Mr. President I am here to tell you we are not buying what you are selling in 2012.

The government is not your salvation. The government is not your road to prosperity. Hard work, education will take you far beyond what any government program can ever promise.

The America I know is great - not because government made it great but because ordinary citizens like me, like my father and like you are given the opportunity every day to do extraordinary things.

Hard work and education will take you farther than any government program can ever promise.

Growing up, I had a front row seat to seeing two people work really hard. My dad scrubbed toilets at a private Catholic school for a while and that was to help me get through school.

I understand people, and I think that my life and my history and what I represent can relate to a lot of the women, the independents, the moderate voters.

Difficult things aren't easy, but they're worth it.

My parents immigrated to the United States with $10 in their pocket and a belief that the America they had heard about really did exist as the land of opportunity.

According to liberals, I'm not supposed to exist. I know that I am going to be a target for the Left. I have something to say to them: 'Game On.'

So the America I came to know growing up was filled with all the excitement and possibilities found in living the American dream.

The Democrats have come right out and said it: the power of the central government shall have no limits at all.

Winter is a time to pause, reflect and renew for the coming Spring.

Not only have computers changed the way we think, they've also discovered what makes humans think - or think we're thinking. At least enough to predict and even influence it.

The Concorde is great. It gives you three extra hours to find your luggage.

Life yields only to the conqueror.

If people want to think I get drunk and stay out all night, let'em. That's how I got here, you know.

Body is not all. Mind is not all. Spirit is not all. All three make the sense.

In a democracy, the public should be asked how much security and how much privacy they want for themselves.

An ordinary visit to a beautiful garden always creates an extraordinary time!

Creation lives alone in a small temple. Only one may worship at a time.

Turning one's novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.
