See, when I smoked pot it was illegal, but not immoral. Now, it is illegal AND immoral. The law didn't change, only the morality… That's why you get to go to jail and I don't.

More quotes by Newt Gingrich
If you go to the Lincoln Memorial, the Second Inaugural is probably the most religious speech ever given by an American President. In its 732 words, it references God 14 times and has two verses of the Bible.
Newt Gingrich
President Obama is a president so weak that he makes Jimmy Carter look strong.
Newt Gingrich
Hillary Clinton is lying again and again.
Newt Gingrich
Without Jimmy Carter we might not have gotten Ronald Reagan, without Ronald Reagan there would probably still be a Soviet Union.
Newt Gingrich
Every president developed his own style. You know that we don't recruit them to a certain standard.
Newt Gingrich
Leadership matters and solving things before a crisis is important.
Newt Gingrich
Donald Trump is not an immigrant basher. His mother was a legal immigrant. His wife is a legal immigrant. He employs legal immigrants. He just likes his immigrants to be legal.
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
We are going to have the candidate of food stamps, the finest food-stamp president in the American history, in Barack Obama, and we are going to have a candidate of paychecks.
Newt Gingrich
The sacrament of marriage is based on a man and woman.
Newt Gingrich
All unemployment compensation should be tied to a job training requirement. Now the fact is, 99 weeks is an associate degree.
Newt Gingrich
I do not believe that the people of the United States are going to take people who have been here a quarter century, who have children and grandchildren, who are members of the community, who may have done something 25 years ago, separate them from their families, and expel them.
Newt Gingrich
If the Soviet empire still existed, I'd be terrified. The fact is, we can afford a fairly ignorant presidency now.
Newt Gingrich
I have six times as many Twitter followers as all the other candidates combined, but it didn't count because if it counted I'd still be a candidate since I can't be a candidate that can't count.
Newt Gingrich
We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it.
Newt Gingrich
The Republican brand has been so badly damaged that if Republicans try to run an anti-Obama, anti-Rev. Wright or, if Sen. Clinton wins, anti-Clinton campaign, they are simply going to fail. This model has already been tested with disastrous results.
Newt Gingrich
You can't flip-flop and be commander-in-chief.
Newt Gingrich
The mother killing her two children in South Carolina vividly reminds every American how sick the society is getting and how much we have to have change. I think people want to change and the only way you get change is to vote Republican.
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
Government should take management lesson from private sector.
