“I don't believe we can get very far, with leaders who write off half the nation as a bunch of victims who never take responsibility for their own lives.”

“They will tell you that the Americans who sleep in the streets and beg for food got there because they’re all lazy or weak of spirit. That the inner-city children who are trapped in dilapidated schools can’t learn and won’t learn and so we should just give up on them entirely. That the innocent people being slaughtered and expelled from their homes half a world away are somebody else’s problem to take care of.”

“If we're serious about building an economy that lasts, we have got to get serious about education. We are going to have to pick up our games and raise our standards.”

“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help... Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business - you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
