Business“People should be free, people should be unencumbered by regulation as much as possible, that big government always goes corrupt and the truth shall always set you free.”
Government“I'm the whitest guy you will ever meet. The first time I saw an African-American, my dad had to tell me to stop staring.”
Dad“We should reject big government and look inside ourselves for all the things that built this country into what it was.”
Government“You can get rich making fun of me. I know. I've made lots of money making fun of me.”
Money“I'm a dad, and I no longer see a way for my kids to even inherit the money that I'm making, let alone go out there, have an idea, and create it in their own lifetime.”
Alone“Let me go over this again on the reclaiming the civil rights movement. People of faith that believe that you have an equal right to justice - that is the essence. And if it's not the essence, then we've been sold a pack of lies. The essence is everyone deserves a shot - the content of character, not the color of skin.”
Faith“The message that I gave on the - on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don't believe that you can't do it. Everybody wants - everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that, it becomes politics. I'm not talking politics.”

Politics“Music is the language of the heart, and conservatives always screw it up.”
Music“I have found there are four steps to change. 1. You must want it. 2. You must believe it. 3. You must live it. 4. You will become it.”
Change“Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There's no understanding of it.”
Failure“Please stop teaching my children that everyone gets a trophy just for participating. What is this, the Nobel Prize? Not everybody gets a trophy.”
Teacher“Not a single time have we gotten a right from Congress or from the President. We get them from God.”
God“Every time the government grows we lose more of who we are.”
Government“When you live in an alcoholic family or an abusive family, you tiptoe, you don't want to step on any mines.”
Family“We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about freedom. Freedom to be stupid, freedom to fail, freedom to succeed.”
Freedom“Remember, beneath every cynic there lies a romantic, and probably an injured one.”
