More quotes by Dick Cheney
I think I was able to survive five heart attacks because I never postponed going to the hospital when something didn't feel right.
Dick Cheney
You know, I've got experiences going back to the wage price controls in the Nixon administration where, in effect, we had what I think was a terrible mistake, in that case a Republican administration, where moved in and tried to control the wages, prices and profits of every enterprise in America. It was a huge mistake.
Dick Cheney
The issue is that [Saddam] has chemical weapons.
Dick Cheney
I think we need to significantly reduce the regulatory burden on the private sector. The Obama administration is doing the opposite. They're loading on more and more regulation on the private respect to how the economy functions.
Dick Cheney
Well, we've got a major effort under way to try to educate everybody, to let them know we have a zero tolerance policy where sexual assault is involved.
Dick Cheney
The question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth? And the answer is not very damned many.
Dick Cheney
Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.
Dick Cheney
The Columbia is lost, but the dreams that inspired its crew remain with us.

Like many Americans, I've always been intrigued by Bill Clinton. I obviously didn't always agree with him - enjoyed running against his legacy in 2000, when Al Gore was his designated successor, but I don't have anything negative I would say about Bill Clinton.
Dick Cheney
You can't fall back on the private sector and say, 'You take care of the nation's banking system.' That's a fundamental function of the government, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury and the FDIC, etc. All of those agencies have a major role to play there.
Dick Cheney
I think the decision that's been made with respect to allowing gays to serve openly in the military is a good one.
Dick Cheney
I do find that the mainstream media oftentimes is what I would consider off base or has a bias.
Dick Cheney
I worry very much that we're in a situation now where there doesn't appear to be any limitation whatsoever in terms of the spending commitments that Obama's administration wants to make. Vast expansion in terms of the deficit, but it also says a lot about what they intend for the role of government in the society.
Dick Cheney
My own belief is that the way we grow the economy, create jobs, create wealth is in the private sector. The government doesn't do that.
Dick Cheney
We have great information. They're going to welcome us. It'll be like the American Army going through the streets of Paris. They're sitting there ready to form a new government. The people will be so happy with their freedoms that we'll probably back ourselves out of there within a month or two.
Dick Cheney
Direct threats require decisive action.
Dick Cheney
I'm often asked why I left politics and went to Halliburton and I explain that I reached the point where I was mean-spirited, short-tempered and intolerant of those who disagreed with me and they said 'Hell, you'd make a great CEO', so I went to Texas and joined the private sector.
Dick Cheney
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.
Dick Cheney
Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy.
Dick Cheney
I can think of a lot of words to describe Senator Kerry's position on Iraq consistent is not one of them.
