More quotes by Jack Kemp
I can't understand why the Democratic parties seem so hostile to economic growth and business.
Jack Kemp

Jack Kemp
The only law we broke was the Brezhnev doctrine that once a country is in the Soviet bloc it cannot be overthrown.
Jack Kemp

Jack Kemp

Jack Kemp
The only thing I can do is tell the truth as I see it and let the chips fall where they may.

Jack Kemp
Winning is like shaving - you do it every day or you wind up looking like a bum.
Jack Kemp
In America, we tax work, investment, employment, savings, and production, while we subsidize non-work, consumption, and debt. It's time we reverse this trend.
Jack Kemp
You cannot create employees without first creating employers.
Jack Kemp
Ladies and gentlemen, communism didn't fall. It was pushed.
Jack Kemp
There are a lot of grotesqueries in politics, not the least of which is the fund-raising side.
Jack Kemp
The leaders of the Democratic Party aren't soft on Communism. They're soft on Democracy.
Jack Kemp
I've been a kind of a wildcatter. I've been able to say anything I wanted.
Jack Kemp
I played football.. my football was kosher.. no pigskin.
Jack Kemp
Democracy without morality is impossible.
Jack Kemp
I think it is important for all those young out there - who someday hope to play real football, where you throw it and kick it and run with it and put it in your hands - [that] a distinction should be made that football is democratic capitalism, whereas soccer is a European socialist sport.
