DAN WEBSTER

Do I like foreign aid? Sometimes, but not every time. Don't like giving money to our enemies, but I love giving money to Israel.

The true value of having Florida Virtual School in this mix is that it creates a gold standard for all providers to meet if they hope to compete for Florida students. This program raises the bar for everybody, even the traditional public schools. And that benefits all our children.

All I want to do is get back to a principle-based Congress.

Every member in Congress has a seat, and they deserve a seat at the table.

For most of my time in Tallahassee, I did a lot of transportation.

I always think I have a chance, and I always give it all I've got.

I believe that Obamacare is bad for America.

I changed that system in Florida when I was the Speaker of the House - I was the Minority Leader; I saw for 16 years the way a power system works.

I don't do anything political on Sundays.

I found a mistake in a rule. They addressed the wrong rule number... I pointed it out, did an amendment, and everybody was happy after that.

I have one desire: That is to have a principle-based, member-driven Congress. Period. That's what I want.

I never talk about my opponent because I don't think it's my right to judge.

I was told freshman Republicans don't get their bills heard.

I would like to give evidence we can lead. And I think the only way we can do that is to unify the diversity of the party.

I'm a plodder, not a planner.

I'm going to be as sincere as I can in delivering the message I think is right. If people agree, great, and if they don't, I did my best.

I'm not an angry kind of person. What I am is a principled person.

I'm the only person that has ever run a principle-based legislative body.

I've been a speaker. I've been a majority leader. I've been a minority leader. Those are the sort of things I don't need any more.

I've never, in my whole 30 years in office, run a negative ad.

If principles don't determine what you are going to pass or do, then power will.

If we do our job right, then we have everything to stand on. If we don't do our job, we have everything to lose on.

If you need a door kicked in, just call, and we'll kick it. Now, it may not always be the answer you want, but you will get an answer.

John Boehner is a friend.

My expectations are not in any future event. I would rather just be prepared for whatever might take place.
