Most of the media... is positioning the merger with Compaq and the recent actions by Walter Hewlett and David Packard as a fight between the past and the future.

What I think we need to do to engage the American people in a conversation about entitlement reform is to have a bipartisan group of people who come together and put every solution on the table, every alternative on the table. And then we ought to engage in a long conversation with the American people so they understand the choices.

Leadership comes in small acts as well as bold strokes.

Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called digital divide. Others see it as the solution. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, economic, political and social system.

This world is clearly emerging before our eyes. The shifts ahead, the opportunities ahead are massive.

I think we ought to ban earmarks. I think we ought to give citizens the opportunity to designate up to 10 percent of their federal income tax toward debt reduction. If we did that, we would reduce our debt by $95 billion a year.

Many people have asked me how I feel about losing my job.

The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington, D.C., which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.

My mother taught me about the power of inspiration and courage, and she did it with a strength and a passion that I wish could be bottled.

Well, you know, I - again, even in the context of BP, I wonder about this government's priorities. The federal government's top priority right now should be the cleanup. And BP certainly has done so many things wrong. They need to be held to account.

Most of the media... is positioning the merger with Compaq and the recent actions by Walter Hewlett and David Packard as a fight between the past and the future.

I am a conservative and proud of it.

When our most important issue is the debt that we're piling on our children and grandchildren, I think it's pretty helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate who has actually managed billions of dollars and knows how to cut billions of dollars.

Do not be afraid to make decisions, do not be afraid to make mistakes.

But ours was intended to be a citizen government. It is what of, by and for the people means. And when our most important issue in California is the creation of jobs, I think it's quite helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate or in the governor's seat who actually knows where jobs come from.

I started out typing and filing and answering the phones for a little nine-person firm. And that nine-person firm gave me my chance to find my own way.

The truth is, I'm proud of the life I've lived so far, and although I've made my share of mistakes, I have no regrets.

I think the dot-com boom and bust represented the end of the beginning. The industry is more mature today.

You have to master not only the art of listening to your head, you must also master listening to your heart and listening to your gut.

A boardroom is a collection of individuals, and individuals have varying motives, egos, agendas and qualifications. Sometimes the dynamics can go off track.

A leader's most important decisions are about people. Who do you put in which jobs? How long do you leave them in a job?

A merger is hard to pull off under any circumstances. It's harder when everybody is against you.

A woman's experience is different from a man's in virtually every respect, including how she is treated by the media.

Any work that's worth doing has its challenges as well as its opportunities. That's true if you're running a business, it's true if you're trying to help on a campaign.

Californians are worried about whether they will have a job along with ballooning federal spending and deficits.

Crony capitalism is alive and well: the big are bigger, the wealthy are getting wealthier because, with a very large powerful complicated government, which is what we have and which Democrats want more of, only the big, the powerful, the wealthy and the well connected can survive.

Don't think of yourself as a woman in business.

Fiscal policy is not just, or even not even principally, the purview of the president.

Had anyone told me that I was going to have a career in business, I would have said, 'No way.'

Hillary Clinton lies about Benghazi, she lied about emails, she is still defending Planned Parenthood, and she is still her party's frontrunner.

I certainly support civil unions.

I didn't get a phone call from Bill Clinton before I jumped in the race ... maybe it's because I hadn't given money to the foundation or donated to his wife's senate race.

I don't give up on commitments until what I've been asked to do is clearly finished.

I don't take on a fight just for a fight. I don't tilt at windmills.

I don't think we're going to see the price of oil going down in the near future, that's the reality.

I felt disconnected from the decisions made in Washington and, to be honest, really didn't think my vote mattered because I didn't have a direct line of sight from my vote to a result.

I have very eclectic tastes.

I know more world leaders on the stage today than anyone running, with perhaps the exception of Hillary Clinton.

I know why jobs go, and I know why they come.

I lost my job in the most public way possible, and the press had a field day with it all over the world. And guess what? I'm still here.

I love being a woman. I like dressing up; I love buying shoes.

I managed Hewlett Packard through the worst technology downturn in 25 years, the dotcom bust.

I mean there are many people who have endorsed me that I agree with on some things and not others.

I really believe that all CEO pay should be voted on by shareholders ahead of time. Mine was.

I started out as a receptionist. I typed, I filed, I answered the phones for a little nine-person company.

I think Donald Trump taps into an anger that I hear every day. People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It's not extreme; it's common sense. We need to secure the border.

I think a strong dollar is the result of policies, but I don't think the strong dollar is in and of itself a policy.

I think bolstering free trade is a boon to the dollar.

I think it would help tremendously to have a senator that knows where jobs come from, that knows how to create them, that knows how to bring them back and, importantly, knows what it means to manage billions of dollars' worth of expenses and cut billions of dollars' worth of expenses.
