More quotes by Jesse Ventura
I love my country, not my government.
Jesse Ventura
You can't legislate morality.
Jesse Ventura
Personally as a rider, I find the helmet distracts me. I can't hear as well and I can't see as well. I also believe loud pipes save lives and my pipes straight through with no baffles in them.
Jesse Ventura
Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud.
Jesse Ventura
As governor, there isn't a lot I can do beyond that to crack down on crime. Law enforcement is really a local issue. It's the cops' job to tighten down on criminals.
Jesse Ventura
Students often approached me about state-paid tuition while I was out campaigning. After I explained to them that if the state pays their tuition now, they will pay higher taxes to pay other people's tuition for the rest of their lives, most of them ended up agreeing with me.
Jesse Ventura
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
Jesse Ventura
I don't oppose hunting in any way, shape or form. If that's what you enjoy doing, you are free to do it.
Jesse Ventura
The thing is, and Americans are starting to realize this now, that while street gangs are violent, the Democrats and Republicans are worse. They are worse because their decisions affect your life.
Jesse Ventura
You can grow marijuana, so the government can't tax you and they don't like that, that's why they prohibit it.
Jesse Ventura
Liberty is security. Freedom is security.
Jesse Ventura
Whenever the government says, 'It's time to move on,' that means there's something they don't want you to know about.
Jesse Ventura
If you were to come to Minnesota, I could have you locked up like that. That's power.
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
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
'The Young and the Restless' is my favorite television show.
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 don't believe we need the government's help as much as some think we do. That belief sets me apart from the Democrats, since their way of dealing with everything is to tax and spend.
Jesse Ventura
I think that Minnesota is different because we are proving that tri-partisan government could work, that you do not need to necessarily be a Democrat or a Republican to be successful at governing.
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.
