#Failing Quotes

“Whatever we do, we must keep God in the forefront. Let us be Christian in all of our actions. But I want to tell you this evening that it is not enough for us to talk about love, love is one of the pivotal points of the Christian face, faith. There is another side called justice. And justice is really love in calculation. Justice is love correcting that which revolts against love.”

“Politics is not a picture on a wall or a television sitcom that you can decide you don't much care for.”

“If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we'd rather be alive and have the bad image.”
