Quotations and sayings

01c. 2003 AD

People came here for a reason, to follow their conscience, to be free!

Glenn Beck / quote

02c. 2003 AD

Thanks is part to our education system, we tend to think that we're smarter than the stupid guys in funny wigs who came before us. But that's because we are mistaking technology, progress, and access to information for intelligence. We think that because we know how to use iPhones (but not build them), browse the Internet (but not understand how it works), and use Google (but not really know anything), our educational system is working just great. By the same token, we think that those dumb aristocrats who used horses to get around and didn't have electricity were neanderthals.

Glenn Beck / quote

03c. 2003 AD

If we want to be endowed with rights – real human rights, we have to act with responsibility. We must not be comfortable with rights. We must be comfortable with responsibility.

Glenn Beck / quote

04c. 2003 AD

America comes with both rights and responsibilities. You have, for example, the right to free speech, but you have the responsibility to not yell 'fire' in a crowded theater. If you don't live up to that responsibility, you face certain consequences. It's a simple but effective formula. Unfortunately, tenured professors are completely insulated from it. They can scream fire in their classrooms all they want - and then hide behind their tenure if anyone questions them on it.

Glenn Beck / quote

05c. 2003 AD

You can either complain about how hard your life is, or you can realize that only you are responsible for it.

Glenn Beck / quote

06c. 2003 AD

For those that think men make progress collectively, I warn you, history teaches: You couldn’t be more wrong.

Glenn Beck / quote

07c. 2003 AD

Sometimes the hardest part of the journey is believing you're worthy of the trip.

Glenn Beck / quote

08c. 2003 AD

Everyone wants to feel loved, but when all you feel is alone it's tough to accomplish anything else.

Glenn Beck / quote

09c. 2003 AD

The entirety of his life to this point had merely been to prepare him for what he was to do next: bring hope to the hopeless and joy to the joyless. He would serve mankind by reminding them every year that a King had been born who had died for thier sins.

Glenn Beck / quote

10c. 2003 AD

Nobody expects you to understand the mind of God or know why he would love us in the midst of our weaknesss and sin.

Glenn Beck / quote

11c. 2003 AD

God has accepted your repentance. He gives his forgiveness freely.

Glenn Beck / quote

12c. 2003 AD

Good for you, you have a heart, you can be a liberal. Now, couple your heart with your brain, and you can be a conservative.

Glenn Beck / quote

13c. 2003 AD

Maybe he thought I would run then. Maybe he thought I would be done. But I had been hurt before. I think he underestimated my ability to pick myself up and keep going. Done? Far from it.

Glenn Beck / quote

14c. 2003 AD

You cannot take away freedom to protect it, you cannot destroy the free market to save it, and you cannot uphold freedom of speech by silencing those with whom you disagree. To take rights away to defend them or to spend your way out of debt defies common sense.

Glenn Beck / quote

15c. 2003 AD

When we support or vote for candidates outside the two major political parties we are immediately lectured about wasting our vote or making it easier for the less desirable of the two major candidates to claim victory. These lies are repeated every election and they must be ignored. You never waste your vote if you vote your conscience.

Glenn Beck / quote

16c. 2003 AD

It is only on the battlefield of ideas that the best ones can be recognized and ultimately prevail. Only those afraid of the truth seek to silence debate, intimidate those with whom they disagree, or slander their ideological counterparts. Those who know they are right have no reason to stifle debate because they realize that all opposing arguments will ultimately be overcome by fact.

Glenn Beck / quote

17c. 2003 AD

... and it broke my heart in so many pieces I wondered if it would ever be whole again.

Glenn Beck / quote

18c. 2003 AD

You can hold on to the smallest doubt and take comfort in it, stay in denial and go on with your carefree life, until one day you're finally cornered by a truth that can no longer be ignored.

Glenn Beck / quote

19c. 2003 AD

Who will protect your rights better? A king, president or you? Who will protect the truth? A reporter, a labor union or you? Who will protect and teach your children to seek truth? A textbook committee, an education bureaucrat, or you? Did a commission of wise men stop the Holocaust? Did a committee of Congress end Jim Crow? No. In each case, the work was done by individuals who would not abide convenient lies. They saw injustice and they called it out. They saw their nation wage war against a single group and they said “not in my name.” They didn’t wait for the conventions of society to catch up to God’s laws. They pushed. They pressed. And they were victorious.

Glenn Beck / quote

20c. 2003 AD

When did it become a problem to be a small businessman and become successful? The small businessman - like my father, or like me?

Glenn Beck / quote

21c. 2003 AD

Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There's no understanding of it.

Glenn Beck / quote

22c. 2003 AD

Please stop teaching my children that everyone gets a trophy just for participating. What is this, the Nobel Prize? Not everybody gets a trophy.

Glenn Beck / quote

23c. 2003 AD

Let me tell you, it is still morning in America. It just happens to be kind of a head pounding, hung over for four hours in America - and it's shaping up to be a nasty day, but its still morning in America.

Glenn Beck / quote

24c. 2003 AD

I am going to take something I learned over in Israel. Their Independence Day is preceded the 24 hours before with Memorial Day, so it gives them a chance to serve and reflect and then celebrate. I am going to try to start that tradition here in America.
