olympic sportsman, I get to travel around and see the world for free, technically. And get to see different cultures, and all the different people that I've met along the way - it's a pretty awesome job.”
“It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters.”
