I moved on with my life but I still have a big commitment to Terri. I made her a promise.

And then they sign an affidavit swearing that she's not in a vegetative stage. I'll tell you. That's a doctor you really want; they can look at a picture and make a diagnosis.

What they're doing is, they're making the decisions for us. That's what this country is coming down to. They're going to make the decisions for us.

The reason why I've been keeping private for the longest time ever here, I've always wanted to protect my wife's privacy. I don't like - I didn't want to put her picture all over the news. I just wanted to keep her private.

I believe in the vows that I took with my wife. Through sickness, in health, for richer or poorer.

I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

You know, my parents, they raised me to be a fighter.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

Let us tell our legislators in advance, that this is a right, restraints on which, we will not, cannot bear; and that every attempt to restrain it is a palpable wrong on God and man.

This source of corruption, alas, is inherent in the democratic system itself, and it can only be controlled, if at all, by finding ways to encourage legislators to subordinate ambition to principle.

The important thing to understand about legislators is that there are dozens of competing interests and issues that occupy them. They are stretched thin.

When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.
