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.

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.

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.

The people who are making you feel under attack is your union leadership, and they're doing it for politically intense reasons.

Governments last as long as the undertaxed can defend themselves against the overtaxed.

Books are faithful repositories, which may be awhile neglected or forgotten, but when they are opened again, will again impart their instruction.

If you don't change your schedule, you'll be the same person you've always been.

God and the politicians willing, the United States can declare peace upon the world, and win it.

I never thought I'd ever do a pirate bar, to be honest with you.

I see myself as a witness to humanity.

Bigamy ? It's having one wife too much... ...Monogamy ? It's the same.

Ghosts, like ladies, never speak till spoke to.

Patience puts up with those you'd like to put down

To help someone in need is not charity it is proper etiquette.
