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
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
I don't want to be the president of the United States. I do want to work with the governors across the country to make the states more pivotal, more powerful, as they should be.
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
My deal is have a flat, simple tax. And - Americans want - Americans I hope - aspire to be - be wealthy. I hope they aspire to have a better quality of life. And we have this class warfare that's going on now. And I don't agree with that. I'm interested in people getting to work.
Rick Perry
I disagree with the concept that somehow or another we're going to pack up 10, to 12, to 15 million people and ship them back to the country of origin. That's not going to happen.
Rick Perry
That the Texas Legislature, that the Texas school boards, the Texas teachers, we collectively know best how to educate our children, rather than some bureaucrat in Washington.
Rick Perry
I come by my conservatism authentically, not by convenience. And I offer the American people a new direction.
Rick Perry
My quarrel is not with the legitimate role of government but with the unlimited role of government.
Rick Perry
Audie Murphy remains a shining example for anyone who believes in the importance of service, for generations now and into the future.
Rick Perry
If and when we get back to that solid, biblically and constitutionally based foundation in this country, America will be great - and America will be great again because we give people freedom, we dissolve power out of Washington.
Rick Perry
It takes balls to execute an innocent man.
Rick Perry
When a criminal breaks into your home I'll let the liberals call the lawyer. I'm going to call Smith & Wesson.
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.
Rick Perry
The idea that you're going have zero people crossing the border is unrealistic. But today we know that's not the case. Today we know we've got a porous border and people are coming in, and we don't know who they are. So secure the border then we can have a conversation about it.
Rick Perry
In Michigan, a liberal democrat raised taxes and kept their government programs at the same level. And guess what? Their economy continued into the toilet, it continued down.
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
I'm not ashamed to be a Christian. But you don't have to be in the pew every Sunday to know that there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.
Rick Perry
My hope is that that person will come forward that can win the presidency that we can all get behind.
Rick Perry
George W. Bush did an incredible job in the presidency, defending us from freedom.
