brother converted faith four given judgmental kids parents people raising respect strong
My brother and I have converted to Christianity, and my other brother and sister are still Sikh. So for me, it's not something that I ever want to be judgmental on. I know my parents are two people of a very strong faith. I respect all that they've done in raising their four kids and in the opportunities that they've given us.
almost behind certain closed doors faith felt people preach religion sleeve wear
I've always felt like there are certain politicians that wear their religion on their sleeve in a way that you almost feel is disingenuous. I think that your faith has to be first personal. I struggle with those people that preach something and go back behind closed doors and live differently.
best hear loudest people room sound turn
Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume. When the sound is quieter, you can actually hear what someone else is saying. And that can make a world of difference.
people credit like-you
You don't go to the people that are just like you. You go to the people that you have to earn their credit.
law people trying
For a bill to become law, it truly has to be the will of the people, and for a president to stop the will of the people and stop what you're trying to do in your state is not the role of Washington.
believe law people
Protests are fine. But in South Carolina we believe in the rule of law, and the people of this state should never doubt that as governor, I will enforce it.
real people support
The people of South Carolina support conservatives who are trying to push real change, and the people of South Carolina expect their presidential candidates to back them up when they show courage.
strong people decision
South Carolinians are strong, independently-minded people. At the end of the day, they make their own decisions. And I respect them for that. And I welcome that. And I told him that from the very beginning.
people ifs asks
People ask the question, 'If you're offered VP, would you take it?' No, I won't take it.
voice people use
I encourage people to find and use the power of their voices just as much when I do not agree with those voices as when I do agree with them.
clap country hands realize seen stop takes tired washington
I think it's very important to get ego out of the room. I think it's important to realize it takes two hands to clap - stop the pointing, stop the blame game. I think we've seen enough of that, I think the country is tired of it. I think they want to see Washington function, they want to see action.
wasteful
I'm not going to stop beating up on the Democrats for wasteful spending.
country decide religion role trying
I think that we are at a point in our country where we're trying to decide what role should religion play in the political arena.
almost life
My parents always used to tell us not to complain about things but do something about them, so 'Can't is not an option' was almost a way of life.
