More quotes by Dick Cheney
I had other priorities in the sixties than military service.
Dick Cheney
There's every reason to believe there will be further attacks attempted against the United States. For us to spend so much time patting ourselves on the back because we got bin Laden that we miss the next attack would be a terrible tragedy.
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
I wake up every morning literally with a smile on my face, grateful for another day I never thought I would see.
Dick Cheney
Oil remains fundamentally a government business. While many regions of the world offer great oil opportunities, the Middle East with two-thirds of the world's oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize ultimately lies, even though companies are anxious for greater access there, progress continues to be slow.
Dick Cheney
I want to avoid personal attacks, ... I promise not to make fun of your singing.
Dick Cheney

Dick Cheney
Instead, the terrorists see just what they were hoping for, our unity gone, our resolve shaken, our leaders distracted. In short, they see weakness and opportunity.
Dick Cheney
My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly, . . . [in] weeks rather than months.
Dick Cheney
If we have reason to believe someone is preparing an attack against the U.S., has developed that capability, harbours those aspirations, then I think the U.S. is justified in dealing with that, if necessary, by military force.
Dick Cheney
We must be prepared to face our responsibilities and be willing to use force if necessary.
Dick Cheney
It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that. But I think it's a - very special tribute that we all owe to the bravery and courage of the men and women in the intelligence and military business who performed so well to finally get it done.
Dick Cheney
My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.
Dick Cheney
The Senator from Massachusetts has given us ample grounds to doubt the judgment and the attitude he brings to bear on vital issues of national security.
Dick Cheney
I don’t think that [the war in Iraq] damaged our reputation around the world.
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
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
Remember, success for a politician is 50% plus one. You don't have to have everybody on board.
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
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.
