More quotes by 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
It's not good for government to tell people that the world owes them a living and that things are free.
William Weld
Gary Johnson was a strong governor.
William Weld
Before my tenure, people didn't seem to think that citizens had a right to limit the size of their government.
William Weld
[Donald Trump] would be chaos for the country, I think.
William Weld
People aren't stupid. I mean, people remember in 1990, the unemployment rate was 10 percent. Now it's 4 _ percent. We've got 1/4 million jobs that we've created.
William Weld
We need a complete ban on soft money, which is sort of an enveloping problem, and a ceiling on the amount of money that can be spent on a given race.
William Weld
I think Gary Johnson was probably expressing frustration at a series of pop quizzes. He actually was more authoritative on what to do in Syria before the Aleppo moment than any of the other candidates. And I think he called it about right. There is too many different rebel groups there. And it`s a terribly confused situation.
William Weld
[Donald Trump] just would not be in his element and I think he would wobble off course and I think the country just can't have that.
William Weld
I think transportation and corrections are not the first two areas that I would go looking for massive change.
William Weld
The unemployment rate is still twice as high for blacks as for whites.
William Weld
The best preparation for work is not thinking about work, talking about work, or studying for work: it is work.
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
I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.
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
You know in fairness Gary [Johnson] and I have not agreed on a number of substantive issues in this campaign, tax policy, we've had some influence on each other, I think I've had some influence on him, on constructive engagement around the world, he's had some influence on me in criminal justice reform issues.
William Weld
Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them they don't have an incentive to.
William Weld
I think the dignity of Congress and the dignity of the country demands something more than merely censure here.
William Weld
I dare say that a majority of the American people think that having a fair hearing on an issue of importance in our relations with Mexico is extremely important to our national interest, as well as theirs.
William Weld
I suggest to you that increasing the size of America's economic pie - which can be achieved only if everybody has a seat at the table - is the most important challenge facing our country today.
