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
It is our character that supports the promise of our future - far more than particular government programs or policies.
William Bennett
In the battle for preserving sound social and moral norms, many religious institutions can no longer be counted as allies.
William Bennett
