“I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty, and like Him, I love all of humanity.”

“I don't use any of the terminology like 'left wing' and 'right wing.' I use language like 'godly' and 'holiness.'”

“It was about 5 years after I was baptized before the pull of sin finally stopped.”

“Carry your Bible and live by it. There's a better chance that you will stay married if that much is true for either one of you - male or female.”

“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash.”

“What people fail to understand coughing up sin and confessing it and giving it to the only one that can remove it, for crying out loud, we're all sinners.”

“I have bitten down or swallowed a few pellets through the years. My uncle had his appendix removed and there were over 100 lead pellets in it. He might have died of lead poisoning. Now that is eating a lot of game!”

“If your woman picks your ducks, and she cooks and carries her Bible... now there's the complete package of womanhood.”

“Everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong. Sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there.”

“We were so poor as kids. I didn't even see a bathtub, running water, hot water, commode - we didn't have any of that. We started with a humble log house, milk cow, garden-raised our own food, killed a hog every year in the fall, and had the meat hanging up in the smokehouse - that was our childhood, me and ol' Si.”

“We're trying to infuse a little good into the American culture. Love God, love your neighbor, hunt ducks. Raise your kids, make them behave, love them. I don't see the down side to that.”

“I don't own a cell phone. I've never turned on a computer in my life.”

“God-fearing people, once they're saved from their sins, they don't mind talking about it.”

“Genesis 9 is where the animals went wild, and God gave them wildness. After the flood, that's when he made animals wild. Up until that time, everybody was vegetarian.”

“Always remember this. Television, fame, money - listen, here is a news flash for America. Fame cannot remove your sin. And all of the money you ever amass cannot raise you from the dead.”

“I'm as much of a homophobe as Jesus was. The people who are participating in homosexual behavior, they need to know that I love them.”

“Two of the central ingredients to our family are food and faith, so sitting down together and thanking God for the food He's provided means everything to us. Prayer is a natural part of our lives - not only around the dinner table, but all day long.”

“You have to discipline your children, or they won't respect you, law enforcement or God or anyone else.”

“We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”

“I picked ducks in a tub in my dorm room. I'd hang deer in the doorway between the bedroom and the little living room in our little apartment there, and I'd skin my deer, and all the guts would go in the tub, and I'd sneak them out so my fellow students on both sides wouldn't see all that, you know. I'd clean fish up there and all.”
