“Ladies and gentlemen: There can be no greater investment in Alabama’s future than an investment in education.”

Drugs are the enemies of ambition and hope – and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future.

Government does not create jobs. It only helps create the conditions that make jobs more or less likely.

I ask you: turn a deaf ear to the special interests. Let politics stand down for a while. don’t waste anytime thinking about future elections until we’ve done our jobs here.

The men and women who serve in our military have won for us every hour we live in freedom, sometimes at the expense of the very hours of the lifetimes they had hoped to live.

In a time of tight budgets, difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities.

One person can make a difference. In fact, its not only possible for one person to make a difference, its essential that one person makes a difference. And believe it or not, that person is you.

I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children’s classrooms and in their future.

Perseverance is a virtue that cannot be understated.

Different places. Different ideas. Different people. It’s all hard to accept at times, and change can often be a little scary. But if there’s one fact that I’ve learned from raising a family, from running several businesses, from serving in Congress and now as Governor, it’s that nothing has ever grown without changing.

In the wake of this disaster, the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida should know that the United States Congress stands ready to help them in their time of need,.

Oh! Moon of Alabama We now must say good-bye We’ve lost our good old mama And must have whiskey Oh, you know why!

Think of all the hate there is in Red China, then take a look around to Selma, Alabama.

I’m not going to be the Alabama coach.
