I am my own man. I governed as a conservative, and I govern effectively.

I ended Affirmative Action by executive order and replaced it with a leadership model that created more opportunities for African-American and Hispanic students.

I'm a grinder....I've never taken more than a week off in my adult life. I truly believe work is a virtue, it gives you purpose.

If you could bring to me a majority of people to say that we're going to have $10 of spending cuts for $1 of revenue enhancement - put me in, Coach.

Barack Obama became president, and he abandoned Iraq. He left, and when he left Al Qaida was done for. ISIS was created because of the void that we left, and that void now exists as a caliphate the size of Indiana.

We need to engage with the Arab world.It is not a serious proposal to say that - to the people that you're asking for their support that they can't even come to the country to even engage in a dialogue with us.

By blaming others, we fail to find the real solutions to our problems and we do not carry out our own responsibilities.
