Bob Dole

I just consider myself a Republican, none of this hyphenated stuff. I was a mainstream conservative Republican, and most people are in that category.

I really thought, with my background growing up, and my service, and all that, I thought it would be enough for the presidency. But... It sure was enough when I ran for Congress.

I will seek the presidency with nothing to fall back on but the judgment of the people of the United States, and nowhere to go but the White House or home.

I've thought about it, not a lot, but I thought my relationship with Congress - the Democrats and Republicans - would help me get some things done. Not everything, but at least they'd be willing to try.

I don't know how many people run for vice president and president and lose both.

President Obama came to visit me in the hospital. He said, 'I wish you were still in the Senate; I need your help.' I'm not certain I can help on everything. Maybe some things.

I've never known a lot of rich people. It's not my bag.

Things are going to get better. Be optimistic.

I'm not a Gingrich fan. He's just difficult to work with. It's either Newt's way or the highway.

Think I'll win. Could be big.

You know, a better man for a better America. That's sort of our slogan.

At least she's the president of something, which is more than I can say.

Something is wrong with America. I wonder sometimes what people are thinking about or if they're thinking at all.

We're trying to get good pictures. Don't worry very much about what I say.

It's going to be hard for someone like me to run for president.

Life is very important to Americans.

Elizabeth's back at the red cross, and I'm walking the dog.

Those who cultivate moral confusion for profit should understand this: we will name their names and shame them as they deserve to be shamed.

We'll all be riding that streetcar of desire.

Our intent will not be to create gridlock. Oh, except maybe from time to time.
