A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that's good for America. Nobody's rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don't go away, the creative people don't go away. They get employed more productively by others.

Government has no wealth of its own. Before it gives anything to anyone, it must take from those who produced it.

I'm an American. I'm for prosperity. I've discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government.

Prosperity comes from leaving people free in a legal system that respects their persons and property so they can pursue their dreams while taking responsibility for their actions.

The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.

Asking someone in the media about liberal bias is like asking a fish about water. 'Huh, what are you talking about? Where is it?'

Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.

All our rights are gradually eroded as government gets bigger.

Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.
