I might not be the same, but that's not important/No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it

We should scrub all of our federal regulations to find responsible ways to make life easier to small businesses, i want to be a small business president.

We have seen a man dragged to death in Texas simply because he was black. A young man murdered in Wyoming simply because he was gay. In the last year alone, we've seen the shootings of African Americans, Asian Americans, and Jewish children simply because of who they were. This is not the American way. We must draw the line. Without delay, we must pass the Hate Crimes Prevention Act and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. And we should reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.

Over time, the more we bring China into the world, the more the world will bring freedom to China.

Sometimes when people are under stress, they hate to think, and it's the time when they most need to think.

Some day we hope to liberate every man on earth from the tendency as old as human history to identify our strength and manhood with the ability to control the lives, limit the chances, and doom the dreams of women and girls.
