Go to Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, or any college and you'll see libraries, dormitories, and a lot of buildings that were a result of the generosity of fat cats.
The collusion of big business, big labor, and big government threaten the spirit of small business that makes America great.
In the old days, money controlled politics. Today, information controls politics. So I think with the advent of the Internet, the power of wealth has been diminished. Look up all the people you know who spent millions and millions of dollars and fell short.
You might not be able to control your circumstances, but you can control your response to your circumstances.
I did one of those 'born again' things and invited Jesus to become the chairman of the board, of my life.
How hard have those intolerant of John Adams's perspective worked to strip from young people any hope of knowing the concepts and truths that help deal with life?
Do you honestly think that if Senator Santorum becomes president, we're going to get rid of contraceptives?
I love Romney. It is not his fault that he is the son of a successful governor and makes $20 million a year.
The press called me a billionaire, and my wife came up and said I must be squirreling money away.
'Hannity' had a a guy on that said, 'I fathered 20 kids by 14 mothers.' That is s cultural issue which has demeaned our society and has caused our society dearly in terms of imprisonment. Who's going to be the fathers to those children? Who's going to pay child support?
I have four kids. They are two years apart, and contraception has been very, very good to me.
On the national security front, Rick Santorum is superior to any candidate I know.
It's so sad to see how few people in the Obama administration have any private sector experience.
You don't want to put all your lead on the target. You want to leave some arrows in the quiver.
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.
Would-be adoptive parents have to struggle for years through a bureaucratic obstacle course at an average cost of $30,000.
Wealth is the ultimate panacea to poverty.
What the 'supposed 99 percent' don't realize is that they are better off if there are more fat cats, not less.
What do wealthy people do with their money? They can only buy so many cars, houses, and steak dinners. So we either give it away or invest it.
The McCain-Feingold limit on how much you give a candidate didn't really work because people found ways to get around it.
Do we really want Washington administrators coming between us and our doctors?
There's a group of people - maybe the secular Taliban is a good name for them - who have morphed this idea, that you have to accept my values being every bit as cherished as your values. That's not tolerance... There are too many things in this world which we sit back and tolerate.
I want to make sure the people we elect to office believe in America.
If you look at Republicans, they always run these old war horses.
I'm not a big fan of the high-altitude approach of mega TV ads.
Santorum is the greatest person on the face of the planet as far as I'm concerned.
In America, we have this bell curve of certain values. And then we have another bell curve of different values, which is the Republican Party. And they're out of sync right now.
I very, very much want to be involved in helping those senators, congressmen, and women who support the principles that made America great.
I allowed Rick Santorum to express views and ideas that the American people never would have had expressed.
What people love about Santorum is he is who is he. He speaks his words. He loves God. He loves his country, and he loves gays.
All of us grow.
If we really want to cherish religious freedom, people who want to believe that same-sex marriage should take place, they have a right to believe that, and people who want to believe it's inappropriate, we should not demonize those people - if we really believe in religious liberty.
Every child should at least grow up in family rather than without one.
Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs did not start out wealthy, and actually added to income inequality, but we all benefit from their creative effort.
Success should stem from entrepreneurial creativity, not political connectivity.
Life is just so much fun and so filled with humor.
I think the thing I'd like to do is just educate the people to some of the travesties they can end.
We don't have a war on terror - that's a technique. We didn't have a war on blitzkriegs, and we didn't have a war on surprise attacks.
I think we should be encouraged to learn from Columbine and let it be a battle cry for all of us.
I am absolutely stunned how the Democrats were able to somehow say that the Republicans had a war on women... What was the war on women?
Rick Santorum is the grandson of a coal miner. His dad was the manager of a V.A. hospital.
I have no control over the super PAC; all I do is write the check.
In certain states, if a woman makes $12,000 a year, and lives with her quarter-of-a million dollar boyfriend and they don't get married, as long as they don't get married, she gets maybe 20 or 30 thousand dollars in pre-tax benefits in terms of food stamps, health care and housing allowance.
Rick Santorum has so much potential and so much eagerness to serve our country.
Whether it is a super PAC or not, I have been blessed with wealth, and I think I have responsibility to use it properly.
President Obama's over in Indonesia when guys like me were at a paper route. President Obama, I don't know what experience he had at that same age when he was in Indonesia. So I think it's hard for him to grasp that America entrepreneurial spirit.
If we don't change our culture, the politics is going to migrate more and more to statism.
People asked, 'So what are you - a multimillionaire?' I like to say, 'A billionaire wanna-be.'
