The president has declared that the debate over government-controlled health care is over. That will come as news to the millions of Americans who will elect Mitt Romney so we can repeal Obamacare.

Exploiting people's emotions of fear, envy and anxiety is not hope, it's not change, it's partisanship. We don't need partisanship. We don't need demagoguery, we need solutions.

We don’t want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people to lives of dependency and complacency...

Big-government economics breeds crony capitalism. It's corrupt, anything but neutral, and a barrier to broad participation in prosperity.

A free economy and strong communities honor the dignity of every person, rewarding effort with justice, promoting upward mobility, and building solidarity among citizens.

Mr. Vice President, I know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground, but I think people would be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other.

If somebody is going to try to paste a person's view on epistemology to me, then give me Thomas Aquinas. Don't give me Ayn Rand.

We will not spend four years blaming others, we will take responsibility.

We need to stop spending money we don't have.

The best way to love a woman is to let her bloom like a flower so that you can enjoy her beauty without plucking her petals.

I was willing to accept what I couldn't change.

Flying was as necessary to my business as fiddles and footlights.

Oh, poor me (jokingly, after being told that Randy Johnson & Pedro Martinez would make more in 2003 than he would). What do I do now? I guess I'll have to get a second job.

I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.

Independent film is not only an oxymoron; it doesn't exist anymore.

Let the music diffuse all the tension.

I plucked a ruby off the nearest plant and threw it at Hades.

I had to do something special coming in. I didn't do it, so I had to do it in the playoff. Winning the Mercedes is awesome. Winning three times is a dream come true.

There is no higher qualification than genuine inspiration.
