I can't let important policy decisions hinge on the fact that an election is coming up every 90 days.
Gerhard Schroeder

I deserve respect for the things I did not do.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power.

I have a very good family. I'm very fortunate to have a very good family. I believe very strongly in the family. It's one of the things we have in our platform, is to talk about it.

I was known as the chief grave robber of my state.
Dan Quayle

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

I'm going to be a vice president very much like George Bush was. He proved to be a very effective vice president, perhaps the most effective we've had in a couple of hundred years.
Dan Quayle
