1. More Quayle quotes (how can you give just one?)
What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.

I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.

I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change.

I stand by all the misstatements that I've made.

One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is "to be prepared."

For NASA, space is still a high priority.

It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.

Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts
