The less oil the world uses, the less important the region that has so much of it becomes.

The world needs a strong America.

Let me remind you all that the first task of American foreign policy is to reduce threats to the United States.

Economic growth is necessary to keep the promise - enormously important to individual Americans - that each generation will have the opportunity to become more prosperous than the preceding one, the popular term for which is 'the American dream.

The values, the programs, the formula, the determination, and the patriotism responsible for America's past success are still here to be tapped.

The American political system is so porous, it's so open, it's so frustrating for those who are trying to make policy.

People do not change when you tell them they should; they change when they tell themselves they must.
