More quotes by William Bennett
I do not suggest that you should not have an open mind ... but don't keep your mind so open that your brains fall out.
William Bennett
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.
William Bennett
America's only respectable form of bigotry is bigotry against religious people. And the only reason for hatred of religion is that it forces us to confront matters many would prefer to ignore.
William Bennett
When we were attacked on Sept. 11, we knew the main reason for the attack was that Islamists hated our way of life, our virtues, our freedoms. What we never imagined was that the free press - an institution at the heart of those virtues and freedoms - would be among the first to surrender.
William Bennett
Too much of anything, even a good thing, may prove to be our undoing...[We] need ...to set definite boundaries on our appetites.
William Bennett
There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes.
William Bennett
Our schools should get five years to get back to where they were in 1963. If they're still bad maybe we should declare educational bankruptcy, give the people their money and let them educate themselves and start their own schools
William Bennett
Loving your homeland is just as natural as loving your father or mother - after all, your country nourishes you, protects you, and in many ways makes you who you are. Just as it's a virtue to honor your parents, it's a good and admirable thing to honor the land you call home.
William Bennett
The new source of divisiveness is the assault of secularism on religion.
William Bennett
If there is one thing educators can agree on, it's this: children do better in school when their parents get involved in their learning.
William Bennett
Have we come to the point where it is now considered a secular blasphemy to acknowledge the name of God at all?
William Bennett
When you have an individual that is committed to killing someone else, you can`t expect a restraining order or the police to provide 24-hour protection.
William Bennett
America's support for human rights and democracy is our noblest export to the world.
William Bennett
True courage is mixed with circumspection, the kind of healthy skepticism that asks, 'Is this the best way to do this?' True cowardice is marked by chronic skepticism, which always says, 'It can't be done.'
William Bennett
It is ironic that anyone who appeals to religious values today runs the risk of being called 'divisive' or attacked as an enemy of pluralism.
William Bennett
I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could - if that were your sole purpose - you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.
William Bennett
Responsible persons are mature people who have taken charge of themselves and their conduct, who own their actions and own up to them--who answer for them.
William Bennett
The President is the symbol of who the people of the United States are. He is the person who stands for us in the eyes of the world and the eyes of our children.
William Bennett
Real fatherhood means love and commitment and sacrifice and a willingness to share responsibility and not walking away from one's children.
William Bennett
Our common language is English. And our common task is to ensure that our non-English-speaking children learn this common language.
