• Whether it's a pebble in a riverbed or a soaring mountain peak, I see everything in the world as the handiwork of the Lord. When I paint, I try to represent the beauty of God's creation in my art. Many modern painters see the world as a jumble of random lines and shapes with no divine beauty or order, and their works reflect their viewpoint. Because I see God's peacefulness, serenity, and contentment, I work to capture those feelings on the canvas. My vision of God defines my vision of the world.

• Dios Todopoderoso plantó por primera vez un Jardín. Y, en efecto, es el más puro de los placeres humanos. Es el mayor refrigerio para el espíritu del hombre, sin el cual los edificios y los palacios no son más que burdas obras de arte. Y un hombre verá siempre, que cuando las edades crecen a la civilidad y a la elegancia, los hombres vienen a construir majestuosamente más pronto que a cultivar un jardín finamente, como si cultivar un jardín fuera la mayor perfección.

• ¿Se ha dado cuenta alguna vez de cómo los estatistas "reforman" constantemente su propia obra? Reforma de la educación. La reforma de la sanidad. La reforma de la asistencia social.

• La violencia contra las mujeres no es aleatoria ni anónima. En Virginia Occidental, el 88% de las víctimas de agresiones sexuales conocen ya a su agresor. En mi ciudad natal, Alicia McCormick, defensora de nuestro refugio contra la violencia doméstica en la YWCA, fue asesinada en su casa por un hombre que hacía trabajos manuales en su complejo de apartamentos. Que una de mis mayores defensoras pudiera ser víctima de algo contra lo que había luchado toda su vida fue una tragedia que me impulsó a actuar.

• He [Jesus] fought and conquered. On the one hand, he was man who struggled for his fathers and through his obedience cancelled their disobedience. On the other hand, he bound the strong one and freed the weak and bestowed salvation on his handiwork by abolishing sin. For he is our compassionate and merciful Lord who loves mankind ... Had not man conquered man's adversary, the enemy would not have been conquered justly. Again, had it not been God who bestowed salvation we would not possess it securely.
