Things move very slowly in politics. We seem to fight the same wars over and over again.

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.

Talk radio has made an enormous run around establishment media. But the Interne is making an end run around talk radio. Suddenly we're faced with an information age.

If you're going to try to win an election, you can't be 80 percent. You can't say, I'm for what my Democratic opponent is, for but not quite so much of it.

Newt Gingrich's job to capture the Congress was to give Republican candidates an edge and a distinction from their Democratic opponent. That required a very high profile, some very strong language.

One of the tragedies of the Bush administration is that we went back to business as usual, make a deal with the Democrats, lets all be friends in Washington philosophy.

Every day, live in a way that honors who you are.

Seek grace and manna daily.

Man was an accident on this world or it would have been made better for him!

Always be sincere, whether you mean it or not.

I've never doubted my ability.

Better to be an optimist who gets disappointed than a pessimist who has no hope.

People say I'm a nice girl saying terrible things. I tend to say the opposite of what I think. You hope that the absolute power of that transcends, and reaches the audience.

To create a new standard, you have to be up for that challenge and really enjoy it.

Every American election summons the individual voter to weigh the past against the future.

The real giants have always been poets, men who jumped from facts into the realm of imagination and ideas.
