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
Nothing in recent years, on television or anywhere else, has improved on a good story that begins Once upon a time...
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
It is our character that supports the promise of our future - far more than particular government programs or policies.
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
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.
William Bennett
The history of our nation is intertwined with a certain religious tradition, and that the First Amendment was not intended to result in the complete exclusion of religious beliefs from our public classrooms.
William Bennett
I can only speak about my own commute and can say that it has certainly affected my commute, making it longer and more hectic.
William Bennett
If we want our children to possess the traits of character we most admire, we need to teach them what those traits are and why they deserve both admiration and allegiance. Children must learn to identify the forms and content of those traits.
William Bennett
I think we need to find out why the citizens of the world's wealthiest, most envied, most powerful country are so cynical, so distressed, so angry, so ticked of about so many things.
