Being the Republican front-runner was three of the most exciting hours of my entire life. I've come to grips with it, and the only lasting effect is that I refuse to go on a stage that has more than one podium on it.

More quotes by Rick Perry
We can't have deficit spending in Texas. You have to balance your budget every two years.
Rick Perry
President Obama's call for nearly a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus when America has more than $14 trillion in debt is guided by his mistaken belief that we can spend our way to prosperity.
Rick Perry
We're at the end of an era of failed leadership. We have been led by a divider [Barack Obama] who has sliced and diced the electorate, pitting American against American for political purposes.
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
It is time to change our policy of appeasement toward the Palestinians, to strengthen our ties with the nation of Israel.
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
From time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented.
Rick Perry
I don't want to look like Connecticut, no offense, I don't want to look like Oklahoma, I don't want to look like California. I want to be uniquely Texas. And that's not to diss anybody else.
Rick Perry
I know for a fact that Ted Cruz every day uses two checklists - to guide him through his personal and professional life - and that is the Bible and the U.S. Constitution.
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
When it comes to conservative social issues, it saddens me when sometimes my fellow Republicans duck and cover in the face of pressure from the left. Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let's quit trying to curry favor with them.
Rick Perry
I happily cling to my guns and my God, even if President Obama thinks that that is a simpleminded thing in his elitist heart.
Rick Perry
I am going to give the American people a huge helping of unbridled truth: that we can't continue to spend what we are spending, that we can't avoid entitlement reform because we are afraid of third rail politics.
Rick Perry
I stand before you today as a disciplined conservative Texan, a committed Republican and a proud American, united with you to restoring our nation and revive the American dream.
Rick Perry
Obamacare has got everyone on edge. I mean, small business - men and women or big business are sitting out there saying we have no idea what this is going to cost, but we know it's going to cost us and cost us a lot.
Rick Perry
The economy is very different in the world that we're living in. And I think Americans are looking for executive leadership that actually has some experience of creating jobs.
Rick Perry
We cannot afford four more years of this misguided socialist policies from President Obama and his administration.
Rick Perry
This administration in Washington that's in power now clearly believes that government is not only the answer to every need, but it's the most qualified to make the most central decisions for every American in every area.
Rick Perry
I am also the product of a place called Paint Creek. Doesn't have a zip code. It's too small to be called a town along the rolling plains of Texas. We grew dryland cotton and wheat, and when I wasn't farming or attending Paint Creek Rural School, I was generally over at Troop 48 working on my Eagle Scout award.
Rick Perry
If you rent a U-Haul to move your company, it costs twice as much to go from San Francisco to Austin than the other way around, because you can't find enough trucks to leave the Golden State.
