If you want to know who we are, who America is, how we respond to evil-that's it: selflessly, compassionately, unafraid.

America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.

What I'm interested in doing after I get out of the presidency is to make sure that I'm working with that next generation so that they understand you can't just rely on inspiration.

To try to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions on issues that have nothing to do with the budget.

I don't presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. But I feel very strongly that whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing.

I won Iowa not because the demographics dictated that I would win Iowa. It was because I spent 87 days going to every small town and fair and fish fry and BFW Hall, and there were some counties where I might have lost, but maybe I lost by 20 points instead of 50 points. There's some counties maybe I won, that people didn't expect, because people had a chance to see you and listen to you and get a sense of who you stood for and who you were fighting for.

Turns out I'm really good at killing people. Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.
