 Anyone who thinks they have a monopoly on truth, and there is only one way to see the world, always gets us into trouble. |
| You do have to change things as warfare changes. |
| I think teaching should be an exalted profession, not a picked-on profession. |
| Well, I think it's too early to call Fallujah a failure. |
| I believe the war on terror is the vital discussion of this decade and of our generation, probably. To win the war on terror, you need a good offense and a good defense. On defense, I regret to say, basically, this administration has not come close to doing what is necessary. |
| I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it. |
| I'd like to see the health care professionals making decisions, not some bureaucrat in Indianapolis working for an insurance company. |
| A devastating commentary on the war in Iraq is that we have been unable to spend money on infrastructure. |
| Let me say this, to all of the chattering class that so much focuses on those little tiny, yes, porky amendments - the American people really don't care. |
| Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, whether you are a liberal or a conservative, we know that neither this President nor prior Presidents of both parties did everything right or we would not have had a 9/11. |

| I'm totally opposed to vouchers. I will fight them tooth and nail. |
| So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's a better education overall. |
| But these days there are a lot of younger people who would like to go into teaching but don't because the economic opportunities are sometimes elsewhere. |
| You can set up whatever negotiations or structure you want, but until the Palestinians are willing to accept the fact, as the majority of Israelis do, that there should be two states between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, we won't have peace. |
| In a brave new world, a post-September 11 world, anyone is going to make certain mistakes. The mistakes that have been made on homeland security, on protecting our Nation from another terrorist attack, are mistakes of omission. We are simply not doing enough. |
| I went to the public schools myself. And they were great for me. |
| Arafat was a barrier to peace. |
| We tend to talk, Democrats, as a party, in legislative terms. |
| Well, the tough thing for them is that the Republican primary is pretty far over to the right, just as the Democratic primary is further over to the left than the average voter in each party. |
