More quotes by William Weld
Nobody can tell me that no changes are necessary in Washington.
William Weld
I've been at some pains to say that I fear for the country if Mr.[DonALD] Trump should be elected. I think it's a candidacy without any parallel that I can recall.
William Weld
Donald Trump behaving like a wild man. I mean, I just can`t imagine that people want a human tornado sitting in the oval office.
William Weld
I would just say 2016 is a year when voters have to think for themselves and shouldn`t necessarily take it from the Rs and the Ds in Washington. But you have to vote for me because otherwise the other guy might win. That`s not really very substantive.
William Weld
One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.
William Weld
If we have major geographic areas within our continent that have a tremendous lack of economic opportunity, we found that that is going to produce instability economic, political and social.
William Weld
I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.
William Weld
Managing people's sex lives is something that I don't think is a good role for government.
William Weld
I think the dignity of Congress and the dignity of the country demands something more than merely censure here.
William Weld
Government can contribute to a shared sense of purpose on the part of the citizenry that's its highest and best application.
William Weld
It's not good for government to tell people that the world owes them a living and that things are free.
William Weld
My slogan when I ran was that there is no such thing as government money, there is only taxpayer's money, and that cut pretty deep.
William Weld
We're getting to the point where we're impinging on democratic institutions in this country and I think, you know, it takes a certain - not a suspension of disbelief - but willingness to go along with other people to get the ship of state going forward. I'm not sure that happens in a [Donald] Trump presidency, frankly.
William Weld
We speak for all citizens of the Commonwealth when we say that society can draw great hope for the future because of the example which these young people are giving by their creative and constructive responses to the challenges which confront our communities and dedication to help those most in need.
William Weld
So government acts as a safeguard of our property.
William Weld
Liberals often don't see the problems, and conservatives don't see the promise, of government.
William Weld
Gary Johnson was a strong governor.
William Weld
I`m an old duck hunter. I like to go hunting where the ducks are. We`re looking for votes. I think maybe poaching some of those soft Donald Trump Republican votes would be the place to go.
William Weld
Gary Johnson and I have a good platform of having been fiscally conservative and we`re socially inclusive. And that`s different from both the other parties. The voters have a right to see that choice to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. That doesn`t describe either of the other parties.
William Weld
The courts are truly the least dangerous of the three branches of our government.
William Weld
