I believe in the America people's ability to govern themselves. If government would just get out of the way and allow them to lead their lives as they choose they will succeed.
Americans want government that is leaner more efficient and less intrusive into their personal lives.
Our citizens are tired of big government raising their taxes and cooking up new ways to micromanage their lives our citizens are tired of big government killing jobs with their do-gooder policies. In short the people are Fed Up!
And I don't think that government has a role in telling people how to live their lives. Maybe a minister does maybe your belief in God does maybe there's another set of moral codes but I don't think government has a role.
But without a caring society without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility government is destined to grow even larger taking more of your money burrowing deeper into your lives.
I've got the greatest job in the world. There's no other job in government where cause and effect is so tightly coupled where you can make a difference every day in so many different ways and in so many different people's lives. It's a great challenge.
When man lives under government he is fallen his worth is gone and his nature tarnished.
Fiscal conservatism is just an easy way to express something that is a bit more difficult which is that the size and scope of government and really the size and scope of politics in our lives has grown uncomfortable unwieldy intrusive and inefficient.
Do we believe that the goal of government is to promote equal opportunity for all Americans to make the most of their lives? Or do we now believe that government's role is to equalize the results of peoples lives?
On one of the most personal matters of our lives our health care President Obama would turn decision making over to government bureaucrats. He forced through Obama-care and I will repeal it.
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
Free enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty to help build a strong middle class to help educate our kids and to make our lives better than all the programs of government combined.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest insane intolerable.
Government's first duty is to protect the people not run their lives.
Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.
The secret to success is good leadership and good leadership is all about making the lives of your team members or workers better.
And that's how it is in America. We look to our communities our faiths our families for our joy our support in good times and bad. It is both how we live our lives and why we live our lives.
What is the good of your stars and trees your sunrise and the wind if they do not enter into our daily lives?
I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad but I didn't try to run their lives.
The evil that men do lives after them the good is oft interred with their bones.
Even during the worst hardships when the other things in our lives seem to fall apart we can still find peace in the eternal love of God.
And poets in my view and I think the view of most people do speak God's language - it's better it's finer it's language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.
How quickly we forget God's great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles he performed in our past.
God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance renewed daily of a wonder the source of which is beyond all reason.
