“For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options.”

I don’t ever remember them telling us or teaching us that the only way we could be more successful is if other people were less successful. They never inculcated the belief that somehow, in order for us to climb the ladder, other people have to come down from the ladder.

If Donald Trump builds the wall the way he builds Trump Towers, he’ll be using illegal immigrant labor to do it.

If Donald Trump is our nominee, it could be the end of the Republican Party. It will split us and splinter us in a way that we may never be able to recover. And the Democrats will be joyful about it. It’s not going to happen.

Donald Trump’s views on Vladimir Putin, I think, are troubling. And I don’t think he fundamentally understands exactly who Vladimir Putin is or exactly what he’s trying to do. So, these are the kinds of things that I think in detail you need to begin to understand.

Do not be afraid to offer ideas that draw opposition. Remember, if no one is against your idea, then your idea probably doesn’t do anything.

Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for.

They’re calling me. I’m getting nonstop e-mails and calls now from people that have been scammed by Donald Trump. And their stories are heartbreaking.

I owe a debt to America that I will never be able to repay.

I don’t really like labels in politics, but I will gladly accept the label of conservatism.

The idea that more taxes and more government spending is the best way to help hardworking middle class taxpayers – that’s an old idea that’s failed every time it’s been tried.

[Donald Trump twitts] “Lightweight Marco Rubio was working hard last night.” This is true. “The problem is he’s chalker and once a chalker, always a choker,” I guess that’s what he meant to say. He spelled choker, c-h-o-k-e-r.

National security – the military is the first thing we should spend money on. You have to fully fund that first. And then you should be paying for everything else.

The government can’t change the weather.

Despite our differences, I know that both Republicans and Democrats love America.

Unfortunately, President Obama’s failed policies of new regulations, higher taxes, and Obamacare and his anti-business rhetoric have hit Hispanics especially hard. Big government really hurts those who are trying to make it.

And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

My message to little kids who aspire to be anything they want to be is to listen to their parents.

For me, as a 14-year-old aspiring to be in the NBA, I wanted to hear from players.

A village in a country which is taking pains to become altogether standardized and pure, which aspires to succeed Victorian England as the chief mediocrity of the world, is no longer merely provincial, no longer downy and restful in its leaf-shadowed ignorance. It is a force seeking to conquer the earth.

The real guru is the pure intellect within; and the purified, deeply aspiring mind is the disciple.

Nature that framed us of four elements, warring within our breasts for regiment, doth teach us all to have aspiring minds.

Grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies, until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own God… and where can you go from there?

And sometimes we aspire to have these ideas in our heads of what perfection is.

Whereas the graphic novel is now being held up as something to aspire to and as something that’s respectable for adults to read.
