Since the presidency of Ronald Reagan conservatives have succeeded by adhering to a platform that rests firmly on three legs: smaller government faith and family and a strong national defense. These three legs do not merely represent a political coalition they are three necessary components of a strong and secure America.

For more than three thousand years men have quarreled concerning the formulas of their faith.

I had very supportive parents that made the way for me even at a time when there were very few women - no women really maybe two or three women - and very few fewer than that African-American women heading in this direction so there were very few people to look up to. You just had to have faith.

Our ministry is supported entirely by faith through the missions gifts of readers who receive my messages every three weeks. We seldom mention money and we never burden supporters.

My faith foundation works to bring about a greater respect and understanding between different faiths. We basically work with six popular religions in the world which are the three Abrahamic religions Hinduism and Buddhism and Sikhism.

I looked at some of the statues of Jesus they were just stones with no life. When they said that God is three I was puzzled even more but could not argue. I believed it simply because I had to have respect for the faith of my parents.

The difficulties we face originate from one of three sources. Some are sent to us by the Lord to test our faith others are the result of Satan's attacks and still others are due to our own sinful choices.

You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family my friends and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.

I know acts and I'm not going to name names but these people sold ten million copies the first time and the second album sells three million and it's considered a failure and they're dropped and that's really a shame.

If you're a doctor or a lawyer or teacher if you only get three things right out of 10 you're considered a failure.

I was convicted of three misdemeanors of willful failure to file a form.

Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have might have and should have.

Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself I have failed three times and what happens when he says I am a failure.

And actually about three weeks ago Micky Peter and I were in Vegas at the MGM Grand. And we did about 12 shows in seven days. It was quite an experience.

When I'm home on a break I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours I start getting into this total meditation. It's a feeling few people experience and that's usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can't force myself. I don't sit down and say I've got to practice.

I have three goddaughters - I'm not sure why they trust me because I have no experience with children - but I try.

We went with the St. Lawrence Experience which is run by Joe Babbitt who is a close friend now. We went out there for 10 days and we had the best week of our lives and we've been going back since. We've been back three times now.

There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection which is the highest. The second is limitation which is the easiest. The third is experience which is the bitterest.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First by reflection which is noblest Second by imitation which is easiest and third by experience which is the bitterest.

This Nation has realized significant environmental improvements over the last three decades.

Liberals in Congress have spent the past three decades pandering to environmental extremists. The policies they have put in place are in large part responsible for the energy crunch we are seeing today. We have not built a refinery in this country for 30 years.

Listen if the mayor wants to have a debate about education in this city I got three words: bring it on.

There are three major social issues that this country is struggling with: education poverty and drugs. Two of them we talk about and one of them we don't.

I had passed through the entire British education system studying literature culminating in three years of reading English at Oxford and they'd never told me about something as basic as the importance of point of view in fiction!
