Zitat des Tages von Sonny Perdue:
The South is a great driving destination for tourism - heritage, cultural and many other types of tourism.
In the business world, lower profits reflect less demand for your product. But in government the opposite is true - demand for our services increases in hard times.
I believe Georgia should aspire to nothing less than greatness. And I believe greatness is within our grasp.
Our best teachers do more than impart facts and figures - they inspire and encourage students and instill a true desire to learn. That's a fine art in itself.
Yes, I'm your governor now. I'll take care of you.
I'm not sure about public apologies on behalf of other people as far as the motivation for them.
We don't want a busybody government - a boss - that butts into our lives every chance it gets to tell us how to work, how to play, where to live and on and on.
Requiring valid, photographic identification is a common sense step to ensure voter integrity and sound elections.
My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service.
I want the USDA to look like America, and I want it to be the best, most effectively managed agency in the U.S. That starts with good people.
One of my great joys in life is being a pilot. There is a great sense of freedom in soaring through the sky. You get a different perspective up there. Seeing things that aren't so apparent from the ground.
No, our greatness does not come from our government.
But we know that the very God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. And sometimes we're called upon to defend both life and liberty - God's blessings to Americans, and indeed, to all of His creation.
We want a state wise in its contemplation - just in its actions - and moderate in the reach of government into our lives.
When you combine the men and women deployed from our military installations with activated reservists and members of the National Guard, Georgia is contributing more personnel to the theatre than any other State in our Union.
We have seen levee breaks and flooding in the wake of storms, some of which have caused the loss of life, and USDA is ready to assist in any way we can.
I call it people-to-people politics and that's what politics should be about, reaching out and helping one another and touching one another about what we're going to do.
Food is a noble thing to trade.
You see, greatness for a state doesn't require some huge monument for all to see. It is not a journey to a particular destination - but a commitment to follow a course of constant and never-ending improvement.
I've helped create and save thousands of American jobs.
I want to say something in a tough-love kind of way about crop insurance. Let's face it: You don't buy insurance on your house hoping it will burn down. Neither do we want to buy crop insurance and hope our crop fails so we can file.
We can love all people while loving the law and expecting the law to be fulfilled, and that's a tricky balance.
If I want to call somebody's name out, I want to make sure they've done wrong.
In my eight years as governor, I did everything I could to resist federal control of issues that belong to the states.
We simply believe that everyone who lives in our state needs to abide by our laws.
Since I was a boy - born into a farming family in Bonaire, GA - I've had agriculture running through my veins.
I'm not very much of a 'name it and shame it' kind of guy.
I am a small business owner; I'm in the agri-business. That's about as blind a trust as you can get. We trust in the Lord for rain and many other things.
My first goal as governor is to restore public trust in state government by changing the culture of state government.
The goal of any farmer, after producing enough to feed his own family, has always been to find the best place to sell the year's crop.
I haven't run across anyone in Georgia who is not regretful and repentant of man's inhumanity when you talk about owning one another.
It is a commitment to our children and grandchildren to preserve a statewide network of land and water resources, prime agricultural and forestry lands, and natural, historic, and recreational areas for them to enjoy.
