More quotes by William Bennett
We are here to help one another along life's journey.
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
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
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
The formation of character in young people is educationally a different task from and a prior task to, the discussion of the great, difficult ethical controversies of the day.
William Bennett

William Bennett

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

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
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
The secretary of education does not work for the education establishment. The secretary works for the American people.
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
The elementary school must assume as its sublime and most solemn responsibility the task of teaching every child in it to read. Any school that does not accomplish this has failed.
William Bennett
President Bush was widely ridiculed for consulting the Reverend Billy Graham before the Gulf war.
William Bennett
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.
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
If we are surrounded by the trivial and the vicious, it is all too easy to make our peace with it.
William Bennett
