I pray that as America reflects on the passing of my dad, they will remember a man of integrity, conviction and good humor that changed America and the world for the better. He would modestly say the credit goes to others, but I believe the credit is his.

People will see what a man of integrity (Ashcroft) is, a man of strength, a man of conviction. They have concerns, and will raise them in a partisan manner, but we are very confident he will be in good shape. Sen. Ashcroft is going to receive a fair hearing in the Senate.

When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favor of the belief which he finds in himself

[He also said recent information] confirms our conviction ... wants to strike further blows against America.

Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions which move with him like flies on a summer day

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
