More quotes by Jesse Ventura
You need to hunt something that can shoot back at you to really classify yourself as a hunter. You need to understand the feeling of what it's like to go into the field and know your opposition can take you out.
Jesse Ventura
I want to try to become friends with Russia.
Jesse Ventura
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.
Jesse Ventura
What do we have for veterans? Government-run health care. I understand that. Congressmen and senators... they get five choices of government-run health care. Why should a congressman and senator get anything more than a regular citizen does? Why are they privileged and the rest of us aren't?
Jesse Ventura
If I were an innocent individual, flown to a foreign country and held for several years and tortured, I'd become a terrorist, too. I'd go to war against the U.S.
Jesse Ventura
There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag.
Jesse Ventura
In a free society, how can you commit a crime against yourself?
Jesse Ventura
If you're patriotic, stand up for the Bill of Rights because once they strip your rights from you, you will pay hell to get them back. You will and we're in the process of it right now.
Jesse Ventura
I will criticize President Obama on this level: it's a good thing I'm not president because I would prosecute every person that was involved in that torture. I would prosecute the people that did it. I would prosecute the people that ordered it. Because torture is against the law.
Jesse Ventura
The pleasure was all yours.
Jesse Ventura
Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.
Jesse Ventura
Anyone can run for office. When I ran for Governor of Minnesota, the only requirement was that you had to be a state resident. I believe you had to be over thirty five years old, something like that. That's the way our country was founded. That anyone can run for office. That you're not required to be a lawyer, you're not required to be anything.
Jesse Ventura
It seems that elections today are more popularity than they are substantial issues.
Jesse Ventura
You can't legislate morality.
Jesse Ventura
There's no question that we need tougher drunk-driving laws for repeat offenders. We need to take a lesson from European countries where driving isn't a right but a privilege.
Jesse Ventura
Listening is as important as talking. If you're a good listener, people often compliment you for being a good conversationalist.
Jesse Ventura
I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.
Jesse Ventura
I'm the only person in the world that, when he holds down two jobs, gets criticized for it everyone else gets a pat on the back and say, 'What an entrepreneuring, hardworking person,' but apparently that doesn't apply to me.
Jesse Ventura
They look like to carp going after the same piece of corn.
Jesse Ventura
Health insurance should be a given for every citizen.
