I think young writers should get other degrees first social sciences arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.

It is soooooo necessary to get the basic skills because by the time you graduate undergraduate or graduate that field would have totally changed from your first day of school.

I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.

More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector because government got out of the way.

The Left regards the Constitution as defective and outmoded - in part because it impedes the government's ability to control institutions like churches and families which stand between the state and individuals.

Republicans rarely criticize Obama for lack of empathy - in part because liberals have traditionally been seen as standing up for the weak and the vulnerable. Conservatives can be just as empathetic. But they believe that in most cases it's not government's role to be the primary dispenser of empathy.

There are a lot of good causes out there but they can't possibly all be served by government.

I decided to run for governor because I got mad... I want to make government more directly accountable to the people.

So it was sort of an odd time because I had been hired but my paperwork hadn't gone through. So I worked as an intern during the government shutdown as an intern but I already had a job.

I believe the government of the United States should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause.

I don't want the chair of the government because it will be controlled by the U.S. and I don't want to be controlled by the U.S.

Many health care providers particularly physicians in rural and urban areas are leaving the Government programs because of inadequate reimbursement rates.

We don't walk. We overeat because we've made it easy to overeat. We have fast-food joints on every corner. By the way the 'we' is all of us. It's not the government. It's all of us doing this together.

If you have a government that is elected they need to do the hard work - because if they don't they won't be around the next time the ballot box is open.

My house was bugged. They couldn't find any information on me being a subversive because I happen to love America I just don't like some of the things the government is doing.

Our Founding Fathers crafted a constitutional Republic for the first time in the history of the world because they were shaping a form of government that would not have the failures of a democracy in it but had the representation of democracy in it.

We campaigned on the fact that we were going to have to take difficult decisions because of the state of the public finances. When we got into government we discovered that actually the public finances were in an even worse state than we thought.

We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect. Our government needs the church because only those humble enough to admit they are sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive.

I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.

This is a country for of and by the people not for of and by the government. If we turn it over to them we cannot complain about what they're doing because this is a natural course of men and we have to hold their feet to the fire.

Health care is one-sixth of our economy. If the government can control that they can control just about everything. We need to understand what is going on because there are much more economic models that can be used to give us good health care than what we have now.

Taxes are like abortion and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words 'abortion' or 'tax hikes' pass their lips.

Government is force pure and simple. There's no way to sugar-coat that. And because government is force it will attract the worst elements of society - people who want to use government to avoid having to earn their living and to avoid having to persuade others to accept their ideas voluntarily.

What the Founding Fathers created in the Constitution is the most magnificent government on the face of the Earth and the reason is this: because it was intended to preserve the American society and the American spirit not to transform it or destroy it.
