It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
Quayle quotes
In George Bush you get experience, and with me you get the future.
Quayle
Our policies must be premised on, and must reinforce, values such as family, hard work, integrity and personal responsibility.




Quayle Dan quotes
One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Vice President, and that one word is 'to be prepared'.

Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.
Dan Quayle quotes
I was known as the chief graverobber of my state.
Dan Quayle
I had a good political career, and I have a good business career. I didn't get the brass ring, but I did very well.

I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix.

You’re close, but you left a little something off. The "e" on the end.

Mars is essentially in the same orbit.… Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.
Quayle Dan quotes
If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure.
Dan Quayle
I have been asked who caused the riots and the killing in LA, my answer has been direct and simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame. Yes, I can understand how people were shocked and outraged by the verdict in the Rodney King trial. But there is simply no excuse for the mayhem that followed.
Dan Quayle quotes
I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people.
Dan Quayle
It is not just age; it's accomplishments, it's experience. I have far more experience than many others that sought the office of vice president of this country. I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency. I will be prepared to deal with the people in the Bush administration, if that unfortunate event would ever occur.
Quayle Dan
You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and, as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be.
