More quotes by William Bennett
All real education is the architecture of the soul.
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
Much of the left-liberal elite despise traditional religious beliefs ... in general, they are profoundly uncomfortable with religious institutions and the traditional values they embody.
William Bennett
In the battle for preserving sound social and moral norms, many religious institutions can no longer be counted as allies.
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
A weakened sense of responsibility does not weaken the fact of responsibility.
William Bennett
Home is a shelter from storms - all sorts of storms.
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

William Bennett
America's support for human rights and democracy is our noblest export to the world.
William Bennett
The new source of divisiveness is the assault of secularism on religion.
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
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
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.
William Bennett
If we are surrounded by the trivial and the vicious, it is all too easy to make our peace with it.
William Bennett
There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes.
William Bennett
From Samuel Adams to Patrick Henry to Benjamin Franklin to Alexander Hamilton, all the Founders intended religion to provide a moral anchor for our liberty in democracy.
William Bennett
