Donald Trump just happens to be one of those who endorsed me I do not want to see as president of the United States.

Trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America.

Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation.

We're going to have to rely on the world of Islam, major Islamic nations, to take the lead in helping promote a very different view of Islam - peace and understanding, as opposed to the radicalization going on. The Saudis and UAE and Qatar and others are going to have to take a leading role in changing hearts and minds in the world of Islam.

I think I had a superb campaign team. And I know it's always expected that if you lose, people point to the campaign team and say, 'Gee, they didn't do their job well.' If you win, they're all brilliant. And the team, in my view, did a superb job.

What's at the heart of my faith is a belief that there's a creator. That we're all children of the same God. And that, fundamentally, the relationship you have with your spouse is important and eternal.

A president must serve only the common cause of the people of the United States.

I can never predict what the markets will do. Sometimes it does the exact opposite of what I would have expected.

Free enterprise cannot only make us better off financially, it can make us better people.

One of the best things that can happen to any cause, to any people, is to have Bill Clinton as its advocate. That is how needy and neglected causes have become global initiatives.

When President Kennedy challenged Americans to go to the moon, the question wasn't whether we'd get there, it was only when we'd get there.

We Americans have always felt a special kinship with the future.

If I were to offer advice to any president of the United States, it would be this: do whatever you can do to keep America the most prosperous and free and powerful nation on earth.

I have seen American determination in people like Debbi Sommers. She runs a furniture rental business for conventions in Las Vegas. When 9/11 hit, and again, when the recession tanked the conventions business, she didn't give up, close down, or lay off her people. She taught them not just to rent furniture, but also to manufacture it.

I do recognize and I feel very comfortable with people taking a good look at how I've lived my life, and obviously my faith is a big part of that.

I think we should have the majority of the party's voters decide who they want as their nominee.

Happiness, for me, is a function of the number of people I love, and I think joy and happiness is directly related to how many people are in our lives and how deeply we are bonded with those people.

People don't want to be told what type of insurance they have to have.

The big story of 2013, a very distressing year, is that Americans continue not to be able to find the full-time jobs they need, and that's something which the president has to recognize as the first priority of his administration.

The world relies upon, and America must rely upon, a strong military.

Humanity is not common in its views.

There's no question in my mind that I think I would have been a better president than Barack Obama has been.

I'm a pretty analytical guy, all right?

It's a great experience. If you get a chance to run for president, do it.
