I'm here today because our country needs a change in leadership, ... We need a leader who is really dedicated to creating millions of high-paying jobs all across the country.

Boys, there ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You've got to say, "I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it." It's called perseverance.

The ultimate test of practical leadership is the realization of intended, real change that meets people's enduring needs.

I forgot to shake hands and be friendly. It was an important lesson about leadership.

To succeed today, you have to set priorities, decide what you stand for.

The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being.
