BOB DOLE

I just consider myself a Republican, none of this hyphenated stuff. I was a mainstream conservative Republican, and most people are in that category.

I've never known a lot of rich people. It's not my bag.

The internet is a great way to get on the net.

Things are going to get better. Be optimistic.

Something is wrong with America. I wonder sometimes what people are thinking about or if they're thinking at all.

You know, a better man for a better America. That's sort of our slogan.

Life is very important to Americans.

I don't know how many people run for vice president and president and lose both.

President Obama came to visit me in the hospital. He said, 'I wish you were still in the Senate; I need your help.' I'm not certain I can help on everything. Maybe some things.

Those who cultivate moral confusion for profit should understand this: we will name their names and shame them as they deserve to be shamed.

Think I'll win. Could be big.

If something happened along the route and you had to leave your children with Bob Dole or Bill Clinton, I think you would probably leave them with Bob Dole.

It's going to be hard for someone like me to run for president.

Our intent will not be to create gridlock. Oh, except maybe from time to time.

We're trying to get good pictures. Don't worry very much about what I say.

You feel a little older in the morning. By noon I feel about 55.

I'm not a Gingrich fan. He's just difficult to work with. It's either Newt's way or the highway.

We'll all be riding that streetcar of desire.

Elizabeth's back at the red cross, and I'm walking the dog.

As long as there are only 3 to 4 people on the floor, the country is in good hands. It's only when you have 50 to 60 in the Senate that you want to be concerned.

I really thought, with my background growing up, and my service, and all that, I thought it would be enough for the presidency. But... It sure was enough when I ran for Congress.

I've thought about it, not a lot, but I thought my relationship with Congress - the Democrats and Republicans - would help me get some things done. Not everything, but at least they'd be willing to try.

At least she's the president of something, which is more than I can say.

If you're hanging around with nothing to do and the zoo is closed, come over to the Senate. You'll get the same kind of feeling and you won't have to pay.

I will seek the presidency with nothing to fall back on but the judgment of the people of the United States, and nowhere to go but the White House or home.
