More quotes by Jerry Brown

Jerry Brown
As we all learned from the sorry experience of state-sanctioned bureaucracies in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, decentralization in education is crucial to both freedom and excellence.
Jerry Brown
After years of struggle, the U.S. Supreme Court today has made same-sex marriage a reality in California ... I have directed the California Department of Public Health to advise the state's counties that they must begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in California
Jerry Brown
Sometimes the highest form of action is inaction.
Jerry Brown
The war on drugs is really no war at all - it's a business!
Jerry Brown
I reject get-it-done, make-it-happen thinking. I want to slow things down so I understand others better.
Jerry Brown
America will be disadvantaged, just like Detroit was disadvantaged when they couldn't build smaller cars in the '70s or '80s. The world shifts.
Jerry Brown
The big lock-up is about drugs. Here's the real scam. The drug war is one of the games to get more convictions and prisoners.
Jerry Brown
Republican attacks are without basis, but when the Democrats attack me they're usually right.
Jerry Brown
Prisons don't rehabilitate, they don't punish, they don't protect, so what the hell do they do?
Jerry Brown
Inaction may be the biggest form of action.
