“We will not cut one penny from the safety net until we’ve cut every penny from corporate welfare.”

I think we need to treat everybody with dignity.

There is nothing conservative about bailing out Wall Street. Likewise, there is nothing progressive about billion dollar loans to millionaires to build solar panels.

I will not vote to send my sons, or your sons, daughters, brothers, sisters or friends to fight for a stalemate.

Inherent to socialism is the absence of choice. If I want to choose my own pretzels or books or iphones, they prevent me – they fine me, or imprison me. And those systems, not infrequently have historically, have developed into systems where there are programs.

It’s curious that only in Washington can you spend $2 billion and claim that you’re saving money.

America’s not the world’s policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act.

The Constitution was not written to restrain the citizen’s behavior, it was written to restrain the government’s behavior.

I never, ever cheated [in medical school]. I don’t condone cheating. But I would sometimes spread misinformation. This is a great tactic. Misinformation can be very important.

All issues of crime are better addressed at the state level.

No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.

We shouldn’t be fearful of freedom, we shouldn’t be fearful of individual liberty.

I don’t plan on being bashful.

I’m not in favor of any discrimination of any form.

We have a mantra: don’t be evil, which is to do the best things we know how for our users, for our customers, for everyone. So I think if we were known for that, it would be a wonderful thing.

When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.

If I don’t get along with Democrats, I’m sort of, like, out of business.

Dont count the things you do, do the things that count.

We need to continue to work toward market stability.

It is an axiom in my mind, that our liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people themselves, and that too of the people with a certain degree of instruction. This it is the business of the State to effect, and on a general plan.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to plan to sell a company.

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.
