My father would always say "learn everything you can and whenever you can, because you never know when it'll come in handy."

I've had the philosophy that John Adams expressed, in the kind of system that we're trying to create in this country: that this is a system for moral people. It will work for no other.

A lot of the Republican rhetoric better than the Democrats'. But when they're in office, it's pretty much the same thing. It's serving their supporters, it's corporate welfare, it's cronyism which is so destructive, particularly to the disadvantaged.

My father wanted to instill the work ethic. And, because he knew if you don't learn to work to be more productive to improve your efficiency, to cooperate with other people at an early age, you may never learn those habits.

What we need to work on is how to increase productivity. And then everybody will be better off.

All of our policies are based on whether it will make - enable people to improve their lives or it will make their lives worse.

I like to think that I try to learn something every day - and change my views, modify my views as I learn.
