Responsibility Quotes

• Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown.

The folks who are not - who are able-bodied, who are adults, who don't have dependents, there's a desire to make sure that they get to work and that they aren't basically gaming the system. But the reality is, they have a responsibility to either be involved in work or education, or they're limited in terms of their benefits.

• In the end, as much as the responsibility seems to lie with Beijing, it also lies with the global consumer.
