With Benghazi, I don’t see anyone saying, ‚Hey look, I am overall responsible for this and therefore, I take responsibility for what happened. It’s my fault.‘ I haven’t heard that yet. Meanwhile, the other side of the coin, the Osama bin Laden raid, it seems everyone made that decision, and that’s just unbelievable to me.

‚Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall.

A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers.

I don’t have any regrets. I made all my own decisions.

Who will take responsibility for raising the next generation?

Man is not free unless government is limited.

Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.

I want to be very clear: I will not sign on to any health plan that adds to our deficits over the next decade.

If it wasn’t for the fun and money, I really don’t know why I’d bother.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.

Every man, every woman who has to take up the service of government, must ask themselves two questions: ‚Do I love my people in order to serve them better? Am I humble and do I listen to everybody, to diverse opinions in order to choose the best path?‘ If you don’t ask those questions, your governance will not be good.

I don’t envy or much respect people who are completely politicised.

By what principle of original right is it that one-fiftieth or one-ninetieth of a great nation, by calling themselves a State, have the right to break up and ruin that nation as a matter of original principle?

A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today – and in fact we have forgotten.

I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‚Why did you do that?‘ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

My first job in all honesty is going to continue to be mom-in-chief. Making sure that in this transition, which will be even more of a transition for the girls… that they are settled and that they know they will continue to be the center of our universe.

A lot of people have a sense-of-entitlement mentality that somebody else ought to do these things for them. People are mad at the government for not getting jobs for them. I don’t understand why it’s the government’s responsibility.

Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none.

I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.

There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.

People were asleep, but I think they’re waking up now. Trump has given everybody a good kick, and people are waking up and realizing they’ve got to get involved.

I just hate meetings. Though it’s true that once you’ve made a lot of money, people around you might be full of ideas about ways to make lots more money and might be disappointed that you don’t want to seize every opportunity to do so.

I’ve been a mogul and executive since the beginning of my career. People are just born with that skill.

Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.

If you want to occupy the C-suite or the top one-tenth of 1% in any organization, you have to be obsessively devoted to your career at the expense of everything else. And women look at that, and they think, ‚No.‘

All the political angst and moral melodrama about getting ‚the rich‘ to pay ‚their fair share‘ is part of a big charade. This is not about economics, it is about politics.

I’ll be honest: I haven’t ruled politics out.

If you have to control people, you have to have an administrative force that does it. So in U.S. industry, even more than elsewhere, there’s layer after layer of management – a kind of economic waste, but useful for control and domination. And the same is true in universities.

Politics doesn’t make strange bedfellows – marriage does.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.

The spirit of America has nurtured responsibility and community unlike any other country.

A president has an inescapable responsibility to provide direction: What are we trying to achieve? What are we trying to prevent? Why? To do that, he has to both analyze and reflect.

I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African American.

He who molds the public sentiment… makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to make.

When I had to make a decision whether or not an activity was appropriate for the Sabbath, I simply asked myself, ‚What sign do I want to give to God?‘ That question made my choices about the Sabbath day crystal clear.

The jury consist of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.

Self-centered leaders manipulate when they move people for personal benefit. Mature leaders motivate by moving people for mutual benefit.

Leaders who are kind of insecure or egocentric, they basically sabotage themselves.

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

Every time I try to retire, or even think of retiring from acting, my agent comes up with a script.

What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.

If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottage princes‘ palaces.

Those of us who submitted or surrendered our ideas and dreams and identities to the ‚leaders‘ must take back our rights, our identities, our responsibilities.

A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office that a Republican wants.

We are not punished for our sins, but by them.

Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There’s nothing to do but to stand there and take it.

Trump has no sense of shame.

People invest in businesses that they believe have the leadership, mission and team to grow and operate profitably.

Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.

I think that if I would talk on a political subject, if I talk about it, it would divide the audience on that issue. That’s not my issue.

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility – I welcome it.

I think that people are tired. They’re tired of the same old kind of politics. People want a new tone to politics.

For Forms of Government let fools contest; whatever is best administered is best.

Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.

Facts are not liberals‘ strong suit. Rhetoric is.

One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make is choosing the kind of universe you exist in: is it helpful and supportive or hostile and unsupportive? Your answer to this question will make all the difference in terms of how you live your life and what kind of Divine assistance you attract.

The old-fashioned idea is that responsibility falls upon those who borrow and lend. Money was not borrowed by campesinos, assembly plant workers, or slum-dwellers. The mass of the population gained little from borrowing, indeed often suffered grievously from its effects.

I’m committed to the people of Gujarat. I will devote each and every moment to serve my people of Gujarat.
