Zitat des Tages von Jesse Ventura:
I would give the people of America to their first opportunity to elect a president who doesn't belong to either party since George Washington.
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers.
I decided to run for governor because I got mad... I want to make government more directly accountable to the people.
Monsanto can do anything they want to you, and put anything they want into your foods. There's nothing you can do about it.
When I ran for governor of Minnesota, I only raised $300,000.
I don't oppose hunting in any way, shape or form. If that's what you enjoy doing, you are free to do it.
In the last recession, 99 percent of us have lost wealth, but did you know that the top 1 percent increased their wealth five times? It tells you they create recessions so they get wealthier.
Whenever the government says, 'It's time to move on,' that means there's something they don't want you to know about.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life in politics. When I'm finished with my term as governor, I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the private sector.
If you were to come to Minnesota, I could have you locked up like that. That's power.
Tell the truth because then you don't have to have a good memory.
Students often approached me about state-paid tuition while I was out campaigning. After I explained to them that if the state pays their tuition now, they will pay higher taxes to pay other people's tuition for the rest of their lives, most of them ended up agreeing with me.
I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me.
Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film.
If you work for the federal government, the average salary is $7,000 higher than the private sector. Something's wrong with that, when you're making more money working for the government than you can working in the private sector.
I think the founding fathers believed religion shouldn't interact directly with government.
Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way.
I think that Minnesota is different because we are proving that tri-partisan government could work, that you do not need to necessarily be a Democrat or a Republican to be successful at governing.

I asked Dalai Lama the most important question that I think you could ask - if he had ever seen Caddyshack.
There are a lot of good causes out there, but they can't possibly all be served by government.
I believe in the America people's ability to govern themselves. If government would just get out of the way and allow them to lead their lives as they choose, they will succeed.

There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag.
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
You're lucky if I watch 10 minutes of wrestling a month. Most of the time, I channel surf, and I lose interest after a few minutes.
I speak my mind. If it offends some people, well, there's not much I can do about that. But I'm going to be honest. I'm going to continue to speak my mind, and that's who I am.
I'm going to put on my gravestone, 'He never owned a cell phone.'
If the government mandates anything with a price tag on it, then it ought to fund the project.
There's no question that we need tougher drunk-driving laws for repeat offenders. We need to take a lesson from European countries where driving isn't a right but a privilege.

I'm the only person in the world that, when he holds down two jobs, gets criticized for it; everyone else gets a pat on the back and say, 'What an entrepreneuring, hardworking person,' but apparently that doesn't apply to me.
