Don't let anybody tell you it's corporations and businesses that create jobs.

We are the United States of America. And it's our job to rein in the excesses of capitalism so that it doesn't run amok and doesn't cause the kind of inequities we're seeing in our economic system. But we would be making a grave mistake to turn our backs on what built the greatest middle class in the history.

If there is truth or merit in the criticism, try to learn from it. Otherwise, let it roll right off you.

Part of the problem that we have currently in the Middle East is that[Bashar] Assad has hung on to power with the very strong support of Russia and Iran and with the proxy of Hezbollah being there basically fighting his battles.

I can only say that I'm certainly relieved that my late father never did business with Donald Trump. He provided a good middle-class life for us, but the people he worked for, he expected the bargain to be kept on both sides.

Do what is necessary to be resilient. You will get knocked down. What matters is that you get back up.

While there are few problems in today's world that the United States can solve alone, there are even fewer that can be solved without the United States.
