"America has much greatness left in her."
"Laws don't really restrain people. Ninety-eight percent of people follow a virtuous course with or without laws."
"What America needs is not just another politician or more promises. What America needs is a revival."
"Government can supply bread, but it can't mend a broken spirit."
"'Peace through Strength' only works if you have and show strength."
"After all the sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq, why do we find ourselves in a more dangerous world?"
"We should revoke passports from any Americans or dual citizens who are fighting with ISIS."
"If I had been in President Obama's shoes, I would have acted more decisively and strongly against ISIS."
"If I had been told to get out of the street as a teenager, there would have been a distinct possibility that I might have smarted off. But, I wouldn't have expected to be shot."
"There is a legitimate role for the police to keep the peace, but there should be a difference between a police response and a military response."
"Most police officers are good cops and good people."
"Washington has incentivized the militarization of local police precincts by using federal dollars to help municipal governments build what are essentially small armies - where police departments compete to acquire military gear that goes far beyond what most of Americans think of as law enforcement."
"I've been fighting amidst a lot of opposition from both Hillary Clinton as well as some Republicans who wanted to send arms to the allies of ISIS. ISIS rides around in a billion dollars worth of U.S. Humvees. It's a disgrace. We've got to stop - we shouldn't fund our enemies, for goodness sakes."

"I don't want my marriage or my guns registered in Washington. And if people have an opinion, it's a religious opinion that is heartly felt, obviously they should be allowed to practice that, and no government should interfere with them."
"One of the things, one of the things that really got to me was the thing in Houston where you had the government, the mayor actually, trying to get the sermons of ministers. When the government tries to invade the church to enforce its own opinion on marriage, that's when it's time to resist."
"Out of your surplus, you can help your allies, and Israel is a great ally. And this is no particular animus of Israel, but what I will say, and I will say over and over again, we cannot give away money we don't have."
"I've gone to Detroit. I've been to Ferguson; I've been to Baltimore, because I want our party to be bigger, better and bolder, and I'm the only one that leads Hillary Clinton in five states that were won by President Obama. I'm a different kind of Republican."
