I will always stay hungry, never satisfied with current accomplishments.

In [my] youth I was smacked around.

I won't raise taxes, because I do not want to punish the people for the politicians' mistakes.

To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: Don't be economic girlie men!

With strength and determination you can do anything you want in life, as long as you believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will.

If they don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers ... if they don't have the guts, I call them girlie men.

Through discipline, and determination one can change anything and everything about him - his habits, his outlook on life
