Armey's Axioms: 40 Hard-Earned Truths from Politics, Faith and Life

By Dick Armey

Acclaim for Armey's Axioms

"As I read Armeys Axioms, my mind immediately went to the man from Springfield, Abraham Lincoln, who cloaked brilliant wisdom with grace and good humor that had its roots in the heartland of America. Without question, Dick Armey is one of the most brilliant and principled men ever to serve in the leadership of the United States House of Representatives. His axioms are a delightful read for anyone seeking to understand the faith, the patriotism, and the integrity that has made America great."
Dr. M. G. "Pat" Robertson

"In Armeys Axioms, Dick Armey gives us more than his great sense of humor and Texas-size common sense. With a creative and personal touch, it is the best advice Ive seen for those who want to make it in Washington, and even better for those who want to make it in life."
Bob Dole

"We Americans like to cut to the chase when it comes to difficult issues. In Armeys Axioms, Dick Armey does just that. By skillfully breaking down complex social and moral issues, he presents us with such simple and direct answers that its hard not to agree with his logic. Wrapped in wry wit and humor, the book is wise, insightful, and above all, compelling."

"In just ten years, Dick Armey moved from C-SPAN viewer to Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives. In Armeys Axioms he presents some of the lessons he has learned from his years in the House and from country music. . . . Its a good read, packed with good advice."
