Richard Quest

This silent majority are the Americans who love God, their family, and our amazing country. They don't want their morals, their job, or their lifestyle threatened by the government or any candidates.

Charlie Kirk

3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is a paradox; as is a paradox why the number 1 is not prime if it has no other divisors besides himself.

Bertrand Russell

Women should marry when they are about eighteen years of age, and men at seven and thirty; then they are in the prime of life, and the decline in the powers of both will coincide.
