Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me.

I'm comfortable moving into the role of elder person.

Through adoption, Americans can forever change not only a child's life but also their own.

I think the platform ought to be pro-life. It is the basis of the Republican Party. People have got to understand that abortion is not a contraceptive.

We have to find the origin of the problem. The origin of the problem in many African countries is that you've got state bureaucracies which are too bloated.

Look, history is interesting. I read three books on George Washington last year. And my opinion is that if they're still analyzing the first president, the 43rd president ought to be doing what he thinks is right. And eventually, historians will come and realize whether... the decisions I made made sense.

I regret that a private comment I made to the vice presidential candidate made it through the public airways.
