“You cannot give up on the American dream. We cannot allow our fears and our disappointments to lead us into silence and into inaction.”

The most important thing of all is my parents were able to leave all four of their children better off than themselves. That story has a name, it’s called the American dream.

Everything that I will ever accomplish, I owe to God, to my parent’s sacrifices, and to the United States of America.

Every single one of us is the descendant of a go-getter. Of dreamers and of believers.

Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer.

My Dad used to tell us: ‘En este pais, ustedes van a poder lograr todas las cosas que nosotros no pudimos’ ‘In this country, you will be able to accomplish all the things we never could.’

Any time you can degrade or take away the top leadership of an organization, it’s a positive step forward.

The most important institution in society is the family. If the family breaks down, society breaks down.

Donald Trump is not a Republican. Donald Trump is not a conservative. Donald Trump is trying to pull off the biggest scam in American political history, basically a con job, where he’s trying to take over the Republican Party by telling people he’s someone who he is not.

We’re special because dreams that are impossible anywhere else, come true here. That’s not just my story. That’s your story. That’s our story.

I’ll support Donald [Trump] if he’s the Republican nominee.

Let me just say the rules are what they are in the Republican Party. You have to have X-number of delegates in order to be the nominee. And if you don’t have those number of delegates, then there’s a process in place.Here is what would be a calamity, for Donald Trump to become our nominee.

The vast majority of the American people are hard-working taxpayers who take responsibility for their families, go to work every day, they pay their mortgage on time, they volunteer in the community.

I’m not going to change who I am. I’m not going to change why I’m running… I’m running for president [in 2016], and I’m running because we can’t afford another four years like the last eight years.

When I’m president of the United States, we’re going to have a VA that cares more about our veterans than about the bureaucrats who work at the VA.

I am but a generation removed from poverty and despair. Where would I be today if there had never been an America?

The truth is every problem can’t be solved by government. Many are caused by the moral breakdown in our society. And the answers to those challenges lie primarily in our families and our faiths, not our politicians.

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.

The best advice comes from people who don’t give advice.

Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.

Never give anyone the advice to buy or sell shares, because the most benevolent price of advice can turn out badly.

Competition gives me energy. It keeps me focused.

What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.

It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses.

When you have good friends you’ve been around, every time they talk, you don’t give them your full attention.
