considered delivered exceeded gop governor highly regarded running totally
I've always considered myself a Libertarian. While I was running for governor of New Mexico, the Republicans were totally inclusive of me; the party was open-armed, but they never thought I'd win.

cost difference education ends federal government involved left money schools setting standards stop time
If I was a state, I would like to see education left to the schools themselves, but I don't want the federal government involved in education. I think that it ends up setting standards that cost you time and money and don't make any difference in education. I want to stop that.

It wasn't really until the 10th or 11th grade when I started to play well, and football took the place of baseball, which was my love when I was five years old. I don't know what happened; baseball just got boring to me, I guess.

We can't go all over the world killing people because we disagree with them.

helping-someone long aids
No one will persist long in helping someone who will not help themselves.
writing abuse tragedy
You may abuse a tragedy, though you cannot write one. You may scold a carpenter who has made you a bad table, though you cannot make a table. It is not your trade to make tables.

The world is not yet exhausted: let me see something tomorrow which I never saw before.
