While it may seem small, the ripple effects of small things is extraordinary.

It is important never to forget our history, but parts of our history are more appropriately displayed in museums, not on government property.
I would encourage you: be informed - knowledge is power.
Everybody is welcome to come to dinner, but there's going to be the adult table and the kids' table. Whiny people who want to throw food and make noise and interrupt and be rude and act like children, they can sit at the kids' table.
People aren't suckers. Some are, perhaps. But most people inside know when we're being lied to.
Is it average Joes like ourselves who go to the ballot box and truly decide who are going to be the leaders, not only of their party - of their government - at the local, at the state, at the federal level? Is that really who's still in charge?
You can't punch people in the face, punch people in the face, punch people in the face, and ask them to have tea and crumpets with you and think it's all good. Life doesn't work that way.
This is our time. This is our opportunity. Together, we will accomplish great things.
I did not write any of the letters that were ever published as investment commentary.
We will hold Planned Parenthood accountable for knowingly endangering their patients by providing illegal abortions at a facility that was not properly licensed nor prepared to handle an emergency.
America is worth fighting for ideologically.
This administration will have no tolerance for the type of brazen disregard that Planned Parenthood has shown for both the safety of women and the rule of law.
Too many of the career politicians, the established politicians in Washington on both sides of the aisle, are representing their party more than the people. And no matter what the media says, the ballot box will determine what people truly believe.
I like Ben Carson.
I am not, and have never been, a supporter of cockfighting or any other forms of animal cruelty.
I have 9 children; I'm a big believer in childhood education, but we've got to be smart about getting a good return on the investment of those dollars.
Liberals are good at catchphrases, but there's no substance behind them.
I'm a Republican. I'm running in a Republican primary.
When I have people like Planned Parenthood intentionally not following the law, that's where the state will be involved.
I want us to be able to fight ideologically, mentally, spiritually, economically, so that we don't have to do it physically.
There are no taxes that are unpaid, nor were there any taxes that I was responsible for that didn't get paid.
We're in Kentucky, dude. How many variations of Bevin are there? Many. Bevins, Blevins, Belvin, Belvins, I'm sure. Or Bevin even with an -eavin or... Bivin or Bivins. And we're probably all cousins if you go back far enough.
It's a question of whether or not we the people are still in charge. And by 'we the people,' I mean, is this truly a government of and by and for the people.
People are hungry for someone who is real. They are hungry for something that is not the same plastic nonsense that has cause us to have such little respect for our political process and our political officials.
I have nine children. Four of my children are adopted. We talk about those who have nothing. My children started with nothing, some of them.
I am a believer in smaller government, limited government, less regulation, less taxes, because I think to have more of those things, we suffocate the entrepreneurial spirit of this nation.
I have nine children. It breaks my heart to think that it might be their blood is needed to redeem something, to reclaim something that we, through our apathy and our indifference, have given away.
Donald Trump is an interesting fellow.
Black, white, rural, urban, Democrat, Republican, independent. People who come from both ends of the socio-economic spectrum. Male, female. Young and old alike. This is our Kentucky.
I think we will be safer when we can concentrate law enforcement and criminal justice resources and energies on those individuals who truly need, for the safety of society... to be incarcerated.
I believe in forgiveness, I believe in second chances, and I believe we should find a way to restore the Second Amendment rights to people who are qualified and have shown themselves qualified to have those rights restored to them.
I name my companies things that are intentional, that are specific, that are worthy of ridicule if you are anything other.
As Governor, I will direct my Secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services not to distribute federal taxpayer dollars from that department to Planned Parenthood clinics.
The fact that we have one out of four people in this state on Medicaid is unsustainable; it's unaffordable, and we need to create jobs in this state, not more government programs to cover people.
I have no tax delinquency problem, nor have I ever.
Who are we to think that our generation is going to be the first generation to benefit from all the sacrifices that others have made without giving some modern-day equivalent of our own lives, fortunes, and sacred honor?
I'll listen to the people. I will not put my party ahead of what the people want.
If you've ever questioned your faith, you're going to question it when you are burying your own children.
We need education across the board on all fronts.
I don't think it's wise to shut down the government.
I have no favors to pay back.
There is going to have to be austerity in the state of Kentucky.
The fact is the American people want men and women to stand up and represent them and to put their interests ahead of the party interests.
We cannot be complacent about the determination of radical Islamic extremists to destroy our freedoms.
Be bold - there's enough Neville Chamberlains in the world; be a Winston Churchill, for crying out loud!
There are quite enough sheep already - be a shepherd: be somebody who's bold and who leads.
We have seen a degradation from the highest levels of authority politically in this nation, including through the department of justice, for the rule of law.
I am not above copying what other people are doing well.
I am genuinely sorry that my attendance at an event which, other than my comments, appears to have primarily involved a discussion of cockfighting, has created concern on the part of many Kentucky voters.
Criminalizing behavior, if it's part of the heritage of this state, is in my opinion a bad idea.
