As governor, part of my job is to tell people things they don't like to hear.

Unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcy - the cure is not more government spending, but helping businesses create jobs.

Nevada was hit hardest by the recession - highest unemployment, highest foreclosure rate, highest bankruptcy rate.

I know that many students take personal responsibility for their education and succeed as a result. I want them to know they are not alone - that Nevada's system can and will support them.

Racial profiling is illegal, and I do not support it.

We must remind Americans that the promise of opportunity remains unbroken - that every person in this great nation can succeed through hard work, courage and personal responsibility.

I'm a strong supporter of states' rights to do what they need.

I am proud of my heritage and my family.

My first job was cleaning sheep pens.

Dad worked his entire career as an aviation technician. Mom was a legal secretary who became a teacher. We lived a simple American life.

When you talk about a 'broad-based business tax,' that's a pretty broad term. I don't know what that means. But it's not something I would be supportive of.

The only power that I want to use is the power of love.

When I was a kid I worried that when I woke up, I'd find my family having breakfast with my doppelgänger. We would fight to the death, and then my family would peacefully finish breakfast.

It is our relation to circumstances that determines their influence over us. The same wind that carries one vessel into port may blow another off shore.

To be a Baha'i simply means to love all the world; to love humanity and try to serve it; to work for universal peace and universal brotherhood.

And I think if you're going to be with somebody, you owe it to them to show yourself.

It's time to restore the bonds of trust between citizens. Let us give thanks for all that we have and let us boldly face the exciting new frontiers that lie ahead.

I'd like to decide who comes here. I'd like to be the admissions director of New York.

Failure is not an option!

Wisdom isn't about knowing; it's an understanding that meaning is inexhaustible.

The thing is, work is the thing I love the most.
