Jack Kemp
There is a kind of victory in good work, no matter how humble.
Jack Kemp

Jack Kemp
Democracy without morality is impossible.
Jack Kemp
The Soviet Union represents a threat in terms of might. It is a joke in terms of its economy and what it has to offer the Third World - a laughingstock to countries that are looking for an economic-development model.
Jack Kemp
... giving tax incentives for more labor ownership of company stock will do more to create jobs and increase productivity than all the emergency full employment bills proposed.
Jack Kemp
Some people have theorized that I lurched to prove myself intellectually. But it was not any lurch. It was more a kind of awakening.
