“Someone asked me recently if marriage is 50-50 - it averages out to be 50-50, but sometimes it's 75-25, sometimes it's 90-10. In the end, it has to average out to be 50-50; that's how you support each other.”

“The small businesses that I've talked to have consistently said that the cost of health care is one of the things that they need the most help with.”

“I never really thought about the fact that there weren't female role models, because I had them in my life. The women I knew in my life were so strong.”

“Like all small-business owners, I know what it's like to take a risk on an idea, manage cash flow, navigate regulations and tax laws, and create jobs.”

“My parents' greatest wish was that I graduated from college. Neither of my parents had a college education, and they really wanted me to have one.”

“Without truth, trust is lost. The ACA could not have been passed were it not for the repeated assertions, which proved to be false, that Americans who liked their health plans and their doctors could keep them.”

“It's unfortunate, you know, that you can't change people's - habits, their personal habits.”

“When I was asked if I supported merging SBA into Commerce, I really wasn't focused on SBA or Commerce; I was focused on the concept of merging agencies, or reducing duplicative programs, so that we could reduce those costs. I am a firm believer that SBA needs to be a stand-alone agency.”

“It is past time for Democrats and Republicans to join together to create a bipartisan coalition for courage and common sense.”

“You cant be afraid to take a risk. You can't be afraid to take a risk because you think you might fail.”

“Truly landmark pieces of legislation - including the Social Security Act, Medicare, and the Kennedy and Reagan tax reductions - historically have garnered strong support from both parties. The ACA did not.”

“I certainly think you could look at the business side of how WWE was run, which was as a conservative company with little debt and strong cash balance.”

“I was my father's son and my mother's daughter. There was never any time when I felt I wasn't equally capable - whether it was being the only girl in the county who could hit a jump shot in basketball or playing first base in the baseball with the boys. I was always encouraged to do whatever I wanted to do.”

“I'm going to continue to talk about what is important to the people of Connecticut which is jobs, getting people back to work, the economy.”

“You have to think about the WWE as soap operas.”

“We want to create more jobs. We want to qualify more lenders and expand lending markets. But also, I want a very different SBA - it's not your father's SBA. I want to modernize it and reposition it so when people think about jobs, they think about how the Small Business Administration would really be helpful.”

“I've made a payroll. I know what it's like to execute a business plan. I know what it's like to expect the proper return on investment... and I know you can't spend your way out of debt.”

“I don't know Gov. Palin. I've certainly seen her, since she came on the scene, you know, running with John McCain.”

“WWE is a company that produces fiction. It's a soap opera that runs 52 weeks a year without reruns.”

“Even entrepreneurs with the best ideas sometimes need a little wind beneath their wings.”
