I'm in a wonderful position: I'm unknown, I'm underrated, and there's nowhere to go but up.

Ronald Reagan gave our party a bowling alley image as opposed to a country club image. We were talking to people who go bowling on Thursday night, and they were understanding what we were saying.

We didn't think taxes ought to go up. They ought to go down. We didn't think the census ought to be weakened.

Everyone matures. When I was Newt's age, I thought I had the right answer to things. The baby-boomers as political leaders are still on trial by the American people.

The sea change that has come is the information age. We don't have to just read The New York Times anymore. We can pull up something on the Internet and get any news that we like.

Newt correctly assumes that the American public is beginning to look down the road and at least distinguish the landmarks on either side and know where it wants go. We have a chance to lead it there.

If you can imagine a thing, then it has already existed, somewhere, somewhen, somehow.

We long for more and God's promise is that there is more awaiting us. More to delight us than we will ever exhaust.

When we press the thorn to our chest we know, we understand, and still we do it.

We don't compete in the world by offering tax advantages to a few that we don't give to all our citizens and businesses

Come, cuddle your head on my shoulder, dear, your head like the golden rod, and we will go sailing away from here to the beautiful Land Of Nod.

I've read a lot of bad books. I used to review books for a living, and when you're a reviewer you read tons of terrible books.

I've never had to talk about my work, nobody's given a damn about it - you know, what I thought. I find that I sort of like that, to get to keep it to myself. It's a bit bizarre.

Compared with the thousands of years in which human life has been on this planet, Christianity is a recent development.

The newspaper fits the reader's program while the listener must fit the broadcaster's program.

Listen to others' advice and deliberate yourself. Only fools acts thoughtlessly, without consideration!
