The Holy Spirit is our comforter, our teacher. That’s why, in prayer, we can ask the Lord to open up Scripture and make it come alive to us, to open our understanding. He left his...

I am proud of my husband, Marcus, the love of my life, and his Swiss heritage. Even though I have been a dual citizen since I was married in 1978, I have never exercised any...

While I am reluctant to cite sexism as a political issue, sexism certainly can exist.

I’ve given birth to five babies and I breastfed every single one of these babies. To think that government has to go out and buy my breast pump for my babies. You wanna talk about...

I think what separates me from the candidates is the fact that I have a proven track record of being a fighter. A fighting for what people believe in, whether it is popular or not....

I don’t want the United States to be in a global economy where our economic future is bound to that of Zimbabwe. We can’t necessarily trust the decisions that are being made financially in other...

We’re seeing the fulfillment of the Book of Judges here in our own time – every man doing that which is right in his own eyes.

Well, what did we buy? Instead of a leaner, smarter government, we bought a bureaucracy that now tells us which light bulbs to buy, and which will put 16,500 IRS agents in charge of policing...

Both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich supported the Wall Street bailout.

Why would any parent want their kid on their health-care plan when they are 26? Parents want their kids to grow up and take care of themselves. A 26-year-old is an adult.

It’s tough to find a place not to like in Switzerland.

I think it’s best if there’s an amendment that goes on the ballot where the people can weigh in. Every time this issue has gone on the ballot, the people have voted to retain the...

You don’t stay married for 33 years and not compromise.

I’ve learned the hard way at the national level that any erroneous statement will very quickly be magnified. So, as someone who talks for a living, I’ve learned to check, double-check and triple-check my sources.

The government has no business telling an individual what kind of light bulb to buy.

Carbon dioxide is natural. It is not harmful. It is part of Earth’s life cycle.

When migraines briefly became a campaign issue for me, it appeared that political foes were maybe playing the gender card.

I’m not involved in light, frivolous matters. I’m not involved in fringe or side issues. I’m involved in serious issues.

I come from a modest background. I put myself through college and law school and a postdoctorate program in tax law.

A man can do a television interview and roll out of bed 15 minutes before; it’s just not the same for a woman. A woman has to pay attention to her hair, makeup, clothing, and...

Where do we say that a cell became a blade of grass, which became a starfish, which became a cat, which became a donkey, which became a human being? There’s a real lack of evidence...

I thought if anyone need a leg up, it was our foster children. So, I started getting involved in education reform, and that was back in 1998. And as a result of all the reform...

Hey, I took karate when I was 17 years old; I am dangerous.

It isn’t that I was born thinking I had to be president. I’m getting a lot of encouragement to run from people across the country. I don’t believe this is a rash decision.

Morals are built on religious faith. Virtue is built on morality and influences a culture.

During my first term in Congress, I signed a pledge that I will take no more earmarks and I’ve been faithful to that pledge.

When you are running for the presidency of the United States, you have to expect that you are going to have attacks by all sides.

Small-business people do not want to have more than 50 employees, because that’s when all the regulatory burden of Obamacare kicks in.

I come here as one of you – an Iowan!

I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America? I think people would be – would love to...

Literally, if we took away the minimum wage – if conceivably it was gone – we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.

If there was one word on a motivation or world view, that one word would be ‘liberty.’ That’s what inspires me and motivates me more than anything – just the concept of freedom, liberty, what...

I always worked very hard against the unconstitutional individual mandate in health care. I didn’t praise it.

Without a doubt, absolutely, a woman will be a president, and probably sooner rather than later. I am excited about that, and if what I did serves as a steppingstone for another woman down the...

The biased left-wing media does what it wants. That’s not going to define me or hamper me.

You will never see President Bachmann step one toe out of the United States and apologize for this country.

I’m not motivated by vanity, glory or the quest for power.

A normal way that the American free market system has worked is that we have a process of unwinding. It’s called bankruptcy. It doesn’t mean, necessarily, that the industry is eclipsed or that it’s gone....

I don’t have anything against Jimmy Fallon. I love him; he’s a kick.

I think it’s important that people know what raising the debt ceiling is. It’s Congress giving permission to the federal government to borrow more money that we don’t have, and we borrow it for the...

If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and...

People were floored when they saw that the underwear bomber, after less than 50 minutes of interrogation, was given the rights, privileges, and immunities of an American citizen under the Constitution.

I made a decision when I ran for president that I wouldn’t whine about my coverage in the media, and I never did.

I think that it’s important that the American people know that Barack Obama didn’t have a mild association with Bill Ayers, he had a very strong association with Bill Ayers. Bill Ayers is not someone...

You can’t take money from the taxpayers out of the treasury to give it to pay off your political donors. That’s corruption to do that.

The Republican Party is extremely pro-women.

My husband and I had five biological children but we also have been raising 23 foster children.

My parents were divorced when I was a young teenager, and I was raised by a single mother after that. So, I understand the difficulties that families have. I understand single parenting.

I don’t need government to be successful.

The Minnesota Republican hierarchy didn’t want me to run against their incumbent in 2000; they didn’t know who I was. And once many party bigwigs did get to know me, they weren’t sure that I...
