“The truth is, the greatest tool to lift children and families from poverty is one that decreases the probability of child poverty by 82%. But it isn’t a government spending program. It’s called marriage.”

Donald Trump is never going to be the nominee. So, I’m not worried about a hypothetical that’s never going to happen.

Around the world, America’s influence has declined while this president [Barack Obama] has destroyed our military, our allies no longer trust us, and our adversaries no longer respect us.

If we capture any of these ISIS killers alive, they are going to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and we’re going to find out everything they know, because when I’m president, unlike Barack Obama, we will keep this country safe.

What is the conservative movement? It’s pretty straightforward. We believe that the way prosperity is created is when people have the freedom and the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

Florida is not going to vote for a con artist like Donald Trump.

Welders make more money than philosophers. We need more welders and less philosophers.

I think that the government of [Nicolas] Maduro has argued to stage a coup in Venezuela, that this is obviously a coup against the country’s democratic institutions.

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.

I was probably tall as a child, but I just stopped growing.

This is the age in which language and movement develop. The child must be safeguarded in order that these activities may develop freely.

The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.

Suddenly, the child becomes very sensitive to the rudeness and humiliations which he had previously suffered with patient indifference.

At three years of age, the child has already laid the foundations of the human personality and needs the special help of education in the school.

When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.

When the child begins to think and to make use of the written language to express his rudimentary thinking, he is ready for elementary work; and this fitness is a question not of age or other incidental circumstance but of mental maturity.
