When terrorists attacked the symbols of our national unity and strength they failed to realize that they were just symbols of our strength. The real strength of our nation comes from our people - not our buildings.

The weapon of the Republic is terror and virtue is its strength.

Terrorists have failed to trigger mass conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe. We should draw strength from that fact.

Insincerity is always weakness sincerity even in error is strength.

And the truth is those who are terrorists only have to succeed once and those of us who are trying to build an inclusive society have to succeed every time.

In a repressive society a writer can be deeply influential but in a society that's filled with glut and repetition and endless consumption the act of terror may be the only meaningful act.

I think the debate in our society now is that people have to agree on zero-tolerance to terrorism.

The law is an adroit mixture of customs that are beneficial to society and could be followed even if no law existed and others that are of advantage to a ruling minority but harmful to the masses of men and can be enforced on them only by terror.

There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.

Sure science involves trial and error. Scientists refine theories each day. But as they do they help us grasp more clearly the wonders of the world and the universe.

Science in the modern world has many uses its chief use however is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars conquer the deserts eradicate disease tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.

In all science error precedes the truth and it is better it should go first than last.

In a sad twist of fate the bill to reauthorize the Patriot Act was debated on the floor of the House of Representatives the same day that terrorists struck again.

The sad fact is that the same terrorist scenarios if they occurred in five different States there could be five different sets of responses to the American people. We need at a minimum a level of coordination on communicating threats to the public.

I'm proud of my invention but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists.

It is a historical error for those who were not there to just refer to August 28th as 'I Have a Dream' speech day. That is a real disservice to those who were there. It was a sad day. It was not a celebration environment.

The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort - the opening terror. Conversely the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing - the opening a wonderfully joyous moment.

Terrorism can never be accepted. We must fight it together with methods that do not compromise our respect for the rule of law and human rights or are used as an excuse for others to do so.

In better times the religion of the tribe or state has nothing in common with the private and foreign superstitions or magical rites that savage terror may dictate to the individual.

It's a bit odd that nobody seems to be using the correct technical term to describe organized Islamic terrorists. They are not a faction of a religion or a social movement. They are a cult. A suicide cult.

We first fought the heathens in the name of religion then Communism and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.

Every man either to his terror or consolation has some sense of religion.

Generally speaking the errors in religion are dangerous those in philosophy only ridiculous.
