boulevard core exists people
I've always said there is a boulevard that exists between compromising your principles and getting everything you want. Now, we should never compromise our principles. And I never have. Those are the things that people vote for you on, that's the core of who you are. But there's always a boulevard between that and getting everything you want.
strong thinking people
I think what the American people want more than anything else is a strong and decisive leader.
believe law people
People have an absolute right to believe what they want to believe and to say what they want to say, and churches have an absolute protection to preach and do and not do whatever they choose to do within their houses of worship. But nondiscrimination laws apply to the commercial marketplace and they do protect all of us.
believe rights people
I believe that American engagement, through our embassy, our businesses, and most of all through our people, is the best way to advance our interests and support for democracy and human rights.
sorry should-have people
When you're exonerated, then the people who wrongly accused you should have the guts to stand up and say, "I'm sorry."
thinking people want
I think people hear the question they want to hear.
mistake lying people
There are times when people that you put in those positions make mistakes, they disappoint you, you lose their - you lose your confidence in them, or they lie to you. And when you find that out, the test of leadership is what do you do.
bullying people personality
It's easy for people to be characterized in public life based upon their personality, and I have a very direct, blunt personality. And I understand why some people would then characterize that, especially people who don't like you, as bullying, but it's not that.
people trying satisfying
I'm not in the business of satisfying everybody. I'm in the business of trying to satisfy the people who elected me governor.
blow people focus
I don't hide my emotions from people. I am not a focus-group tested, blow- dried candidate or governor.
tired people action
The American people are tired. They're tired of the bickering in Washington, D.C., and the lack of action.
america people anxiety
The biggest anxiety is just about America's role in the world. People are feeling very unsafe. They really are. They're just wondering whether, anything can be done to try to stabilize the world a little bit.
people rewards
You have to do more than just talk about work. You have to really reward the people who are out there doing it.
moving thinking people
I think people are listening to our message of securing the homeland first, keeping the American people safe and improving our economic situation. I think those things are being received well, and we're moving forward here.
