“Having a disability changes your whole life, not just your attitude.”

I’m not a Gingrich fan. He’s just difficult to work with. It’s either Newt’s way or the highway.

If something happened along the route and you had to leave your children with Bob Dole or Bill Clinton, I think you would probably leave them with Bob Dole.

I think the voters believe that when you become president of the United States, you have a higher obligation and a higher standard than anybody in the world. And if you violate that standard, they’re going to remember it on election day.

President Obama came to visit me in the hospital. He said, ‘I wish you were still in the Senate; I need your help.’ I’m not certain I can help on everything. Maybe some things.

When these political action committees give money, they expect something in return other than good government.

There they are. See no evil, hear no evil, and…evil.

I lost in ’96, in case the word hadn’t trickled out, and so I made a few commercials.

Elizabeth’s back at the Red Cross, and I’m walking the dog.

I don’t know how many people run for vice president and president and lose both.

The difference between possible and impossible is hard work and commitment.

No more verbally incomprehensible no more devoid of the vision thing and no more the cautious pragmatist proudly displaying the virtues of tradition and the advantages of biological seniority.

I think it’s OK to talk about your military service, but there’s a fine line between, you know, too much and just about right.

Yet when the blood of the sons of immigrants and the grandsons of slaves fell on foreign fields, it was American blood.

This is not a coincidence. This is not a coincidence. And with all due respect, I am here to tell you it does not take a village to raise a child. It takes a family to raise a child.

For the past four decades the world behind the Iron Curtain … looked to Americans for hope, and America looked to you to get the job done. Today, the free world says thank you.

If you’re hanging around with nothing to do and the zoo is closed, come over to the Senate. You’ll get the same kind of feeling and you won’t have to pay.

I feel that I’ve lived and see the same evolution in this regard around disability.

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that’s not the case.

You amputate part of a nose, that’s ‘enhancement’. You put a prosthetic in a breast cavity, that’s ‘augmentation’. But you amputate part of a limb and put a prosthetic there, it’s ‘disability’?

The only true disability is a crushed spirit

Truthfully, the only real and consistent disability I’ve had to confront is the world ever thinking that I could be described by those definitions.

For every disability you have, you are blessed with more than enough abilities to overcome your challenges.

Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I chose gratitude.

Pain is Pain. Broken is Broken. FEAR is the Biggest Disability of all. And will PARALYZE you More Than Being in a Wheelchair.
