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

If the Republican Party stands for individual liberty, if we defend the Bill of Rights, if we stand for keeping this country safe, then we deserve to win, and if we don’t, we deserve to lose. It shouldn’t be – it’s not just a game of blue team/red team. It is actually about making a difference in people’s lives.

The last 15 years, there has been no recorded warming. Contrary to all the theories that they are expounding, there should have been warming over the last 15 years. It hasn’t happened.

I’m a maniac, and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly. And Ben [Carson] you’re a terrible surgeon.

The principles Donald Trump is focused on are exactly the right principles: more choice, more competition, lower costs, lower premiums.

One of the problems in Washington is there are far too many politicians who desperately just want to get re-elected.

The more liked you are in Washington, the less liked you are in the rest of America, and vice versa.

I oppose amnesty, I oppose citizenship, I oppose legalization for illegal aliens. I always have and I always will.

If we want to defend the country, we have to defend against who’s coming in.

The National Enquirer is complete garbage, it is total lies, it was planted by Donald Trump’s henchmen, and I don’t think the people of Wisconsin or the people of America have any interest in tabloid trash.

Everyone seems to have internalized the fact that you can say anything you want at a televised debate, and only a tiny fraction of the audience will ever see a fact-check. So why not claim the moon is square?

There are more words in the IRS code than there are in the Bible. And not a one of them is as good.

We are the change we’re waiting for.

Today, the global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers. It used to be [that] it is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier.

I am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll work with Martians. If – and the if is critical – they’re willing to cut spending and reduce the debt.

Donald [Trump] is a charming person. He can be fun. He can make you laugh. But he can turn on you. And get nasty and personal and vicious.

I’m not going to impugn anyone’s integrity. I’m not going to attack their character. And, in fact, I will happily praise both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio as men who I admire, as people who I’m not going to go personal with them.

All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.

To see someone you love, in a bad setting, is one of the great barometers of gratitude.

Like just now. Like now. How is it possible? Can you love someone more and more and at the same time, all the time, love them as much as it’s possible to love someone?

I thought that despite all the wounds and all the pains it could cause I wanted to dream again, and love someone with all my heart.

How do I think of you? As someone I want to be with. As someone as young as me, but “older,” if that makes sense. As someone I like to look at, not just because you’re good to look at, but because just looking at you makes me smile and feel happier.

When someone tells you, ‘I love you,’ and then you feel, ‘Oh, I must be worthy after all,’ that’s an illusion. That’s not true. Or someone says, ‘I hate you,’ and you think, ‘Oh, God, I knew it; I’m not very worthy,’ that’s not true either.

Yet, isn’t it strange, isn’t it weird, how we can KNOW that someone is not behaving in the way we imagine, and at the same time we can be totally convinced that he is!

Even now, sometimes on street corners… when I meet someone, I see your shadow.
