Paul Harvey

"Mr. President, I love you, but you're wrong."

"I’m not nearly so anxious about the lousy Communists as I am about lazy Americans."

"In times like these, it's helpful to remember that there have always been times like these."

"We sent men with rifles into Afghanistan and Iraq, and we kept our best weapons in their silos. Even now, we're standing there dying, daring to do nothing decisive because we've declared ourselves to be better than our terrorist enemies, more moral, more civilized. Our image is at stake, we insist. But we didn't come this far because we are made of sugar candy. Once upon a time, we elbowed our way onto and into this continent by giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans. Yes, that was biological warfare. And we used every other weapon we could get our hands on, to grab this land from whomever, and we grew prosperous. And yes, we greased the skids with the sweat of slaves. And so it goes with most great nation-states, which feeling guilty about their savage pasts, eventually civilize themselves out of business, and wind up invaded and ultimately dominated by the lean, hungry, up-and-coming who are not made of sugar candy."

"This is the highest honor I have received since 60-some years ago, when Angel said "I do.""

"Tomorrows forecast for Afghanistan cloudy and ten thousand degrees. September 12, 2001"

"And now you know -- the rest of the story."

"Paul Harvey … Good Day!"

"Just what not why..."

"It's not one world."

"Not all that we call progress is progress."

"Today's quote worth requoting..."

"Now wash out your ears with this."

"Now … for what it's worth."

"In USA Today … today."

"In shirt-sleeve English ..."

"Holy Shamoley ..."

"And now … over my shoulder a backward glance ..."

"Shop talk ..."

"Man—despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication, and his many accomplishments—owes his existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains."

"Paul Harvey was the most listened to man in the history of radio. … There is no one who will ever come close to him."
