“We are witnessing a great awakening. Millions of Texans, millions of Americans are rising up to reclaim our country, to defend liberty and to restore the Constitution.”

We`re saying the Washington establishment run behind Donald Trump.

We will stop the terrorist attacks before they occur because we will not be prisoners to political correctness. Rather, we will speak the truth. Border security is national security and we will not be admitting jihadists as refugees.

I have never supported amnesty, and I led the fight against Chuck Schumer’s gang of eight amnesty legislation in the Senate.

I do think we should be focused on substance and record. If you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, who opposes citizenship for the 12 million people here illegally, I’m the only candidate in the race who opposes that.

If Donald Trump is president, he will appoint liberals.

It’s not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump, telling his supporters “punch that guy in the face.” I think everyone candidate ought to aspire toward civility, towards decency, towards bringing us together. I don’t think we should be using angry and hateful rhetoric.

I believe the American people are looking for someone to speak the truth.

We don’t have storm troopers that just knock on the door of every American citizen. We don’t do that for any crime. But when we have evidence that a particular person has committed a crime, we send law enforcement to apprehend them.

What I’m encouraging President Trump and the Cabinet and congressional leaders to do, is let’s keep our promises. Let’s do what we said we would do, and that’s what each and every one of you can hold all of us accountable for.

I treat him [Donald Trump] as an entertainer. I laugh it off. It’s like going to the circus and seeing the acrobats and the dancing bears. He’s willing to say things that are patently false.

While there may have been an age difference, Josh Duggar’s transgressions are far less an affront to God than what gays do with each other.

The essence of the conservative message should be we want a dynamic nation where anybody with nothing can achieve anything.

Ronald Reagan reignited the American economy, rebuilt the Military, bankrupted the Soviet Union and defeated Soviet Communism. I will do the same thing.

Washington D.C. politics is like Hollywood for ugly people.

But you know what? There’s far more pain involved in rolling over, far more pain in hiding.

Carli Fiorina thinks the answer for Social Security and Medicare is…zero-based budgeting! Christ. People of a certain age are all banging their heads on the table right now.

Part of spiritual and emotional maturity is recognizing that it’s not like you’re going to try to fix yourself and become a different person. You remain the same person, but you become awakened.

Breakups have a way of shaking us awake and helping us see what we really want vs. what we are willing to settle for.

Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake & help us see we are worth so much more than we’re settling for.

To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man’s-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.

We each need to make our lion’s roar – to persevere with unshakable courage when faced with all manner of doubts and sorrows and fears – to declare our right to awaken.

Anything we experience, no matter how challenging, can become an open pathway to awakening.

Use whatever has come to awaken patience, understanding, and love.

I work out with my trainer or do an hour of pilates at 6 or 7AM. I’m done by the time my household is awake.
