religious government two
The government and the church are two different realms of service, and those in political office have to face a subtle but important difference between the implementation of the high ideals of religious faith and public duty.
dream differences making-a-difference
I obviously hoped that everything that I found would make a difference, ... It ended up being way behind my wildest dreams.
war disease way
War and good health are incompatible. There's no way we can go [eradicate diseases] into an area that is at war.

successful good-friend alaska
As President, I was able to save with the stroke of the pen a hundred million acres of wilderness area in Alaska.

loyalty tired night

After all these years, I still feel like a boy when I'm on a stream
