J C Watts Quotes

There can’t be opportunity or jobs without investment and profit Picture Quote #1

I believe government should be loyal to parents, teachers and children Picture Quote #1

Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s wrong is to get caught Picture Quote #1

Death and taxes may be inevitable, but they shouldn’t be related Picture Quote #1

Reparations, I believe, are talked about for political reasons, trying to cater for the purpose of getting votes. If Congress was serious about reparations - in 93 and 94 the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the White House, and not one single Republican vote was needed for reparations Picture Quote #1

Well, Mark, I led the charge for five or six years to get reforms for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I was chairman of an organization called ‘FM Policy Focus.’ What we were saying was, if there was blip in the housing market, Fannie and Freddie would destabilize the greatest economy in the world Picture Quote #1

In 2008, as a matter of fact, I had people accusing me of being a Senator Obama supporter because I wouldn’t slam him. I said, ‘Well, consider the fact that I voted for impeachment for President Clinton, but it wasn’t a personal vote. I voted based on the facts and the law and the Constitution and what we were dealing with.’ Picture Quote #1

Consider in Washington, around the country today we are talking about balanced budgets, paying down our national debt, getting the economy going, defending ourselves, activist judges. Newt Gingrich did all those things when he was speaker. We got tax relief. We got balanced budgets. We got, you know, job creation. We paid down our national debt Picture Quote #1

You always hear ‘black Republican,’ but you never hear ‘white Democrat.’ We’ve got to get beyond the labels and stereotypes. Other people have hang-ups about it. I don’t Picture Quote #1

Serving in Congress has been more than an honor; it has been one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life... It has been a wonderful ride. It has been a wonderful journey Picture Quote #1

I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I’m growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it Picture Quote #1

I like to call the ethos I grew up with ‘Oklahoma values.’ But you’d be just as accurate if you said ‘American values.’ Except for our lack of a seacoast, Oklahoma has a little bit of just about everything that’s American Picture Quote #1

Governor is not the position to have in Oklahoma. It is the head coach of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State or Tulsa Picture Quote #1

When it comes to the American dream, no one has a corner on the market. All of us have an equal chance to share in that dream Picture Quote #1

I do think, however, that there’s a very diverse point of view in the African-American community. There’s a lot of different voices that need to be heard. I don’t claim and pretend to know the thoughts and opinions and ideas of all African-Americans Picture Quote #1

Affirmative action is a little like the professional football draft. The NFL awards its No. 1 draft choices to the lowest-ranked team in the league. It doesn’t do this out of compassion or guilt. It’s done for mutual survival. They understand that a league can only be as strong as its weakest team Picture Quote #1

Republicans and Democrats have used accounting gimmicks and competing government analyses to deceive the public into believing that 2 2 = 6. If our leaders cannot agree on the numbers, if ‘facts’ are fictional, how can they possibly have a substantive debate on solutions? Picture Quote #1

Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It’s not hard. Character is doing what’s right when nobody’s looking Picture Quote #1

The past two decades revolutionized the way we access information. You and I can have our questions answered with the click of a mouse at any time of day. If America, both corporation and citizen alike, can use these services to solve problems, why can’t Washington? Picture Quote #1

In 1989 when I switched from Democrat to Republican, with God as my witness, not one thing changed about what I believed about one man and one woman in a marriage or about diversity of color. That’s a good thing Picture Quote #1

They said that I had sold out and (am an) Uncle Tom. And I said well, they deserve to have that view. But I have my thoughts. And I think they’re race-hustling poverty pimps Picture Quote #1

I think in politics, in Congress, you often do things that are Republican, or you do things because you’re a Democrat. Sometimes that’s good, obviously, and sometimes that’s obviously bad. But in the news business, there’s no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news Picture Quote #1

Like any group that has endured much, African Americans have created a strong and mutually reinforcing sense of group identity. That’s not a bad thing in and of itself Picture Quote #1

Republicans think that the NAACP is the only voice in the black community. It is a voice in the black community. But it’s not the only voice Picture Quote #1

One of the Republicans’ major products is dream making. People are dying to get into this country... not out of it Picture Quote #1

The Democratic Party has taken the black community for granted and said, ‘This is the most loyal constituency we have. They’re not going anywhere.’ But the Republican Party has said, ‘That’s the most loyal constituency Democrats have. They’re not going anywhere. We’ve got to win without them.’ Picture Quote #1

Education is a bipartisan issue that concern all communities of color and should be first, last and always about the student learning Picture Quote #1

We have seen the Democrat solution to an energy crisis; it’s called California Picture Quote #1

Too many Americans live by Republican principles of faith, family, hope and opportunity, but vote for Democrats out of sheer habit Picture Quote #1

I’m not driven to get back into politics. It’s not on my top five things to do before I die, but saying that, I may be in politics in the next year or the next ten years. I’ve been on the front line for 12 years, four in state government, eight on the national level Picture Quote #1
