The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.

I don't sign every check anymore, but I have my checks, my balances. I like the people I work with very much, but I check on them.

When I pick my subcommittee chairmen, I look for people that understand what it's like to run successful businesses, who know what it's like to sign the front of the check instead of the back of the check: somebody that gets it.

The president, it seems to me, stands out as the one person in our system who is in a unique position where the checks on any lack of integrity there are more important than for anyone else in the system of government.

I've learned from doing my own show with Fox that people are not your partners if they're signing the checks. Whoever signs your paycheck is the boss - no matter what they tell you.

I'm not the hands-on guy. I like writing the check, and I turn it over to the guys that make it happen, much like the way I ran my business.

Every person has a signature. Just some people don't know it yet.

I'm against a signature look, as that can be very outdating. But having said that, I also know my best qualities, so I'm not going to foolhardily give away my power.

A whole people with the ballot in their hands possess the most conclusive and unlimited power ever entrusted to humanity.

The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.
