Education is a fundamental principle of what made America a success. We cant afford to throw any young people away. – Benjamin Carson

When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student, but I didnt care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool. – Benjamin Carson

No matter how good you are at planning, the pressure never goes away. So I dont fight it. I feed off it. I turn pressure into motivation to do my best. – Benjamin Carson

We live in a country that used to have a can-do attitude, and now we have a what-can-you-do-for-me? attitude, and what I try to do is find ways that we can develop common ground. – Benjamin Carson

In my own personal life, God plays a great role in the risk, because I pray before I go into the operating room for every case, and I ask him to give me wisdom, to help me to know what to do – and not only for operating, but for everything. – Benjamin Carson

My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. – Benjamin Carson

Marriage is a very sacred institution and should not be degraded by allowing every other type of relationship to be made equivalent to it. – Benjamin Carson

I think one of the keys to leadership is recognizing that everybody has gifts and talents. A good leader will learn how to harness those gifts toward the same goal. – Benjamin Carson

Illogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home. – Benjamin Carson

We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society. – Benjamin Carson

People spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing. – Benjamin Carson

Health care is one-sixth of our economy. If the government can control that, they can control just about everything. We need to understand what is going on, because there are much more economic models that can be used to give us good health care than what we have now. – Benjamin Carson

Resist this war on God, freedom of religion and freedom of speech. – Benjamin Carson

Through hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams. – Benjamin Carson

Corporations are not in business to be social-welfare organizations they are there to make money. – Benjamin Carson

In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter. – Benjamin Carson
