People who are in power make their arrangements in secret, largely as a way of maintaining and furthering that power.

There are people who have comfortable relationships with power and people with natural antagonism to power. I think it's easy to guess where I am in that.

Optimistic people play a disproportionate role in shaping our lives. Their decisions make a difference; they are inventors, entrepreneurs, political and military leaders - not average people. They got to where they are by seeking challenges and taking risks.

In a market economy, however, the individual has some possibility of escaping from the power of the state.

I have run across characters in my political career that have that singular focus of being someone, being in a position of power.

What happens when you get any kind of entrenched power is that it just becomes kind of corrupt and self-serving.

Individuals move and shift from one party to another simply on their aspirations for office.

I'm telling you, there is a lot of power in being unapologetic.

People are rapidly losing hope and trust. They believe their government has been captured by special interests and no longer cares about them, and they are right.

Instead of a weak and vacillating Government, a single, purposeful, energetic personality is ruling today.
