Never let the other fellow set the agenda.

You don't need to know who's playing on the White House tennis court to be a good president

It's not appeasement to talk to your enemies.

Sometimes an active policy is best advanced by doing nothing until the right time - or never.

When you have energy companies like Shell and British Petroleum, both of which are perhaps represented in this room, saying there is a problem with excess carbon dioxide emission, I think we ought to listen.

This is what happens, when, for the first time in modern history, a candidate resorts to lawsuits to try to overturn the outcome of an election for president.

If you're not gonna pull the trigger, don't point the gun.
