Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility.

More quotes by Rick Perry
We find ourselves in what I consider to be the most challenging, difficult, threatening time since World War II because of this War on Terror.
Rick Perry
[Under Obama,] our federal tax dollars can now be used to fund abortion all over the world. With the stroke of a pen, abortion essentially became a U.S. foreign export.
Rick Perry
Although Mr. Trump talks an interesting and entertaining game, rarely do I hear him lay out specifics.
Rick Perry
The great lesson of history for us is that strength and resolve bring peace and order, and weakness and vacillation invite chaos and conflict.
Rick Perry
In the rush to become all things to all people, the federal government has lost sight of its core responsibilities. As a result we're stuck in this frustrating paradox where Washington actually neglects things it's clearly supposed to be doing, while interfering in other areas where they are neither welcome nor authorized.
Rick Perry
I'll work every day to try to make Washington, D.C., as inconsequential in your life as I can.
Rick Perry
The citizens of America and the citizens of Texas expect to be able to live in safety in their communities. That's what the rule of law is truly all about.
Rick Perry
I grew up in a house with no running water, 16 miles from the closest place that had a post office. I had a very parochial view of the world.
Rick Perry
What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work, and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life.
Rick Perry
Those of you that will be 21 by November the 12th, I ask for your support and your vote.
Rick Perry
I don't think Obama understands basic economics. Not economics that work. He may understand some theory that someone in Princeton sat and dreamed up, but it's not working.
Rick Perry
Juarez is reported to be the most dangerous city in America.
Rick Perry
Donald Trump is not softening his position on immigration.
Rick Perry
I think every program needs to stand the sunshine of righteous scrutiny. Whether it's Social Security, whether it's Medicaid, whether it's Medicare.
Rick Perry
It's time to bring tough medicine to Washington. No longer will policy be set by K Street, it will be dictated by Main Street.
Rick Perry
You know, to preserve our job-friendly climate the Texas legislature didn't raise taxes this last legislative session while balancing their budget and maintaining their reserves - and might I add that our budget leaves $6 billion dollars in a rainy day fund?
Rick Perry
It's a Tenth Amendment issue. If you want Washington, if you want to implement their standards, that's your call... We certainly had higher standards than Common Core, so it was a very easy decision for Texans, myself and the legislature included, to basically say we still believe that Texans know how to best run Texas.
Rick Perry
I think you need to have a tax system that basically is flat, fair and simple. And - that you can put on a post card. I mean, even Timothy Geithner could do this one and get it on time.
Rick Perry
I'm worried about that man or woman sitting around - the coffee table tonight or in their kitchen talking about how are we going to get to work. How are we going to have the dignity to take care of our family.
Rick Perry
I would do away with Education, Commerce, and let's see - the third one I can't. I can't. Oops.
Rick Perry
