My mother's sympathies were strongly with the Union. She knew that war was bound to come but so confident was she in the strength of the Federal Government that she devoutly believed that the struggle could not last longer than six months at the utmost.

I believed the only thing that could turn around this government spending and mounting debt would be if the people rose up.

I have long believed taxpayers make better use of their money than the government ever could.

My mother was a good recreational cook but what she basically believed about cooking was that if you worked hard and prospered someone else would do it for you.

I have always believed in God.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

It's funny because 'The Book of Mormon' is 'The Book of Mormon' now. When I was doing it at the very beginning and I was a part of it for four years and always believed in it I never really knew if it was going to be more than a convention for 'South Park' fans.

I was so afraid to even read a paper in front of my classmates. It is very funny because at that point my teachers would never have believed that I could speak in front of an audience of over 2 000 people.
