"My hope is that that person will come forward that can win the presidency that we can all get behind." ― Rick Perry Topic(s): Hope More From Rick Perry "It is through states that the American people get the job done every day, often in spite of a deeply flawed bureaucratic federal government." "I mean, Dodd-Frank is strangling small community banks. It doesn’t make any difference what the interest rate is. They’re not – they’re not going to loan the money because they can’t make any money for one thing plus the cost of compliance." "America’s greatness is not found in the size of its government. America’s greatness resides in the hearts and the minds of the people." More In Hope "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."― Albert Einstein "My theory has always been, that if we are to dream, the flatteries of hope are as cheap, and pleasanter, than the gloom of despair."― Thomas Jefferson "I too hope in this short reign to be a man of peace."― Pope Benedict XVI
