Rick Perry quotes

We know there is no such thing as freedom without the risk of failure.

The God we serve does not seek out the perfect, but instead uses our imperfections and our shortcomings for his greater good. I am humbled by my own limitations. But where I am weak, He is strong.

And I think most people in this country want to see a president that's got the courage to say we're going to cut the tax burden, and reduce the regulatory climate, and we're going to get Americans working.

We believe in government involvement that leads to independence: good schools, quality roads and the best health care.

The fact is there is forgiveness for those who seek God. And I believe in the power of redemption.

What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work, and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life.

But it wasn't until I graduated from Texas A & M University and joined the United States Air Force, flying C-130's all around the globe, that I truly appreciated the blessings of freedom.

America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech.
