I have unbelievable support among Republicans.

It's time to put our differences aside and find ways to work together to move Wisconsin forward.

We showed that when we say 'Wisconsin is open for business', we mean it.

The unions say 'last hired - first fired,', we say hire and fire based on merit. We want the best and brightest in the classroom.

But I don't want massive layoffs of anyone - public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.

I promised to empower the taxpayer - instead of a handful of big government union bosses.

I still remember, as a kid, tying a yellow ribbon around a tree in front of my house during the 444 days that Iran held 52 Americans hostage. Iran is not a place we should be doing business with.

I hate big government, but I really hate a government that doesn't work. So when 'they say we either have to raise taxes or cut core services,' it's actually a 'false choice.

When we win, it will tell every politician in America that if you are bold, if you do the right thing, if you tackle the tough issues, there will be people standing there right with you.

Collective bargaining isn't a right, it is an expensive entitlement. Once and for all, we are giving the taxpayers a voice in this debate. We put the power back in the hands of the people.

I'd like now and into the future to play a bigger role not only in Wisconsin and the Midwest, but nationally. I'd like to have an impact.

Negative stimulus may paralyze positive life.

When admiring other people's gardens, don't forget to tend to your own flowers.

Every end of every day is the most important time of that day because you confront with your past and you obtain a chance for tomorrow not to repeat your past mistakes!

We don't live in the world of reality, we live in the world of how we perceive reality.

[Heraclitus] concluded that coming-to-be itself could not be anything evil or unjust.

But really, Marilla, one can't stay sad very long in such an interesting world, can one?

We have received a dog with serious eye problems and a skin disease in hopeless stage. The person who brought it here demanded we cure it for free and refused the idea of euthanasia to end its pain.

The quiet, singing voice of the rose. The song that promised all might be well, all might be well, that all manner of things might be well.

If I'm going to get hit, why let the guy who's going to hit me get the easiest and best shot? I explode into the guy who's trying to tackle me.

When you fall in love, you become weak.
