“That the policies – from energy to labor policies, trade policies, government policies relating to debt and deficits are all aligning in such a way that America, far from being one of the places people are running from, is a place people are going to come to and add jobs.”

I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs a repair, I’ll fix it.

Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. He believes America’s role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe a strong America must – and will – lead the future.

If people are looking for someone who has never changed their mind and is unwilling to admit they make mistakes, that’s not me.

We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world.

If you want to serve the country, you recognize it’s rough and tumble. And it’s nothing like serving your country in the military.

My doctrine is as I’ve described, which is confidence in our cause, clarity in our purpose, and resolve in our might.

You don’t have to be larger than life to be a hero, just larger than yourself.

Donald Trump trying to do to the American voter what he did to the people that signed up for this course: He’s making promises he has no intention of keeping.

We have a president, who I think is a nice guy, but he spent too much time at Harvard, perhaps.

Opportunity expands when there is excellence and choice in education, when taxes are lowered, when every citizen has affordable, portable health insurance and when constitutional freedoms are preserved.

Christianity is not the faith of the complacent, the comfortable or of the timid. It demands and creates heroic souls.

That said, your values will not always be the object of public admiration. In fact, the more you live by your beliefs, the more you will endure the censure of the world.

What you believe, what you value, how you live – matters.

What we have, what we wish we had – ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed, investments won, investments lost, elections won, elections lost – these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us.

We’ve got to strengthen our military long-term. We don’t know what the world is going to throw at us down the road.

I’m not running, I’m not planning on running, and I’ve got nothing new on that story.

She’s got all the wildflower energy in her veins.

Life goes by very fast. And the worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, that you have no energy in, that you’re not creative with and you’re not thinking of the future. To me, might as well be dead.

Love is the energy of life.

I call my energy back when I stop trying to figure out subliminal messages.

Keep the same energy for joy that you pour into your disappointment.

Go where the energy flows.

It’s necessary to have an energy that carries you forward. You need the will to live, to have a great curiosity. To look for the best in life, to find new interests.

Imagine what you could be doing with all the energy you give away to people who don’t want what you want.
