promise i-can
I don't make promises, by and large, that I can't keep.
teamwork responsibility compassion
I worry about America. For the first time in my lifetime, I'm worried about us, i'm worried about how our values to some degree have been eroded, of personal responsibility and compassion and teamwork. I worry about it, I worry about the fact that we're so divided.
jobs ohio careers
I'm not a plotter or a schemer. I'm a guy that looks at problems and tries to solve them, which I have done all of my career, creating jobs in Washington, creating jobs in Ohio.
guy littles bigs
You cannot build a little guy up by tearing a big guy down -- Abraham Lincoln said it.
gay mines happens
Guess what? I just went to a wedding of a friend of mine who happens to be gay.
dark light people
If you go into a room of 100-plus people, and you want to be the prince of darkness, you can be it. But I don't operate in the dark, I operate in the light.
philosophy ohio should-have
Everybody should have a chance to rise. That's our philosophy in Ohio and that's my philosophy for America.
moving thinking keys
Economic growth is the key to everything. But once you have economic growth, it is important that we reach out to people who live in the shadows, the people who don't seem to ever think that they get a fair deal. And that includes people in our minority community; that includes people who feel as though they don't have a chance to move up.
daughter fighting yelling
A friend asked one of my daughters, "Do you like politics?" And my daughter said, "No, I don't. And the reason I don't like it is because there's too much fighting, too much yelling. It's so loud, I don't like it." You know, I turned to my friend and I said, "You know, she's really on to something."
father mailman
Let's start off with my father being a mailman.
heart people safe
People have accused me at times of having too big of a heart.But I have to also to say I must keep the people of my state safe. So we take a pause [in taking refugees].
careers happened underestimated
I've always been underestimated. It's happened throughout my entire career.
optimistic thinking numbers
And, look, think about it, there were 16 people in the race, including a number of governors, and there's only one left. And I think that at the end we have to make sure that we have somebody that can go to that town, change that system, grow employment, change the whole way in which it works and ship power money and influence back to the states. So I'm optimistic about it.
sweat trying too-much
Every time I go to Washington, I break out in a cold sweat. So I try not to spend too much time there.
