"The American people are tired of empty promises and political double talk."

"The problem in this country is that too many people are looking for a handout and not enough are willing to work."

"I'm not a politician. I'm a soldier. And I'm going to run this country like a soldier."

"The world is not a dangerous place because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."

"I am a simple soldier, and I have tried to do my duty."
