If I can get on the presidential ballot in all 50 states and be allowed into the debates, I’d not only run, I’d win.

I’ve never been arrested in my life. Never had cuffs put on me, never been charged with a crime, never spent one day in jail.

Governments are run by people. People can be bad.

Certainly if he announces, if he will be a candidate, he will absolutely get my full consideration, … I don’t put the cart in front of the horse and until he becomes a candidate, he becomes the horse.

If you don’t forge ahead to open China’s markets, rest assured the window of opportunity will be lost, … The Europeans would like nothing better than for the U.S. Congress to continue fussing over this agreement.

In February 2003, I signed a three-year contract with MSNBC to host a talk show. Having recently decided not to run again for governor of Minnesota, I was still a pretty hot commodity. The show was originally scheduled for an hour, four nights a week.

I think a person who is disabled should be disabled by no act of their own. If you become disabled because of alcoholism, drugs, or things of that nature, I do not think those conditions qualify someone to be called disabled. I think those conditions result from personal decisions.

My position is that it isn’t government’s job to mandate patriotism. To me, mandating a pledge of allegiance to a government is something Saddam Hussein would do.

I believe that the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin are two of the greatest rock bands ever!

People don’t like politicians.

WikiLeaks is exposing our government officials for the frauds that they are. They also show us how governments work together to lie to their citizens when they are waging war.

My attitude when I’m in Mexico is I wake up in the morning with nothing to do and I go to bed half done. I don’t wear a watch. When I live down there, I do nothing according to time. I eat when I’m hungry and go to sleep when I’m tired.

My four years as governor, I never met with a lobbyist once, never. Not one lobbyist got in my office.

My children were attacked by the Minnesota media when I was governor.

Is it government’s job to make up for someone’s mistakes?

It’s convenient how everyone who supports waterboarding and torture, or “enhanced interrogation techniques” as they like to call it, have never experienced it themselves. Yet everyone who has, myself included, are firmly against it.

I’m the only person in the world that, when he holds down two jobs, gets criticized for it; everyone else gets a pat on the back and say, ‘What an entrepreneuring, hardworking person,’ but apparently that doesn’t apply to me.

China has made one-way concessions across the board in agriculture, manufactured goods, services, technology and telecommunications, … structural changes within China will be necessary to change China for the better in the long term.

I don’t want protectionist feelings in Congress to stand in the way of progress for Minnesota,

As governor, Jesse Ventura told it like it is, and now I’m telling you that BetUs.com is the only place to bet.

If I could be reincarnated as a fabric, I would come back as a 38 double-D bra.

If I were an innocent individual, flown to a foreign country and held for several years and tortured, I’d become a terrorist, too. I’d go to war against the U.S.

I think that Minnesota is different because we are proving that tri-partisan government could work, that you do not need to necessarily be a Democrat or a Republican to be successful at governing.

The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That’s all. It doesn’t guarantee our rights to charity.

I speak my mind. If it offends some people, well, there’s not much I can do about that. But I’m going to be honest. I’m going to continue to speak my mind, and that’s who I am…

Liberty is security. Freedom is security.

I’m kind of like Che Guevera. I lead the revolution, but at some point I turn it over to someone else.

The news used to be to report facts and allow you to make the decision.

I think that when Americans go to vote, states should not list what party the candidates are affiliated with. That would require voters to actually think and get to know a candidate instead of voting for their favorite gang. ‘Oh, this guy is a Republican, so he must be good.’

Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people’s business.

We call our country home of the brave and land of the free, but it’s not. We give a false portrayal of freedom. We’re not free — if we were, we’d allow people their freedom. Prohibiting something doesn’t make it go away. Prostitution is criminal, and bad things happen because it’s run illegally by dirt-bags...

The thing is, and Americans are starting to realize this now, that while street gangs are violent, the Democrats and Republicans are worse. They are worse because their decisions affect your life.

A crime is a crime, regardless of what collar you wear.

Monsanto can do anything they want to you, and put anything they want into your foods. There’s nothing you can do about it.

I’ve jumped out of an airplane 34 times. I’ve dove 212 feet under water. I’ve done a lot of things that defied death.

I’m tolerant of all religions… I don’t care if someone wants to go out there and worship the bark on a tree.

I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government’s business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me.

I would rather be uncomfortable with the truth than to be lied to in comfort. That’s just my nature.

You don’t need lawyers making laws. Regular citizens can make laws. Let the lawyers work under the laws.

In wrestling, my mustache made me look more like a villain. A good mustache can give you the look of the devil.

I love fat people. Every fat person says it’s not their fault, that they have gland trouble. You know which gland? The saliva gland.

I find that the history books that we teach our kids with are not fully truthful, in my opinion.

My father used to always say to me that, you know, if a guy goes out to steal a loaf of bread to feed his family, they’ll give him 10 years, but a guy can do white-collar crime and steal the money of thousands and he’ll get probation and a slap on the wrist.

If you want to stop illegal immigration, you have to make it so that – so that the people that hire the illegal immigrants will not be in a position to hire them.

We’re both very well aware that it’s naturally going to be those middle voters who will determine the [presidential] election, … I mean, the vice president’s a bright man. He understands that. Naturally, he has to focus on the independent voter. The independent voter determines who wins. I’m more pleased about the fact that we’re...

It’s going to be a tragic loss when Warren goes, because we’re going to lose a tremendous talent and somewhat of a conscience,

You give me a water board, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I’ll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.”(Larry King Live, May 11, 2009)

I asked Dalai Lama the most important question that I think you could ask – if he had ever seen Caddyshack.

Remember that government doesn’t earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government, that money must first be taken from somebody else.

If you start studying history closer, you’ll find that most all wars are based on false flag operations to get people – to convince the people that they’re under attack in some way so that they will support the wars.
