More quotes by Benjamin Carson
I have to come to realize that God does not want to punish us, but rather, to fulfill our lives. God created us, loves us and wants to help us to realize our potential so that we can be useful to others.
Benjamin Carson
I think it's a fallacy that only people in elected office can come up with solutions that solve our problems. I just think maybe there's a different paradigm.
Benjamin Carson
I'd like to be remembered as someone who got others to recognize the potential that was within them.
Benjamin Carson
I have sunshine in my heart regardless of conditions around me.
Benjamin Carson
Our strength as a nation comes in our unity. We are the United States of America, not the divided states. And those who want to divide us are trying to divide us, and we shouldn't let them do it.
Benjamin Carson
Every time I am looking into the depths of somebody's brain, I'm thinking, 'This is what makes a person who they are. That structure contains memories. Everything that they've ever experienced is right in there.'

I have this feeling that as time goes on, we're not getting any more civilized, and we should be. We're still running around like the days of Genghis Khan. There are so many important, better things to do and we need to encourage people to reach into the brighter side of humanity and not encourage people to continue to glorify the darker side.
Benjamin Carson
We have the purveyors of hatred who take every single incident between people of two races and try to make a race war out of it, and drive wedges into people. And this does not need to be done.
Benjamin Carson
The outstanding doctor constantly emphasized the humanitarian aspect of medical care.
Benjamin Carson
When I was 14, I tried to stab someone.
Benjamin Carson
I always think it is kind of funny when it comes to wisdom, and I say God has a sense of humor, because my middle name is Solomon, and I love the Book of Proverbs which is written by Solomon, and I have read from the Book of Proverbs to start and end every day since I was 14.
Benjamin Carson
We turned our back on Israel, our ally. You know, and a situation like that, of course [Barack]Obama's not going to be able to do anything. I would shore up our military first, because if you don't get the military right, nothing else is going to work.
Benjamin Carson
Even if somebody disagrees with you, their life is still valuable.
Benjamin Carson
Our friends can't trust us anymore. You know, Ukraine was a nuclear-armed state. They gave away their nuclear arms with the understanding that we would protect them. We won't even give them offensive weapons.
Benjamin Carson
I don't do a lot of talking. I do a lot of doing. And really, it says more about a person than how much they talk.
Benjamin Carson
Of course, no religious test for the presidency - every faith adds to our national character.
Benjamin Carson
In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter.
Benjamin Carson
What we have to stop and think about is that we have weakened ourselves militarily to such an extent that if affects all of our military policies.
Benjamin Carson
Here's a nation, one of the founding pillars was freedom of speech and freedom of expression. And yet, we have imposed upon people restrictions on what they can say, on what they can think. And the media is the largest proponent of this, crucifying people who say things really quite innocently.
Benjamin Carson
There's a false narrative that only the political class has the wisdom and the ability to be commander-in- chief. But if you go back and you study the design of our country, it was really designed for the citizen statesman.
