  3. A tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.
  4. A woman's whole life is a history of the affections.
  5. Acting provides the fulfillment of never being fulfilled. You're never as good as you'd like to be. So there's always something to hope for.
  6. After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence, though deficient in personal charms, than I have been by the most regular beauty.
  7. Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
  8. An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.
  9. Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.
  10. He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart.
  11. Honest good humor is the oil and wine of a merry meeting, and there is no jovial companionship equal to that where the jokes are rather small and laughter abundant.
  12. Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love.
  13. Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune but great minds rise above them.
  14. Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
  15. Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three.
  16. One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
  17. Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
  18. Temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.
  19. The natural effect of sorrow over the dead is to refine and elevate the mind.
  20. The natural principle of war is to do the most harm to our enemy with the least harm to ourselves and this of course is to be effected by stratagem.
  21. There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
  22. There is certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.
  23. There is never jealousy where there is not strong regard.
  24. Those men are most apt to be obsequious and conciliating abroad, who are under the discipline of shrews at home.
  25. Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs? No - no, your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.
  26. Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.

  1. Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.
  2. Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
  3. Faith is important to me.
  4. Honestly, I think a good film is spiritual, regardless of whether its subject is faith.
  5. I can't get my knickers in a twist about my age and ageing in an industry that caters to the ids of 14-year-olds.
  6. I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.
  7. I don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.
  8. I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.
  9. I have tender, romantic associations with upstate New York.
  10. I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.
  11. I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.
  12. I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.
  13. I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.
  14. It's a very different thing, religion and faith. Religion is man-made, it's man-regulated. And faith, you can define God as you wish. But I think they're two different things.
  15. I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
  16. Music is what our feelings sound like.
  17. Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.
  18. The Ukrainian community is tight-knit by nature.
  19. There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.
  20. There really are three types of 'religious' movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.
  21. There's no wrong way to experience a film.
  22. Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.
  23. You earn very little money on independent films and I'm the provider for my home, so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures.

  2. By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.
  3. Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.
  4. Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

  6. Electricity is really just organized lightning.
  7. Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.
  8. I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work.
  9. If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
  10. I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.
  11. In comic strips, the person on the left always speaks first.
  12. Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
  13. Religion is just mind control.
  14. Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.
  15. The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.
  16. The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going.
  17. The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
  18. There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
  19. Weather forecast for tonight: dark.
  20. Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?
  21. What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on before you get on?
  22. When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I'm sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
  23. When you step on the brakes your life is in your foot's hands.
  24. You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.

  1. A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.
  2. A leader who confines his role to his people's experience dooms himself to stagnation a leader who outstrips his people's experience runs the risk of not being understood.

  4. Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God.

  6. Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem.

  18. The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.
  19. The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn't make it.
  20. There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.
  21. University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small.
  22. We cannot always assure the future of our friends we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.

  1. All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.
  2. All war is based on deception.
  3. All war is deception.
  4. Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?
  5. He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.
  6. If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity.
  7. If we know that our own men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the enemy is not open to attack, we have gone only halfway towards victory.
  8. If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
  9. In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact to shatter and destroy it is not so good.
  10. It is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for the purposes of spying, and thereby they achieve great results.
  11. Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.
  12. Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared.
  13. Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
  14. Secret operations are essential in war upon them the army relies to make its every move.
  15. The enlightened ruler is heedful, and the good general full of caution.
  16. The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.
  17. The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.
  18. The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.
  19. The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
  20. There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.
  21. There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.
  22. Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
  23. Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.
  24. Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

  1. Art is not living. It is the use of living.
  2. Black women are programmed to define ourselves within this male attention and to compete with each other for it rather than to recognize and move upon our common interests.
  3. Black women sharing close ties with each other, politically or emotionally, are not the enemies of Black men.
  4. But the true feminist deals out of a lesbian consciousness whether or not she ever sleeps with women.
  5. But, on the other hand, I get bored with racism too and recognize that there are still many things to be said about a Black person and a White person loving each other in a racist society.
  6. I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.
  7. I can't really define it in sexual terms alone although our sexuality is so energizing why not enjoy it too?
  8. I remember how being young and black and gay and lonely felt. A lot of it was fine, feeling I had the truth and the light and the key, but a lot of it was purely hell.
  9. I would like to do another piece of fiction dealing with a number of issues: Lesbian parenting, the 1960's, and interracial relationships in the Lesbian and Gay community.
  10. I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.
  11. In discussions around the hiring and firing of Black faculty at universities, the charge is frequently heard that Black women are more easily hired than are Black men.
  12. In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction.
  13. It's a struggle but that's why we exist, so that another generation of Lesbians of color will not have to invent themselves, or their history, all over again.
  14. Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat.
  15. Poetry is not only dream and vision it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
  16. The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower.
  17. The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot.
  18. The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.
  19. There's always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself - whether it's Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc. - because that's the piece that they need to key in to. They want to dismiss everything else.
  20. We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us, the love of Black women for each other.
  21. When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
  22. When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid.
  23. When we create out of our experiences, as feminists of color, women of color, we have to develop those structures that will present and circulate our culture.

  2. Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.

  8. If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.
  9. If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.
  10. It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.
  11. It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
  12. Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.
  13. Life is but a moment, death also is but another.
  14. My family and I would never receive royalties on the revenue that my materials brought into the church materials that were created on our own personal time.
  15. Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.
  16. Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking, but rather ideas, If the ideas are good, cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.
  17. Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
  18. Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation.
  19. The Roman Catholic Church isn't going to change its theologies.

  21. What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?
  22. You never suffer from a money problem, you always suffer from an idea problem.

  1. A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.
  2. But with the steady disintegration of the family in modern society over the last century, the role of the school in bridging the gap has become vital!
  3. Despite all our gains in technology, product innovation and world markets, most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.
  4. Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
  5. Employers and business leaders need people who can think for themselves - who can take initiative and be the solution to problems.
  6. Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
  7. Historically, the family has played the primary role in educating children for life, with the school providing supplemental scaffolding to the family.
  8. In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.
  9. It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.
  10. Live out of your imagination, not your history.
  11. Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.
  12. There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.
  13. Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships.
  14. We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.
  15. We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.

  1. Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
  2. I can't advise any of the young ones, because I don't know what their background was, but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a real problem.
  3. I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.
  4. I mean, no one asks beauty secrets of me, or 'What size do you wear?' or 'Who's your couturier?' They ask me about really deep things and I love that.
  5. I never would have given up my work to stay home.
  6. I want women to be liberated and still be able to have a nice ass and shake it.
  7. I wasn't afraid of getting old, because I was never a great beauty.
  8. I'd like to introduce someone who has just come into my life. I've admired him for 35 years. He's someone who represents integrity, honesty, art, and on top of that stuff I'm actually sleeping with him.
  9. If anything interferes with my inner peace, I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.
  10. It's a big deal for me to say I'm over politics.
  11. It's useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
  12. I've gotten crankier in my old age.
  13. I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.
  14. Remember, I come from such an excessively overdone, red-carpet place called Hollywood. So I'm used to people blowing up their success in ways that are far above and beyond the truth.
  15. Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
  16. The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.
  17. The soul is everlasting, and its learning experience is lifetime after lifetime.
  18. Things are done according to money these days.
  19. We need proof in our society.

  21. Women being pitted each other another in Hollywood is an old tactic, but it's not real at all.
  22. Women love working together. That's my experience anyway.

  1. Country music is still your grandpa's music, but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it.
  2. For a good 10 to 12 years, I was working non-stop and I wasn't really enjoying my success.
  3. Fortunately, when you're a mom, the responsibility of caring for your child can keep you going.
  4. I certainly don't think you need to be famous to want to leave a legacy, but when you are famous, it's even more likely that your child will get the wrong perspective on your life if you die prematurely.
  5. I do not see my family life in any way, shape, or form as an opportunity for a photo.
  6. I enjoy sports in person.
  7. I have arm-wrestled here and there... guys seem to want to test my strength.
  8. I like being at home and cooking.
  9. I lost my sense of trust, honesty and compassion. I crashed down and became what I consider an emotional mess. I've never been so miserable in my whole life. I just wanted to go to bed and never get up.
  10. I love music.
  11. I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life.
  12. I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.
  13. I spent a lot of my life holding back my cries, and I want to change that because it's not good for me.
  14. I temporarily lost my hope in love, and it was temporary, thank goodness.
  15. I wouldn't call myself a feminist, because I think there are differences between men and women.
  16. I'll always be sad that my marriage ended.
  17. In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.
  18. It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique.
  19. Later in my life, I'm going to look back and smile and be very fulfilled. I know that if I don't give it my all right now I'll regret it later. That's very important to me, because I've worked all my life to have this.
  20. Marilyn Monroe never sold a platinum album. And more people know my music than what I look like.
  21. Music is a great natural high and a great natural escape.
  22. My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind, and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.
  23. The only reason that you do visual is solely for the visual. That's the only reason. It doesn't sell your music for you.
  24. Without a doubt, the best way to get to know me is through my music.
  25. Yes, you can lose somebody overnight, yes, your whole life can be turned upside down. Life is short. It can come and go like a feather in the wind.

  1. A widow's refusal of a lover is seldom so explicit as to exclude hope.
  2. As a child is indulged or checked in its early follies, a ground is generally laid for the happiness or misery of the future man.

  5. Hope is the cordial that keeps life from stagnating.
  6. If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.
  7. Let a man do what he will by a single woman, the world is encouragingly apt to think Marriage a sufficient amends.
  8. Love before marriage is absolutely necessary.
  9. Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.
  10. Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.
  11. Men will bear many things from a kept mistress, which they would not bear from a wife.
  12. Nothing in human nature is so God-like as the disposition to do good to our fellow-creatures.
  13. O! what a Godlike Power is that of doing Good! I envy the Rich and the Great for nothing else!
  14. Quantity in food is more to be regarded than quality. A full meal is a great enemy both to study and industry.
  15. Smatterers in learning are the most opinionated.
  16. The Cause of Women is generally the Cause of Virtue.
  17. The difference in the education of men and women must give the former great advantages over the latter, even where geniuses are equal.
  18. The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.
  19. There is a pride, a self-love, in human minds that will seldom be kept so low as to make men and women humbler than they ought to be.
  20. Vast is the field of Science. The more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know.
  21. Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal.
  22. Women are always most observed when they seem themselves least to observe, or to lay out for observation.
  23. Women are so much in love with compliments that rather than want them, they will compliment one another, yet mean no more by it than the men do.
  24. Women do not often fall in love with philosophers.
  25. Women love to be called cruel, even when they are kindest.

  1. But I love being scared. I think you're brave only when you do things that scare you. I've always used fear as a motivator. I'm not sure why.
  2. Couldn't start the morning without caffeine.
  3. I am much more open to plural marriage than I was before, and I now support it in certain situations. I do believe it is right for some people. But our example in America today is gross abuse - I can't support it in fundamentalist compounds.
  4. I don't know why anyone would want to ask an actor for dating advice. We are not the poster children for healthy relationships.
  5. I love Valentine's Day! I love it, I love it, I love it. I like having doors opened for me. My favorite romantic comedy is 'When Harry Met Sally.'
  6. I really am super lazy and doing long hair, especially mine, is a big pain in the butt. It's filled with cowlicks and kinks and curls and frizz - and it was taking too much time in the morning.
  7. I'm so an all-or-nothing person in dating, always. I'm big on not wasting time. And so, yeah, if something's not working, it's time to not hold people back.
  8. It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
  9. I've always been sort of addicted to genre-jumping. I've never been in the mood to do the same thing I did last time. Hence, me going from 'Big Love' to romantic comedy, to period film... I can't sit still.
  10. I've never had body issues, I've never had an eating disorder. I've never had to go on a diet and that's because of Weight Watchers.
  11. Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm really obsessive about anything dealing with my health.
  12. When I'm doing a film, I love getting together after work with my costars. But we get back to L.A. and I'm like, 'I don't want to go to a club with you, dude. I mean, I think you're rad, and if you want to come play Scrabble with me, that's amazing'.
  13. Why do only boys get to chase? Nuh-uh! If anything, I think this whole sitting back and waiting thing can be self-sabotaging. We have to send up flares. We have to let guys know we're open for business.
  14. You know, one of my biggest dreams in life is to play a Disney princess.

  1. A transfer of money should never be involved in this profound situation. Although illness is profound, too, but medicine's a business today. It's a business.
  2. Am I a criminal? The world knows I'm not a criminal. What are they trying to put me in jail for? You've lost common sense in this society because of religious fanaticism and dogma.
  3. As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified.
  4. Fear controls you.
  5. Freedom has a price. Most people aren't willing to pay it.
  6. I don't enjoy good food. I don't enjoy flashy cars. I don't care if I live in a dump. I don't enjoy good clothes. This is the best I've dressed in months.
  7. I gambled and I lost. I failed in securing my options for this choice for myself, but I succeeded in verifying the Dark Age is still with us.
  8. I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
  9. I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.
  10. If Christ can die in a barn, I think the death of a human in a van is not so bad.
  11. I'm not a romantic.
  12. I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.
  13. Let's hope you feel better now.
  14. My religion centers in different areas than what's considered conventional religion.
  15. My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.
  16. Not one has shown an iota of fear of death. They want to end this agony.
  17. The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.
  18. The patient's autonomy always, always should be respected, even if it is absolutely contrary - the decision is contrary to best medical advice and what the physician wants.
  19. The Supreme Court of the United States... has validated the Nazi method of execution in... concentration camps, starving them to death.
  20. There is nothing anyone can do anyway. The public has no power. The government knows I'm not a criminal. The parole board knows I'm not a criminal. The judge knows I'm not a criminal.
  21. This could never be a crime in any society which deems himself enlightened.
  22. What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.
  23. You're basing your laws and your whole outlook on natural life on mythology. It won't work. That's why you have all these problems in the world. Name them: India, Pakistan, Ireland. Name them-all these problems. They're all religious problems.
  24. You've gotta know what death is to know life!

  1. A free society will abide unofficial, private discrimination, even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin.
  2. American inventiveness and the desire to build developed because we were guaranteed the right to own our success.
  3. Do we fear terrorism so much that we throw out our Constitution, and are we unwilling and afraid to debate our Constitution?
  4. Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant?
  5. For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, 'you don't build that.'
  6. Giving someone a one-time stimulus check, or a one-time tax cut that expires doesn't allow the predictability that business needs.
  7. I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person.
  8. I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.
  9. I have a message from the Tea Party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words. We've come to take our government back.
  10. I tell people I won't vote to go to war unless I'm ready to go or send my kids.
  11. I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator.
  12. I think my dad has helped me tremendously.
  13. I would have voted 'no' on the Iraq war and 'yes' to Afghanistan.
  14. If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.
  15. In America, as opposed to the old country, success was based on merit.
  16. I've had an interest in politics since I was a little kid.
  17. The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective.
  18. The main thing I say on war is that we need to obey the law and formally declare war.
  19. The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
  20. We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.
  21. We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries - the financial industry or any other industry.
  22. You can't have it both ways. You can't tell me that you're taxed enough already, and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say, 'Bring me home some bacon.' The pig has been picked clean.
  23. You don't go into politics unless you want to win.
  24. You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they're tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government.
