“Stupid people are ruining America.” — Herman Cain Quote

“Stupid people are ruining America.”

“One of the things that I did before I ran for president is I was a professional speaker. Not a motivational speaker - an inspirational speaker. Motivation comes from within. You have to be inspired. That's what I do. I inspire people, I inspire the public, I inspire my staff. I inspired the organizations I took over to want to succeed.”

“I ran for president in order to be able to try to change Washington D.C. from the inside. Our federal government is broken.”

“I would let my kids watch this stuff way before I'd let them watch something like 'Full House' that I think would make them stupid.”

“Am I about to feel really, really stupid?”

“It's not my business to think about the business; it's my business to think about the character. Sure, there have been times in my career where I wished I was more popular or more this or more that - but that's just stupid.”
