ice mind cold
There's nothing pretty about ice. Ice grows nothing. But we've got this in our minds that we've got to make everything cold.
party enemy tools
Environmentalists are a socialist group of individuals that are the tool of the Democrat Party. I'm proud to say that they are my enemy. They are not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans.
next entering conflict
I would encourage the next commander in chief to be more cooperative and communicative with Congress, particularly when entering a conflict.
military reality men
I am extremely proud of our remarkable men and women who serve in our military, but the reality is that this is a shrinking percentage of the American population. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a growing disconnect between our military and civilian population. At one time, we had participation from nearly every American. Victory gardens, metal collections, saving stamps and bonds-everyone did their part to support our military. We simply don't do that anymore.
military hands tasks
The military taught me the importance of getting something done in a timely manner and the importance of completing a mission on time. My lieutenant would say, 'If you don't, you die.' In many ways, life is the same. If you don't pay attention to a timeline, you lose out on the ability to accomplish the task at hand.
school army years
I never had the chance to decide; I was drafted to serve my nation. While I received a deferment to attend school, I ultimately served in the United States Army in the years following the Korean conflict.
choices forgiving gods-will
You've got to be willing to forgive and say, 'God, get something good out of something bad.' And if you'll make that choice... God will do it.
country hands government
We wonder why we have got the Freemen or the militants. We wonder why we have got unrest in this country. It is because our government, in fact, has got out of hand and out of line, with the Endangered Species Act.
faults problem
That's one of our biggest problems, it's always somebody else's fault instead of our own fault.
ifs happened happens
If it is warming, it's because it's happened before, cyclitic, it will happen again, regardless of what you and I do.
responsibility cookies want
I can't convince you to put the drink down if you're an alcoholic, you have to want to do that. I can't convince you to stop eating the cookies when you're a diabetic. You have to do that. And that takes responsibility.
The more we do, the more they'll let us.
business noise relax stop truck
(It's) a place to get out of the business and the noise of the truck stop environment, come in where it's quiet, ... They can relax and just reflect, pray.
cast finished less model month start turnaround
They try to get a model cast in two weeks. We try to take it to finished machining in less than two weeks. So we've got about a month turnaround from start to finish on a prototype.
