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

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.

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!

If anyone accuses me of lying, I’ll simply say I’m not lying, which is just an extension of the overall lying strategy.

A man who loves you will never make you second guess his commitment.

I do believe there are monstrous and evil acts, but I do not believe those who commit such acts are monsters or evil.

Above all, always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world.

If you want to start something great, you need commitment. But if you want to finish that something great, you need consistency.

Make yourself a priority. At the end of the day, you are your longest commitment.

Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionary’s life. When one commits oneself to the struggle, it must be for a lifetime.

It is a crime not to try to move ahead with fear, leaving your dreams in the middle. Your fear makes you commit this crime.

All the men I fall for seem to have a commitment problem.
