More quotes by Mitch Daniels
My record is, far as I know, unimpeachable.
Mitch Daniels
Our fiscal ruin and resulting loss of world leadership will, in their [liberals'] eyes, be not a tragic event but a desirable one.
Mitch Daniels
We do not accept that ours will ever be a nation of haves and have-nots. We must always be a nation of haves and soon-to-haves.
Mitch Daniels
Our educational results lag behind other states, and other nations, but worse still, behind the potential of the kids and the devoted teachers in our classrooms.
Mitch Daniels
I believe that the Right to Work issue is a perfectly appropriate one for Indiana to look at.
Mitch Daniels
No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others.
Mitch Daniels
Among the weeds choking out growth and good government are the hundreds of boards, commissions, and advisory committees that have sprouted over the years. They devour time, money, and energy far beyond any real contribution they make.

And before our current legislature adjourns, we intend to become the first state of full and true choice by saying to every low and middle-income Hoosier family, if you think a non-government school is the right one for your child, you're as entitled to that option as any wealthy family here's a voucher, go sign up.

Our morbidly obese federal government needs not just behavior modification but bariatric surgery.
Mitch Daniels
All great enterprises have a pearl of faith at their core, and this must be ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That, addressed as free-born, autonomous men and women of God-given dignity, they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy.
Mitch Daniels
Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some.
Mitch Daniels
[Obama's reelection] would subject the country to what might be a fatal last dose of statism.
Mitch Daniels
If freedom's best friends cannot unify around a realistic, actionable program of fundamental change, one that attracts and persuades a broad majority of our fellow citizens, big change will not come
Mitch Daniels
We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them, though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness, while cutting rather than raising taxes, by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in.
Mitch Daniels
Every successful enterprise has a very clear strategic purpose.
Mitch Daniels
We believe it wrong ever to take a dollar from a free citizen without a very necessary public purpose, because each such taking diminishes the freedom to spend that dollar as its owner would prefer.
Mitch Daniels
I certainly believe in limited government but protecting children against injury abuse is certainly inside my sphere of things that the government should do.
Mitch Daniels
If we don't believe in Americans, who will? I do believe. I've seen it in the people of our very typical corner of the nation.
Mitch Daniels
We are taking challenges and turning them into opportunities by developing homegrown, local energy production to become independent from foreign sources.
Mitch Daniels
I took a vow of political celibacy.
