My job is to think beyond the immediate.

I'm just beginning to live the next chapter of my life. In other words, politics - being governor and president - is not the end of my life. It's a chapter.

My job is a decision-making job, and as a result, I make a lot of decisions.

I believe that people want to be free. And that we face an enemy that murders innocent people to try to shake our psychology to get us to leave.

Each day millions of our citizens approach our Maker on bended knee, seeking His grace and giving thanks for the many blessings He bestows upon us.

One thing you had to learn [after the presidency] was that you no longer had the sense of responsibility that became ingrained in your system.

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.
