A Quote by Paul Ryan

My dad died when I was young. He was a good and decent man. There are a few things he would say that have just always stuck with me. He'd say, "Son, you're either part of the problem or part of the solution." Well, regrettably, President Obama has become part of the problem, and Mitt Romney is the solution.
It was a tedious saying among hippies: if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. I was very much part of the problem.
This is the hard part. Knowing and admitting a problem are not the same as solving it. But executing a solution is also the fun part, because the solution save you and gets you moving again.
Become part of the solution rather than part of the problem
You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem.
Be part of the solution and answer to the problem versus part of the problem and continuing argument around it.
I have a problem with Mitt Romney. And it's big problem - one that extends beyond our ideological differences. My big concern is that Mitt Romney wants to become president for no other reason than because there's a possibility he can win.
If you don't want to have to kill or capture every bad guy in the country, you have to reintegrate those who are willing to be reconciled and become part of the solution instead of a continued part of the problem. And then, above all, the resources.
I'm a parent. I have kids, and what's happening with our waters, and our oceans, and what's happening with deforestation, and all these things that human beings are having negative impacts on at this time, are concerning to me. I wanted to do whatever I could to be a part of the solution and not just be a part of the problem.
Early on, in discussions of financial oversight, people would say, 'Well, this is a very complicated problem, therefore it requires a complicated solution.' And at that step, I would say, 'Well, wait a minute. Just because it's a complicated problem doesn't mean the best course of action immediately is one that's complicated.'
You're part of the problem or the solution. Solution means, in my opinion, to be taking extra time and energy in trying to give back to the world.
People have decided that career politicians may be part of the problem, not part of the solution.
People who can't admit they are part of the problem, will never be part of its solution.
I said I would be part of the solution in Jefferson City, not part of the problem. And I said I'd take on the culture of corruption.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, but the perpetual human predicament is that the answer soon poses its own problems.
Like most of us, I determined that I'd rather be a large part of the problem than a small part of the solution.
The solution to a problem - a story that you are unable to finish - is the problem. It isn't as if the problem is one thing and the solution something else. The problem, properly understood = the solution. Instead of trying to hide or efface what limits the story, capitalize on that very limitation. State it, rail against it.
