Rick, I’ll tell you what - ten thousand bucks? Ten thousand dollar bet?

I think an amnesty program... which is what the president (George W. Bush) has proposed... those are reasonable proposals.

The path I lay out is not one paved with ever increasing government checks and cradle to grave assurance that government will always be the solution. If this election is a bidding war for who can promise the most goodies and the most benefits, I'm not your president. You have that president today.

I like those fancy raincoats you bought. Really sprung for the big bucks.

We in America can compete successfully with anyone in the world, and we're going to.

Having strength, having a strong military, is the ally of peace. Exercising that strength through military action is not always necessary if you have the confidence and clarity of vision and purpose which America demands.

What we have, what we wish we had - ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed, investments won, investments lost, elections won, elections lost - these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us.
