Ronald Reagan said trust, but verify. President Barack Obama is trust, but vilify. He trusts our enemies and vilifies everyone who disagrees with him.

We don't have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem. And since we've ordered god out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised ... when all hell breaks loose.

I'm one of the strongest advocates for the arts you'll ever find!

A fraudulent vote is a stolen vote. It steals a vote from the thin air and nullifies the legal and legitimate vote of a tax-paying citizen, whose rights to a fair election shouldn't be tampered with. Winning an election is important, but winning it honestly is imperative in a Constitutional Republic.

Vertical lift-up politics rather than horizontal left-right.

I think that, that it would be hard for New Hampshire to vote for somebody who was a fundamentalist minister, affable as he is. He does seem to actually want to write, for example, a prohibition against abortion into the Constitution , which Ronald Reagan, for all his talking about it, never tried to do one time.

I'm not a Republican because I grew up rich, but because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life poor, waiting for the government to rescue me.

I have a little pocket Bible that I have with me all the time in my briefcase, and so usually in the mornings, sometimes on the campaign bus or plane, I always try to catch some time to do that regularly.

One thing governors feel, Democrats and Republicans alike, is that we have a health care system that, if you're on Medicaid, you have unlimited access to health care, at unlimited levels, at no cost. No wonder it's running away.

Regardless of Bill Clinton's politics or personal life, he grew up in obscurity and was elected to the presidency -- twice. Don't take that away from him, because then you take it away from every other kid in America sitting out there in a school bus with a big dream.

We ought to be people of compassion. And being people of compassion means we deny ourselves, and our self centeredness.

America needs optimistic leadership to revive national soul.

The Bible, however, was not created to be amended and altered with each passing culture.

I think that whether someone is a Christian or not, the idea that a human life has dignity and intrinsic worth should be clear enough.

You don't just give the executive branch unlimited resources, unlimited power. Our founders were very concerned about too much power being invested in any one, in any branch. The balance of power is fundamental to our system.

I'm pretty sure there will be duck hunting in Heaven, and I can't wait.

Five people in robes said they are bigger than the voters of California and Congress combined. And bigger than God. May He forgive us all.

Women I know are smart, educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything that anybody else can do.

I was a timid little guy when I was a kid. I used humor as a defense; I became the class clown. But deep inside, I felt real vulnerable.

My purpose is to make sure that we protect every American, wherever that American is, and if an American is calling out for help, whether it's in Benghazi or at the border, then we ought to be able to answer it.
