More quotes by Jesse Ventura

Love is bigger than government.

I think a person who is disabled should be disabled by no act of their own. If you become disabled because of alcoholism, drugs, or things of that nature, I do not think those conditions qualify someone to be called disabled. I think those conditions result from personal decisions.

Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
