Dana Perino
To meet our troops was just wonderful, and I really, really admired the Iraqi security forces I met. I felt like, 'I'm pulling for you guys.' They want peace. They're working hard for it.
I would like to have a right not to have an opinion. I don't want to have to care about everything.
Inauguration Day is like two ships passing in the night: the new staff moving in while the other walks out, taking one final look at the White House lawn as they leave with their cardboard box of possessions.
You're not going to bring back all the jobs from China.
The Mexicans are not going to build the wall... they're not going to do it.
People really think that the only way I got to be press secretary is because I somehow had a personal family connection to the Bushes or the Cheneys, and that wasn't true.
Part of the great thing of looking back on how I went from the cattle ranch to the White House was, I was a country music DJ. I saw Garth Brooks perform for free in 1992 at the Colorado State Fair where I met this person who knew about this graduate school program.
My biggest point to everybody is you have a responsibility to build your own network.
The most important thing that everybody can do, aside from building and keeping your network strong, is make good choices about your health.
You tax Mexico? The president of the United States is going to tax Mexico to get a wall for the United States of America? I'm pointing out the absurdity of a lot of these comments.
When you're the president of the United States, you have no money unless the Congress says, 'Here's what you can spend it on.'
Even President Obama has not suggested he could get another country to pay for building a wall between Mexico and the United States.
The realities are, there are - you can be entertaining and you can be fun, and you can say things that actually appeal to people. You still have to figure out a way to get to 270 electoral votes. Get votes in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.
Your goal as a candidate - define others before they can define you.
I respect all women who came before me to blaze trails into the workplace for us.
I personally have a pretty open philosophy about trying to talk to the press, and so does Dan Bartlett.
I just think it's quite remarkable that everyone says they want to add more commentary to their news pages. In some ways, I think, 'Well, how is that even possible?' It seems sometimes that that's all that there is.
I don't think that I would always be asked about my feelings about liberal bias in the media if there wasn't any liberal bias in the media. If it was a moot question, then we wouldn't always have the discussion.
Ann Coulter is very popular. She has got a niche. She is a best selling author, but she does not represent Republican women.
I think there is room out there to show the grace and dignity of women like Laura Bush.
I think it is very good for the country, for the world, and especially for the Democrats that Harry Reid is retiring.
I've never seen anything so abhorrent in my life as Harry Reid. He's an equal opportunity basher. He goes after everybody, and I think it has been so, frankly, disgusting.
I am a pretty level-headed person, but that person, Harry Reid, has been the most destructive entity in Washington when it comes to civility. By far.
When a president speaks, it's to multiple audiences.
I could actually be somebody that, if you showed me new gun-control legislation could help solve this problem, I might actually be able to support something like that.
Just as I try to find ways to be more productive every year for myself, I also look for tips to pass on to young professionals.
You can tell a lot about a person just by watching their facial expressions. But there are times when it's best to hide your feelings, especially at work.
If you are trying to get people to work on a problem together, it's best if they don't know where you, as the supervisor/manager, stand on the question.
Many young adults I have communicated with - both in-person and over email - constantly apologize before stating their idea, or finish each sentence with a question. Unfortunately, doing so in business puts you at an immediate disadvantage with your boss and work colleagues.
I don't know if people are born with a worldview or if their thinking is a product of their environment.
Like most conservatives, my path was a bit meandering. I grew up around people who mostly held conservative or libertarian views. The liberals I knew were fairly quiet about it, or at least I don't remember it being very heavy-handed.
The first presidential election I really paid attention to was in 1988 when George H. W. Bush ran against Michael Dukakis.
I grew up admiring Ronald Reagan and Vice President Bush, and if I were old enough, I would have voted for 41. I was glad he won.
If a political opponent has different approaches than mine, that doesn't make them a bad person. It means they have different backgrounds, experiences, and ideas.
I love my right-wing friends, my practical friends, my bleeding heart friends - without all of these viewpoints, life would be pretty boring.
Millennials are the future of our country and of our political parties, and they shouldn't be unfairly characterized or labeled. They deserve to be heard.
A key component of social media is 'following' - and no one is there to see what you have to say on Instagram or Twitter if they aren't motivated to follow you.
Trump's campaign slogan resonates strongly with a large population of Americans. 'Make America Great Again' portrays a nostalgia for what America once was, and a longing desire to return to that time. Millennials unfortunately don't know first-hand that time which Trump is talking about.
If you're a Republican woman, you're mostly on your own when it comes to support from traditional women's groups.
On election night 2000, I had never met then-Governor Bush, though I'd supported him for years. I believed he would be a strong, optimistic and gracious president with solid conservative principles and a big heart.
I believe that leaders should inspire you to be more like them.
One of the great joys in life is reading, yet it's the main thing people say they don't have time to do.
For as long as I can remember, we've been having debates about the foreign policy disasters and seemingly unsolvable problems around the world. Dinner conversations are replayed over generations - nothing seems to get better, and in some aspects, it seems dramatically worse, and that is especially true for women.
It isn't always on the front pages, but the horrifying mistreatment and subjugation of women around the globe is very much worthy of more attention.
Vulnerable young women are being brainwashed by the radical lies of ISIS militants in the Middle East.
New Year's Eve is a great time to think about making a resolution to change a behavior, improve upon a practice, or to start something new. Most people don't keep their resolutions very far into the year, but there's no reason to wait until Dec 31st to reboot.
Reality TV is easier to digest if it comes in small amounts.
Whether it's foreign money or hiding emails, these stories are creating a narrative about Hillary Clinton trying to be above everyone else and operating under her own set of rules.Collection: Creating
