Under our [constitutional system] - either we're going to have to rethink our Constitution, or we're going to have to rethink our process of decision-making.
Newt Gingrich
We've had an invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs, and were historically part of the Arab community. And they had a chance to go many places. And for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel now since the 1940's, and I think it's tragic.
Newt Gingrich
It may just be because I get homesick, but I have concluded Washington's cherry blossoms are just plain overrated.
Newt Gingrich
I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there's a package there that's very, very good.
Newt Gingrich
Stop costly new regulations that would increase unemployment, raise consumer prices, and weaken the nation's global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures.
Newt Gingrich
Liberals exploit weakness conservatives offer strength.
Newt Gingrich
The national media are doing everything they can to suppress bad news about Hillary Clinton and everything they can to maximize bad news about Donald Trump.
Newt Gingrich
The Washington bureaucracy is too arrogant and imperial.
Newt Gingrich
I will continue to find ways to help poor people find a job, get a job, and learn someday to own the job.
Newt Gingrich
I think that we've had an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs and who were historically part of the Arab community.
Newt Gingrich
We have to rethink, how do we get a complete 360-degree understanding of the patient?
Newt Gingrich
That will change over time the entire flow of information and the entire quality of knowledge in the country and it will change the way people will try to play games in the legislative process.
Newt Gingrich
What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]? That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.
Newt Gingrich
The Constitution gives the president of the United States an extraordinarily wide grant of authority to use the power of the pardon.
Newt Gingrich
Lions cannot afford to hunt mice because they literally will starve to death, even if they catch them. Lions and all large carnivores have to hunt game large enough to justify the investment, so they have to hunt antelope and zebra. Why is this important? Because most senior executives are really big on chipmunks.
Newt Gingrich
There's a Big Trump and there's a Little Trump.
Newt Gingrich
It is false to suggest that Thomas Jefferson or any other Founding Father believed in a legal barrier to God in the public square.
Newt Gingrich
You know, you try to move the Brussels bureaucracy, and unless you have some capacity to really break it, you can't move it. It just sits there and stares at you.
Newt Gingrich
We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility.
Newt Gingrich
Change is healthy and useful. It has to be fought for most of the time. It's not inevitable. It takes real leadership and real effort. But I think it's really important not to take yourself too seriously. Dwight Eisenhower used to have a rule that you should always take your job seriously but not yourself.
Newt Gingrich
