Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.

Man is not free unless government is limited.

The most important thing I learned in life is that power is fleeting; principles are eternal.

I hope we've once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.

If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted; it belongs to the brave.

The future belongs to the free.

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

It's not that we're smarter than everybody else. It's just that we're from California, and we know how to party.

I'm not a great man. I'm just a man who's been given a great opportunity.

They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong.

I have only two regrets: that I was never a Marine, and that I never got to play for the Chicago Cubs.

I'm not going to pick on the Democrats. They're doing a good enough job on themselves.

Trees are a wonderful thing, so are forests. They're good for the environment.
