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
Home is a shelter from storms - all sorts of storms.

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
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
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.
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
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
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
Government, obviously, cannot fill a child's emotional needs. Nor can it fill his spiritual and moral needs. Government is not a father or mother. Government has never raised a child, and it never will.
William Bennett
