Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men frightened by their wives or sweeties would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.

There is a blessed necessity by which the interest of men is always driving them to the right and again making all crime mean and ugly.

All men's souls are immortal but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.

We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

Men have as exaggerated an idea of their rights as women have of their wrongs.

On bad days I think I'd like to be a plastic surgeon who goes to Third World countries and operates on children in villages with airlifts and then I think 'Yeah right I'm going to go back to undergraduate school and take all the biology I missed and then go to medical school.' No. No.

Libertarians argue that no normal adult has the right to impose choices on other normal adults except in abnormal circumstances such as when one person finds another unconscious and administers medical assistance or calls an ambulance.

Civil and political rights are critical but not often the real problem for the destitute sick. My patients in Haiti can now vote but they can't get medical care or clean water.

What's important at the grocery store is just as important in engines or medical systems. If the customer isn't satisfied if the stuff is getting stale if the shelf isn't right or if the offerings aren't right it's the same thing. You manage it like a small organization. You don't get hung up on zeros.

I'm strongly for a patient Bill of Rights. Decisions ought to be made by doctors not accountants.

We are confident that the Supreme Court will soon see the direction that this country is headed and enshrine marriage as a constitutional right for all.

Civil marriage like all civil rights provided by the government must be provided equally to all Americans.

The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly held that marriage is one of the most fundamental rights that we have as Americans under our Constitution.

I have a lady she's a great lady. I love her a lot she loves me. We're on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we're not on the same page we'll move forward with it. We're interested in having our lives be our lives right now and not a third person's vis-a-vis marriage and whatever that means.

The definition of marriage cannot be disputed. It's right there in black and white and it's been the same since the start of Wikipedia.

I do not believe that defending traditional marriage between one man and one woman excludes anybody or usurps anybody's civil rights and denies anybody their civil rights.

I am for gay marriage. Or same-sex marriage. I don't want to say it the wrong way. I think people are sensitive to it. I have been painted as being this right-wing zealot on choice. Nothing could be further from the truth.
