I was born in the middle of the century in the middle of the country, a classic Baby Boomer.

I saw my father march with Martin Luther King.

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

There is no day more joyful in my life than when I see all my family around me. That's the best it gets.

I'm very much engaged in the political battles, but I'm doing it as a supporter of Republicans out of conservatism rather than an active candidate.

The multiculturalism movement must be unmasked for the fraud that it is. There are superior cultures, and ours is one of them.

I will not cut our military budget by a trillion dollars, which is a combination of the budget cuts Barack Obama has, as well as the sequestration cuts. That, in my view, is making our future less certain and less secure.

My whole life has been learning to lead, from my parents, to my education, to the experience I had in the private sector, to helping run the Olympics, and then of course helping guide a state.

China can be our partner, but that doesn't mean that they can just roll all over us and steal our jobs on an unfair basis.

I can tell you, Obamacare, I have been stunned by the pratfalls associated with its implementation. I simply can't understand how a president that had such an effective technology campaign and has such support among the technology community members could have put in place the implementation of Obamacare as ineffectively as he did.

It's fashionable in some circles to be pessimistic about America, about conservative solutions, about the Republican Party. I utterly reject that pessimism.

On our watch, the conversation with a would-be suicide bomber will not begin with the words, 'You have the right to remain silent.'

My leadership will end the Obama era and begin a new era of American prosperity.

As president, I will create 12 million new jobs.

Some people in America feel that Pakistan is being nice to us, and that we should walk away fro mthem. But Pakistan is important to the region, to the world and to us, because Pakistan has 100 nuclear warheads and they're rushing to build a lot more. They'll have more than Great Britain sometime in the -- in the relatively near future.

This President takes his inspiration from the capitals of Europe; we look to the cities and small towns of America. This President puts his faith in government. We put our faith in the American people.

I care about a hundred percent of the American people. I want a hundred percent of the American people to have a bright and prosperous future.

To win the nomination, you speak to people who vote in Republican primaries. And they tend not to be millennials or minorities... When I win the nomination and show up at a black church, they say, 'Where have you been Mr. Romney?'

Look, rich people and business people do well whether Republicans or Democrats are in charge.
