I think the film [Dream of Life] is life-affirming.
My ideal citizen is the self-employed, homeschooling, IRA-owning guy with a concealed-carry permit. Because that person doesn't need the goddamn government for anything.
We don't need someone who can think. We need someone with enough digits to hold a pen.
All we have to do is replace Obama. . . . We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. . . . We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.
I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.

My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.
Leaders are those who empower others.
Never underestimate the importance of having fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day because there's no other way to play it.

I think the leadership of a company should encourage the next generation not just to follow, but to overtake.
