If we make every attempt to increase out knowledge in order to use it for human good, it will make a difference in us and in our world.
Benjamin Carson -
Every time I am looking into the depths of somebody's brain, I'm thinking, 'This is what makes a person who they are. That structure contains memories. Everything that they've ever experienced is right in there.'

An important verity about knowledge is that the brain works most effectively with consciously retained information. We more easily remember what we want to recall later. When we feed our fourteen billion brain cells with information that will enrich us and help others, we are really learning to Think Big.
Benjamin Carson -
I think of success as reaching beyond ourselves and helping other people in specific ways.

Benjamin Carson -
We need to reorient people in terms of what real success is all about.
Benjamin Carson -
In the old days of America when communities were separated by hundreds of miles, why were they able to thrive? Because if it was harvest time and the farmer was up in the tree picking apples and fell down and broke his leg, everybody pitched in and harvested his crops for him. If somebody got killed by a bear, everybody took care of their family.

I like the idea of a proportional tax. That way you pay according to your ability.
Benjamin Carson -
People spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing.
Benjamin Carson -
You know if there is a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you're probably gonna put your children out of the way. Doesn't mean that you hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination.
Benjamin Carson -
Let's say somebody were in the White House and they wanted to destroy this nation. I would create division among the people, encourage a culture of ridicule for basic morality and the principles that made and sustained the country, undermine the financial stability of the nation, and weaken and destroy the military. It appears coincidentally that those are the very things that are happening right now.
Benjamin Carson -
A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight - and when they come out, they're gay.
Benjamin Carson -
Law officials put their lives on the line every single day for us, and I think we also owe them a degree of respect.

Ruthless is not necessarily the word I would use, but tough, resolute, understanding what the problems are, and understanding that the job of the president of the United States is to protect the people of this country and to do what is necessary in order to get it done.
Benjamin Carson -
I believe that things are always going to work out, even if in the beginning it doesn't look like they are working out. I know in the long run they are going to work out, and it's going to be fine.
Benjamin Carson -
A culture exists within the Ted Cruz camp that would allow people to take advantage of a situation like this in a very dishonest way.

Benjamin Carson

Anyone with a normal brain can do almost anything.
Benjamin Carson -
I don't believe that expressing your opinion, regardless of who is there, is being rude. And it's a shame that we've reached a level in our country where we think that you don't have the right to put your opinion out there.
Benjamin Carson -
If you don't accept excuses, then people will stop giving them and will start looking for solutions.
Benjamin Carson -
We've gotten into this - this mindset of fighting politically correct wars. There is no such thing as a politically correct war. The left, of course, will say Carson doesn't believe in the Geneva Convention, Carson doesn't believe in fighting stupid wars. And - and what we have to remember is we want to utilize the tremendous intellect that we have in the military to win wars.
