I would have been glad to have lived under my wood side, and to have kept a flock of sheep, rather than to have undertaken this government.

If I had been under ObamaCare, and a beaurocrat had been trying to tell me when I could get that CT scan, that would have delayed my treatment. I was able to get the treatment as fast as I could based upon my timetable, and not the government's timetable. That's what saved my life.

I am often asked if, when I was secretary, I had problems with foreign men. That is not who I had problems with, because I arrived in a very large plane that said United States of America. I had more problems with the men in our own government.

I wasn't a normal professor. I had worked in government. I hadn't written nine zillion books. I was a hands-on professor.

The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.
