My great desire has been to remove from the political arena a question of this kind that is calculated to prevent us getting a verdict upon the important political issues that separate the two parties in this country.

Charles Tupper

Outlawing religion form the political arena is not what the Founding Fathers intended when they drafted the First Amendment. We do a grave disservice to our country by removing the influence of religion. If you separate God from the public arena, inevitably you separate good from our government.

Bill Bright

I wouldn't say I'm against same-sex marriage. I believe in freedom and equality for all people. I believe that when it comes to gay marriage, that's a political and legal issue that has to be dealt with in that arena. I have privately held beliefs, but when it comes to that, it's properly placed in the political and legal arena.

Bernice King

I think that we are at a point in our country where we're trying to decide what role should religion play in the political arena.

Nikki Haley

Even in the political arena, we need good people to join politics. I believe women can lead the country.

Jaya Prada

You can be in a nonprofit organization. You can serve your fellow man in a variety of other ways. You don't necessarily have to win political office.

George P. Bush

If you want to serve in a Trump administration, you're going to serve this country, not yourself.

Sean Spicer

I want to serve. I love my country. I love service above self and I don't want my talents to go to waste. I also want to send a message to other men and women who've tripped over themselves, or over life: that you need to serve your time in purgatory.

Most companies want free enterprise in general because that produces better goods and services and makes people's lives better, but they don't want it in their business. They want protection from competition, they want subsidies, they want the government to pick winners and losers, and they want to be picked as winners, and that's what we're opposing, and that's what drives my whole efforts in policy, and in the political arena.

Charles Koch

We want to serve the country. We want to help the country get stronger.

Doug McMillon

We need to remember that politics is all about people, not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena.

J. C. Watts

I think that passion is the secret ingredient that drives hard work and excellence. My passion is to serve the public: to be in the arena of public policy, to have the opportunity to solve problems for our country, to be in a position where I can make a difference.
