  • At Harvard College, I discovered political philosophy as a way of life.

  • Inflammatory passion and selfish interest characterizes most men, whereas ambition characterizes men who pursue and hold national office. Such men rise from the people through a process of self-selection, since politics is a dirty business that discourages all but the most ambitious.

  • A lot of my opposition to President Obama's policies had behind them 5, 6, 7 years of bad policies that made America less safe in my regard.

  • The Islamic State is dangerous, a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic is even more so.

  • Ambition characterizes and distinguishes national officeholders from other kinds of human beings.

  • It's important to remember that whatever the presidential candidates of either party say, they will have to interact with the United States Congress, particularly the Senate, when it comes to crafting policy.

  • I'll tell you the truth, even in an election year, and that's what people are ready for.

  • Donald Trump, like most Americans, like most Republicans, believe in protecting America's core national interests. He believes as do I, as do most Americans, that we aren't yet doing enough to take the fight to the Islamic State.That the intervention in Libya was ill-considered and slapdash at the time. And we're living with the consequences of it now. That we have to get tougher when it comes to our intelligence and law enforcement practices to stop Islamic terrorism.

  • I never go ballistic, I'm always measured and tempered.

  • Men are simple creatures. It doesn't take much to please us. The problem is women.
