             **SPECIAL VICE-PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ISSUE**
 
Notes  
 
1.  There are sure to be typoes and bugoes throughout, and
    I would appreciate it if people would tell me about them.
 
2.  Eventually I would like to "sort" these quotes into some reasonable 
    categories. Any volunteers for this job?
 
3.  If anyone has sources for any of the quotes without sources,
    please tell me.
 
4.  Could someone with old issues of "The Quayle Quarterly" go through
    and see if they may have published quotes which I don't yet have.
    (I am toying with the idea of shelling out $36 for a complete set...)
 
5.  Not all of these quotes, are "funny" per se, but each, in its
    own unique way, does define and help us better understand the
    complex person we know as Mr. Vice President.
 
6.  Play the "VP for a Day" game, and try to find the one mispelled word
    I have included in this edition.  The winner will receive a free
    collection of Dan Quayle quotes!

                   (reported in Esquire, 8/92)
 
Why wouldn't an enhanced deterrent, a more stable peace, a better
prospect to denying the ones who enter conflict in the first place
to have a reduction of offensive systems and an introduction to
defensive capability.  I believe that is the route this country
will eventually go.

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance

Target prices?  How that works?  I know quite a bit about farm policy.
I come from Indiana, which is a farm state.  Deficiency payments -
which are the key - that is what gets money into the farmer's hands.
We got loan, uh, rates, we got target, uh, prices, uh, I have worked
very closely with my senior colleague, (Indiana Sen.) Richard Lugar,
making sure that the farmers of Indiana are taken care of.

I'm not going to focus on what I have done in the past
what I stand for, what I articulate to the American people.
The American people will judge me on what I am saying and what I 
have done in the last 12 years in the Congress.

Japan is an important ally of ours. Japan and the United States of 
the Western industrialized capacity, 60 percent of the GNP,
two countries. That's a statement in and of itself.

Who would have predicted... that Dubcek, who brought the tanks in in

Unbelievable.

[I will never have] another Jimmy Carter grain embargo, Jimmy,
Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter grain embargo, Jimmy Carter grain embargo.
		-- Vice President Dan Quayle during the Bentsen debate
 
Certainly, I know what to do, and when I am Vice President -- and
I will be -- there will be contingency plans under different sets of
situations. And I tell you what, I'm not going to go out and hold a news
conference about it. I'm going to put it in a safe and keep it there! Does
that answer your question?
		-- Vice President Dan Quayle, when asked what he 
                   would do if he assumed the Presidency,  10/10/88

                   (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

it is, because in 1988 the question is whether we're going forward to 
tomorrow or whether we're going to go past to the -- to the back!
		-- Vice President Dan Quayle, 8/17/88

You call home.  You call home to mother and father and say, "I'd like
to get into the National Guard."
		-- Vice President Dan Quayle, 8/19/88

	Don't forget about the importance of the family. It begins with
the family. We're not going to redefine the family. Everybody knows the
definition of the family. [Meaningful pause] A child. [Meaningful pause] A
mother. [Meaningful pause] A father. There are other arrangements of the
family, but that is a family and family values.
	I've been very blessed with wonderful parents and a wonderful
family, and I am proud of my family. Anybody turns to their family. I have
a very good family. I'm very fortunate to have a very good family. I
believe very strongly in the family. It's one of the things we have in
our platform, is to talk about it.
		-- Vice President Dan Quayle, 8/27/88
                   (reported in Esquire, 8/92)
 
	I suppose three important things certainly come to my mind that we
want to say thank you. The first would be our family. Your family, my
family -- which is composed of an immediate family of a wife and three
children, a larger family with grandparents and aunts and uncles. We all
have our family, whichever that may be ... The very beginnings of
civilization, the very beginnings of this country, goes back to the family.
And time and time again, I'm often reminded, especially in this
Presidential campaign, of the importance of a family, and what a family
means to this country. And so when you pay thanks I suppose the first thing
that would come to mind would be to thank the Lord for the family.

                   holiday, 11/6/88 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

Okay, I won't open it until then
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle after having been 
                   presented with an empty box that was to contain 
                   a gift from a sailing team in South America. 
                   He was told that the gift was not ready yet, 
                   but that it would be presented to him when they 
                   arrived in the United States. 
 
You always learn something by reading the classics.  Particularly The 
Prince.  I go through and look at this from this intellectual point of 
view.  Machiavelli had these three classes of mind.  The first class was 
the person that was creative enough to be leader and be able to lead a 
great nation without much help.  The second class of mind was one that 
wasn't creative but could take ideas, put people around him, and be able 
to lead nations foward.  And the third class of people didn't really know 
much of anything.  And they were the worst kind of leaders, because not 
only were they not creative, but they didn't know what was right or wrong, 
and they just sort of went by whatever they felt like. 
I've tried to figure out where I am.  I know I'm not the first because I don't
think I have the creativeness that Machiavelli talks about.  If I go back and
reread it I might figure it out exactly where I put myself.  I'm somewhere
between two and one.

                   "The Prince," 9/28/88 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

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

                   (reported in Esquire, 8/92)
 
Every once in a while, you let a word or phrase out and you want to
catch it and bring it back. You can't do that. It's gone, gone
forever.
		-- Vice President Dan Quayle, 5/4/89 
                   (reported in Esquire, 8/92)
        
I'm going to be a vice president very much like George Bush was. 
He proved to be a very effective vice president, perhaps the most effective
we've had in a couple of hundred years.
		-- Vice President Dan Quayle
 
I would like to express my sympathy to all those impacted by this disaster.

Claus.' And the only thing that I could think is that I believe in
George Bush.

We are leaders of the world of the space program.
We have been the leaders of the world of our... of the space program
and we're not going to continue where we're going to go, not withstanding 
the Soviet Union's demise and collapse - the former Soviet Union - we now
have independent republics which used to be called the Soviet Union.
Space is the next frontier to be explored. And we're going to explore.
Think of all the things we rely upon in space today: communications 
from... Japan, detection of potential ballistic missile attacks. Ballistic 
missiles are still here. Other nations do have ballistic missiles. How do
you think we were able to detect some of the Scud missiles and things like 
that?  Space, reconnaissance, weather, communications - you name it. We
use space a lot today.

character who supposedly epitomizes today's intelligent, highly paid,

do it. Even though our cultural leaders in Hollywood, network TV, the
national newspapers routinely jeer at them, I think that most of us in
this room know that some things are good, and other things are wrong.
