It was very interesting having an opportunity to talk to the Syrians themselves. And I asked them: What do you want? What is your supreme desire? Their supreme desire was to be settled back in their own country. I said, "What can Americans and other countries do?" They said, "Support the efforts of those who are trying to provide safety for us, including the Jordanians."

I always pray before any of the operation. I think God help me know what to do.

You have the ability to choose which way you want to go. You have to believe great things are going to happen in your life. Do everything you can - prepare, pray and achieve - to make it happen.

There are things one does not say for a long time, but, once they are said, one never stops repeating them.
Benjamin Carson -
You can understand why I'm a believer. I have seen miracles.

There is no job more important than parenting. This I believe.

We're not planning for the future. If we continue to spend ourselves into oblivion, we are going to destroy this nation.

You have to try, you have to try everything you can.

I think God's a pretty fair guy.
Benjamin Carson -
It's not what you do but that kind of job you do that makes the difference.
Benjamin Carson -
I always pray for God's guidance in my life and he always provides it. He opens the right doors he shuts the right doors. And I have tremendous faith in him. He just guided my career in an amazing way.

If you hear how wonderful you are often enough, you begin to believe it, no matter how you try to resist it.
Benjamin Carson -
It is absolutely vital that we do all we can to allow Americans to practice their religious ways, while simultaneously ensuring that no one's beliefs infringe upon those of others. We should also serve as champions of freedom of religion throughout the world.

But, you know, we have these entrenched entities - and I'm talking about both Republicans and Democrats - who believe that when you're elected to office, you become some kind of member of the aristocracy, and that anyone who challenges you is attacking you and is unpatriotic. This is foolishness.
Benjamin Carson -
Obviously, discipline is necessary for children. Training is necessary for children. Just like if you want to train a vine, you have to apply physical manipulation to get it to go where you want it to go, but as it learns, then you don't have to do that.

The person who has the most to do what happens to you in life is you. Not somebody else and not the environment.

This is a country for, of, and by the people not for, of, and by the government. If we turn it over to them we cannot complain about what they're doing because this is a natural course of men and we have to hold their feet to the fire.
Benjamin Carson -
I want the government to provide the military so we don't get invaded by somebody and destroyed. I want the government to provide the roads so I can get from point A to B. In terms of taking care of my day to day needs, I want to do that myself. I want my community to do that.
Benjamin Carson -
When I treat other people with kindness and love, it is part of my way of paying my debt to God and the world for the privilege of living on this planet.

You can't allow the forces of political correction to shut you up. I mean, why are people afraid to say, 'Merry Christmas?' Give me a break. If people don't like it, yeah, they can go do something else.
Benjamin Carson -
I don't want my kids to grow up with no father like I did. I came to the conclusion a while ago that you can work until midnight and not be finished or you can work until 6 or 7 and not be finished. I decided I'd rather work until 6 or 7.
Benjamin Carson -
Do you have a brain? Then you can think your way out of it. The reason we have brains is so we can figure out how to do things.
Benjamin Carson -
Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.
