“Only FREEDOM has ever been the answer to poverty.”

Isn’t it fitting that so many of those who have contempt for the private sector will soon find themselves back in it?

Free enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty, to help build a strong middle class, to help educate our kids, and to make our lives better than all the programs of government combined.

I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon.

Mr. President, you were elected to lead. You chose to follow. And now it’s time for you to get out of the way.

I see an America where poverty is defeated by opportunity, not enabled by a government check.

America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home.

I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that’s the America millions of Americans believe in. That’s the America I love.

I’m not familiar precisely with what I said, but I’ll stand by what I said, whatever it was.

The answer for healthcare is market incentives, not healthcare by a Godzilla-sized government bureaucracy.

We still believe in the America that is a land of opportunity and a beacon of freedom. We believe in the America that challenges each of us to be better and bigger than ourselves.

I didn’t talk to anybody and say, “I’m going to do a speech, do you go some ideas?” This is something I did on my own because I care very deeply about the country.

I know what it takes to balance budgets. I have done it my entire life.

We’re all a nation that believes we’re children of the same god.

Moral certainty, clear standards, and a commitment to spiritual ideals will set you apart in a world that searches for meaning.

I believe the tax on capital gains should be zero.

It’s time for the party of big ideas, not the party of Big Brother!

I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Innovation happens when people are given the freedom to ask questions and the resources and power to find the answers.

To keep our faces toward change, and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate, is strength undefeatable.

You are free to choose, but the choices you make today will determine what you have, be, and do in the tomorrow of your life.

The only security of all is in a free press.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

When one is not expressing himself, he is not free.

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is Freedom, in water there is bacteria.
