I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because let's face it at the end of the day I'm not that smart of a guy.

I believe in the separation of church and state but I do not believe in the separation of politics from religion.

The message that I gave on the - on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don't believe that you can't do it. Everybody wants - everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that it becomes politics. I'm not talking politics.

I honestly believe that there's an element in this country in our politics that does not want to see a businessman succeed at getting the nomination for the Republican party and does not want me to succeed at becoming President of the United States of America.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

I detest politics to be honest with you. It's a cesspool. And I don't think I would fare well in that cesspool because I don't believe in political correctness and I certainly don't believe in dishonesty.

In religion as in politics it so happens that we have less charity for those who believe half our creed than for those who deny the whole of it.

We believe that to err is human. To blame it on someone else is politics.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings as traitors... I mean it.

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President I'm beginning to believe it.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.

I have always made my own rules in poetry as in life - though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do however believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless.

I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels.

I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes.

I don't think rap really fits in to 'American Idol' in the sense that I believe rap is an art form in itself more akin to poetry more akin to drama if you will.

I don't think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs don't come from the surface they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write I believe are in your heart.

Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own.

And I strongly believe people should rescue dogs or at the very least listen to Bob Barker and have your pet spayed or neutered.

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat I am sure could walk on a cloud without coming through.

Together we can create a world in which peace is real in which every human being can thrive in which all share the promise of our century. I believe we can succeed.

I believe however that peace is attainable regardless of the Arabs mentality society or government.

I want to arrive at the possibility of peace with the Syrians and when I believe that the conditions are right I will not miss the opportunity.

Standing as I believe the United States stands for humanity and civilization we should exercise every influence of our great country to put a stop to that war which is now raging in Cuba and give to that island once more peace liberty and independence.
