Our global future depends on the willingness of every nation to invest in its people, especially women and children.

A lot of the people in history who I really admire lived before the hyperinformation age we're living in. Even if they were governing or solving problems in consequential periods, like the Civil War or the world wars or the Great Depression or the Cold War, they had a period of time and space to actually think, to be private and you read their biographies, and they had time to think about what was happening and how to respond. I don't think human nature has changed in the last 50-150 years, but the stresses, the demands on those of us in public life have just exploded.

I look for people who have raw intelligence and a great work ethic and loyalty, and I can quickly identify people who have the right ingredients. But sometimes it is more difficult to get them to accept the fact that they can take on increasing responsibility. Oftentimes individuals will decide how far [they] go by how much work they're willing to put in and how quick they are to ask for help. Too many people have this deep-seated fear that if they ask for help, they will be thought less of.

America is not at war with Islam. And it is a mistake and it plays into the hands of the terrorists to act as though we are.

Look, [Hillary Clinton] is been proven to be a liar on so many different ways. This is just another lie.

I can't compete with making promises you can't keep.

When families are strong, America is strong.
