The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.

If I were a candidate for running, I'd say, "Look at what the economy has done." It's strong. We've created a lot of jobs. I'd be telling people that the Democrats will raise your taxes. I'd be reminding people that tax cuts have worked in terms of stimulating the economy. I'd be reminding people there's a philosophical difference between those who want to raise taxes and have the government spend the money, and those of us who say, "You get to spend the money the way you want to see fit. It's your money."

There's no question that the minute I got elected, the storm clouds on the horizon were getting nearly directly overhead.

Liberty is the right and hope of all humanity.

You've just got to do what you think is right, and just make the decisions based upon noble causes. And a noble cause is peace and security and freedom.

We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of our great nation.

The best way to defend America in this world we live in is to stay on the offense.
