I have not made any plans for the future, and my wife would kill me if I announced anything before that.

It's time to put our differences aside and find ways to work together to move Wisconsin forward.

We showed that when we say 'Wisconsin is open for business', we mean it.

The unions say 'last hired - first fired,', we say hire and fire based on merit. We want the best and brightest in the classroom.

But I don't want massive layoffs of anyone - public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.

I promised to empower the taxpayer - instead of a handful of big government union bosses.

I still remember, as a kid, tying a yellow ribbon around a tree in front of my house during the 444 days that Iran held 52 Americans hostage. Iran is not a place we should be doing business with.

I hate big government, but I really hate a government that doesn't work. So when 'they say we either have to raise taxes or cut core services,' it's actually a 'false choice.

I'd like now and into the future to play a bigger role not only in Wisconsin and the Midwest, but nationally. I'd like to have an impact.

Find what you love, now give all your heart to get it.

Why do you work so hard to make yourself disliked? I should think you'd find it happens enough on its own without putting yourself to any extra trouble.

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.

I'd always been a great fan of George Orwell.

Most women are pragmatists who have allowed extremists on the left and right to manipulate the family issue for their own purposes.

Where was the catch? 'Cause I knew one was coming.

There is this cave In the air behind my body That nobody is going to touch: A cloister, a silence Closing around a blossom of fire. When I stand upright in the wind, My bones turn to dark emeralds.

Drawing - it's the first language of human beings, before writing, before even talking, before words, human beings was drawing.

On my own account I certainly wouldn't have become the director of a couture house. I didn't have sufficient admiration for fashion as such to have done so.

Women are the simple, and poets the superior, artisans of language... the intervention of grammarians is almost always bad.
