When I came into the Perry family, it was one of those deals where it was the only family I had. I didn't have a father figure growing up like that, somebody who genuinely cared about me. Governor Perry taught me how to be a good man.

It's got to be both houses and the people coming together in unanimous decision when you start messing with the Constitution.

The only way we're going to keep America safe is to have an elite military, all right.

In the middle of everything evil, in an evil place, you can find goodness. Goodness. I'd even call it godliness.

I can't wait to get back to the ranch and go back to easy living.

There's nothing glorious about war. There's nothing glorious about holding your friends in your arms and watching them die. There's nothing glorious about having to leave your home for 6 to 8 months while your family's back here and you're away.

We have to make sure the Hell the veterans come home from is not the Hell they come back to.

I challenge all of you to fight for this country.

I got my service dog when I was medically retired out of the military, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wish every medically retired serviceman could have a service dog. He's amazing. He's my best bud. I go everywhere and anywhere with him.

I could care less whether the American public knows what I look like.

Burn the flag; that's a freedom. Then I have the freedom to take it away from them and tell them how dumb they are.

If I had to say something to Americans, being afraid and having fear, it's okay to be fearful because that will make you strong; being afraid will shut you down.
