I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America but the business and administrative centre of American culture.

The American formula for creating business is not to have the government create business.

Secure our borders first. Let us know and let us make sure the American people know that we're taking care of the important business of dealing with the illegal immigration into this country. You cannot begin to address the concerns of the people who are already here unless and until you have made certain that no more are coming in behind them.

After I left the White House I kept a foothold in the business of American politics as a talk-show host analyst commentator speechmaker and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner but I was still a partisan a Democrat a blue-stater through and through.

The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible at least on the scale it occurred.

Americans chose a free enterprise system designed to provide a quality of opportunity not compel a quality of results. And that is why this is only place in the world where you can open up a business in the spare bedroom of your home.

Baseball just a came as simple as a ball and bat. Yet as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport a business and sometimes almost even a religion.

I'm a big fan of small business ownership. I think it's the backbone of American innovation. But to be successful you first have to have the courage to go for it.

The success I have achieved in bodybuilding motion pictures and business would not have been possible without the generosity of the American people and the freedom here to pursue your dreams.

American business has just forgotten the importance of selling.

After all the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing buying selling investing and prospering in the world.

That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story.

Freedom. Freedom of religion. Freedom to speak their mind. Freedom to build a life. And yes freedom to build a business. With their own hands. This is the essence of the American experience.

If you were successful somebody along the line gave you some help... Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.

The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty democracy and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields.

The best way to begin genuine bipartisanship to make America stronger is to work together on the real crises facing our country not to manufacture an artificial crisis to serve a special interest agenda out of touch with the needs of Americans.

Patriotism is best exemplified through auto-critique. When you're willing to stand up within the group and say 'It is wrong for Black people to be anti-Semitic ' or 'It is wrong for America to discriminate against persons of African descent and made them slaves and based its wealth upon free labor ' it's crucial to say that.

We Americans are the best informed people on earth as to the events of the last twenty-four hours we are the not the best informed as the events of the last sixty centuries.

A lot of folks believe their best years are behind them. But I want Americans to recognize that's not true.

North Americans as a whole need to embrace having clothes altered to their body. I hear it all the time: why do the Europeans always look so good? They have a relationship with their tailor and spend the time and money to make their clothes look their best.

The best thing we can do if we want the Russians to let us be Americans is to let the Russians be Russian.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay then it's you.

In fact the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code. This will be a tough job but members of both parties have expressed an interest in doing this and I am prepared to join them.

I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom limited government and minding our own business overseas.
