More quotes by 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.
William Weld
We thought for the longest time we might have a chance to run the table because we're such nice guys and centrist party, etcetera, but not getting into the debates really sort of foreclosed that option.
William Weld
I think coercive taxation is theft, and government has a moral duty to keep it to a minimum.
William Weld
The unemployment rate is still twice as high for blacks as for whites.
William Weld
Much is forgiven anyone who relieves the desperate boredom of the working press.
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
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 think in the real world that's probably correct. That would give federal matching funds. It would mean no more ballot access woes.
William Weld
I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.
William Weld
I think transportation and corrections are not the first two areas that I would go looking for massive change.
William Weld
There's no Walter Cronkite to give you the final word each evening.
William Weld
I think Hillary Clinton deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the Democratic National Committee.
William Weld
The system that had grown up in most states is that wealthy districts with an affluent population can afford to spend a lot more on their public school systems than the poorer districts.
William Weld
[Donald Trump] doesn't deal well with criticism and blame and I don't think he could competently manage the office of the presidency given the criticism and challenge that you face every single day as the President of the United States.
William Weld
I mean that psychologically. I think [Donald Trump] showed in the debates when he encounters criticism or challenge he behaves the way a bully would. He just doesn't take it well.
William Weld
The best preparation for work is not thinking about work, talking about work, or studying for work: it is work.
William Weld
I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness.
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
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
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
