I've always suggested if you can't stand the sight of your own blood, don't run for office.

If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.

Government has no place telling you who to fall in love with and who to marry.

I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.

No person who denies the existence of a supreme being shall hold any office under this Constitution.

I don't see myself in any way in elective office.

I'm not going to run for political office.

There is absolutely no way that I would enter that world. I would never run for office.

Office holders are a self-selected group; you don't get elected if you don't put your name on the ballot. There are many people who would do a great job, but who would never think to run. Find them. Badger them. Get them elected. They might not thank you for it, but a lot of other people will.

Government shouldn't tell you whom to marry.
