We need to remember that politics is all about people, not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena.

More quotes by J. C. Watts
Some might think that George W. Bush had his shortcomings, but let me tell you something - history's going to be kind to George W. Bush.
J. C. Watts
It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.
J. C. Watts
Governor is not the position to have in Oklahoma. It is the head coach of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State or Tulsa.
J. C. Watts
When it comes to the American dream, no one has a corner on the market. All of us have an equal chance to share in that dream.
J. C. Watts
The past two decades revolutionized the way we access information. You and I can have our questions answered with the click of a mouse at any time of day. If America, both corporation and citizen alike, can use these services to solve problems, why can't Washington?
J. C. Watts
There is a direct correlation between education, stable families and incarceration and crime.
J. C. Watts
I'm secure in who I am. I don't need the validation of those that would say, you have to be a certain thing in order to be accepted. I'm comfortable going against the grain if I need to.
J. C. Watts
The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.
J. C. Watts
You saw the exodus of many people on the business council, who resigned, who said those are not my personal values, those are not our corporate values, and those - we don't believe - are the values of our country.
J. C. Watts
I embrace my blackness, just as I do my conservatism and my Christianity, but I don't want to be defined or pigeonholed by any one of the many elements that make up my character.
J. C. Watts
I am willing to compete on my merits and on my character - not with the color of my skin. We talk about being a color-blind society, but I don't think the political process could actually handle that.
J. C. Watts
I was taught to respect everyone for the simple reason that we're all God's children. I was taught, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.... to judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. And I was taught that character...is simply doing what's right when nobody's looking.
J. C. Watts
I think that anybody that stays in school, gets good grades, pays the price, I think we are wealthy enough in the public and the private sector in America to make sure that every child in America that wants to continue their education, they should be able to do that.
J. C. Watts
A Black man voting for the Republicans makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.
J. C. Watts
I believe government should be loyal to parents, teachers and children.
J. C. Watts
I think Newt Gingrich has a proven track record of changing Washington and getting results.
J. C. Watts
My work in the House of Representatives, at this time in my life, is completed. It is time to return home.
J. C. Watts
Reparations, I believe, are talked about for political reasons, trying to cater for the purpose of getting votes. If Congress was serious about reparations - in '93 and '94 the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the White House, and not one single Republican vote was needed for reparations.

I still get to preach 14, 15 times a year. But you have to make a living.

There can't be opportunity or jobs without investment and profit.
