Everyone matures. When I was Newt's age, I thought I had the right answer to things. The baby-boomers as political leaders are still on trial by the American people.

I'm in a wonderful position: I'm unknown, I'm underrated, and there's nowhere to go but up.

Ronald Reagan gave our party a bowling alley image as opposed to a country club image. We were talking to people who go bowling on Thursday night, and they were understanding what we were saying.

We didn't think taxes ought to go up. They ought to go down. We didn't think the census ought to be weakened.

The sea change that has come is the information age. We don't have to just read The New York Times anymore. We can pull up something on the Internet and get any news that we like.

Newt correctly assumes that the American public is beginning to look down the road and at least distinguish the landmarks on either side and know where it wants go. We have a chance to lead it there.

Talk radio has made an enormous run around establishment media. But the Interne is making an end run around talk radio. Suddenly we're faced with an information age.

If you're going to try to win an election, you can't be 80 percent. You can't say, I'm for what my Democratic opponent is, for but not quite so much of it.

Newt Gingrich's job to capture the Congress was to give Republican candidates an edge and a distinction from their Democratic opponent. That required a very high profile, some very strong language.

One of the tragedies of the Bush administration is that we went back to business as usual, make a deal with the Democrats, lets all be friends in Washington philosophy.

Has President Bush exceeded his constitutional authority or acted illegally in authorizing wiretaps without a warrant? Benjamin Franklin would not have thought so.

Our heaven is their hell, said God. I like a balanced universe.

God prescribes the remedy for the ills of the human race. That remedy is personal faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. The remedy is to be born again.

Understanding is a kind of ecstasy

I'd like to help educate kids about the Major Leagues - what to anticipate, what to expect, what they'll need to do to prepare themselves.

Better and sweeter than health, or friends, or money, or fame, or ease, or prosperity, is the adorable will of our God.

Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly. Maybe people don't.

The foolish undertake a trifling act, and soon desist, discouraged; wise men engage in mighty works, and persevere.

Everyone looked pensive, which is good cover-up for clueless.

Maybe I'm an emblem of an old era, and I have to move on.

Don’t become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.
