More quotes by Carly Fiorina
I come from a world where accountability and accomplishments matter, and where titles and rhetoric take a back seat to results.
Carly Fiorina
Californians are worried about whether they will have a job along with ballooning federal spending and deficits.
Carly Fiorina
The state is facing a unique and extraordinary set of challenges and opportunities that demand the involvement of all of us to address them. It's time for everyone to pull together to improve California's competitiveness.
Carly Fiorina
When you lead change, sometimes you get arrows in your back. I mean, that's just the way the real world is.
Carly Fiorina
I have advocated for rolling back regulations, simplifying the tax code and moving to zero-based budgeting - policies that will support small businesses and raise up the middle class.
Carly Fiorina
We will never meet our own expectations of public education unless the federal government is willing to play a consistent, long-term role unless education truly becomes a matter of national policy, not just a matter of national rhetoric.
Carly Fiorina
Socialism starts when government creates a problem, and then government steps in to solve the problem.
Carly Fiorina
You don't create jobs by passing bills, you create jobs by cutting taxes.
Carly Fiorina
A boardroom is a collection of individuals, and individuals have varying motives, egos, agendas and qualifications. Sometimes the dynamics can go off track.
Carly Fiorina
I do not support citizenship for those already here illegally. Those who cut the line and broke our laws as their first act entering this country have foregone that opportunity.
Carly Fiorina
To build a great company, which is a CEO's job, sometimes you have to stand up against conventional wisdom.
Carly Fiorina
Had anyone told me that I was going to have a career in business, I would have said, 'No way.'
Carly Fiorina
We must work with the Australians, the South Koreans, the Japanese and the Filipinos to contain China. And then we must ask for their support and their help with North Korea. Because believe it or not, China is as concerned about Kim Jong-Un as we are.
Carly Fiorina
National security is a place where the private sector could be helpful because the government is woefully behind the technology curve. But secondly, the bureaucratic processes that have been in place since 9/11 are woefully inadequate as well.
Carly Fiorina
Donald Trump can't beat Hillary Clinton, I think it's very clear, and she doesn't want to run against me, because I can beat her, because I will fight her and force her to fight on ground that she will lose on.
Carly Fiorina
Quitting law school was the most difficult decision of my life. But I felt this great relief that this is my life and I can do what I want with it.
Carly Fiorina
People who have been in and around government and politics for their entire lives may no longer be able to see the truth. Our government must be fundamentally reformed. The system has to be changed. Our politics can no longer tinker on the edges.
Carly Fiorina
I grew up a faithful person. I never lost faith. I prayed every day all throughout my life. But at some point in life, my faith became fairly abstract. And I lost this belief that we have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Carly Fiorina
We have a lot of argument about laws but none of it solves the problem. Let's examine what happened, why did we miss the Tsarnaev brothers, why did we miss the San Bernardino couple? It wasn't because we had stopped collected metadata it was because, I think, as someone who comes from the technology world, we were using the wrong algorithms.
Carly Fiorina
Challenge the mind and capture the heart.
