Life is measured in love and positive contributions and moments of grace.
— Carly Fiorina
You know, the truth is this: it is a leader's job to challenge the status quo. And when you do, you make enemies.
The Democratic policy is any abortion, any time, for any reason at any point in a woman's pregnancy, right up until the last minute, to be paid by taxpayers. Barbara Boxer described this policy as, 'It's not a life until it leaves the hospital.'
Russia - having sat across the table from Vladimir Putin, it's pretty clear when you meet him that he has an almost limitless ambition for power. And he's been very good at acquiring it - political power, economic power, military power, territorial power.
Our founders never intended us to have a professional political class.
Crony capitalism is alive and well: the big are bigger, the wealthy are getting wealthier because, with a very large powerful complicated government, which is what we have and which Democrats want more of, only the big, the powerful, the wealthy and the well connected can survive.
I learned long ago that the most effective way to compete is to play your own game, and I've been competing with men my whole life.
2016 is going to be a fight. A fight between conservatism and a Democrat Party that is undermining the very character of our nation.
Hillary Clinton lies about Benghazi, she lied about emails, she is still defending Planned Parenthood, and she is still her party's frontrunner.
I think when you've been a career politician for 34 years you have to run on your record.
A woman's experience is different from a man's in virtually every respect, including how she is treated by the media.
When men cut jobs, they're seen as decisive. When women do, they're vindictive.
If a decision-making process is flawed and dysfunctional, decisions will go awry.
When you lead change, sometimes you get arrows in your back. I mean, that's just the way the real world is.
You can find lots of people like you through technology, and women in particular like communities.
If you have a line of business - I know this as a CEO - or if you have a teenager - I know this as a parent - who have a spending problem, what do you do? You quit giving them money.
You take unacceptable risk, you have to be prepared to face the consequence.
That's the thing about business. Facts and numbers and results actually count. It's not just about words as it is in politics.
I understand how bureaucracies work. And that's important because our government has become a vast, huge, bloated, corrupt bureaucracy.
I'm a pro-life candidate because I believe that science is proving us right every day.
We can rebuild an alliance to fight ISIS, but we have to lead, and we have to give our allies what they are asking us to do. We do not have to march off to war, but we have to help our allies fight a war which we need them to win.
I think Donald Trump taps into an anger that I hear every day. People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It's not extreme; it's common sense. We need to secure the border.
I think 4 percent growth is a good goal. And I think the fact that we have become used to an economy that sort of putt putts along between 1 and 2 percent is sort of tragic.
We need to be very well aware of the fact that China and Russia are using technology to attack us, just as ISIS is using technology to recruit those who would murder American citizens.
I didn't get a phone call from Bill Clinton before I jumped in the race ... maybe it's because I hadn't given money to the foundation or donated to his wife's senate race.
I really believe that all CEO pay should be voted on by shareholders ahead of time. Mine was.
I love being a woman. I like dressing up; I love buying shoes.
I don't give up on commitments until what I've been asked to do is clearly finished.
If values matter in an organisation, you have to be prepared to act consistently.
I don't take on a fight just for a fight. I don't tilt at windmills.
Politics exist in the boardroom, as well.
You know, I believe that technology is the great leveler. Technology permits anybody to play. And in some ways, I think technology - it's not only a great tool for democratization, but it's a great tool for eliminating prejudice and advancing meritocracies.
I started out as a receptionist. I typed, I filed, I answered the phones for a little nine-person company.
Of course people think Washington is arrogant. It is.
Every job is important because each one represents an American's livelihood and ability to raise a family. Yet spending our time building walls around America will do nothing to help us compete for the millions of new jobs being created.
When it turns out that you were supposed to be disclosing all these foreign government donations to the Clinton Global Initiative while you were Secretary of State, and you didn't, and now the Clinton Global Initiative is having to restate their 990s, that doesn't sound very trustworthy to me.
The highest calling of leadership is to challenge the status quo and unlock the potential of others. We need a leader who will lead the resurgence of this great nation and unlock its potential once again.
Like Hillary Clinton, I, too, have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe. But unlike Mrs. Clinton, I know that flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.
The truth is, Hillary Clinton's ideas create more income inequality. Why? Because bigger government creates crony capitalism. When you have a 70,000 page tax code, you've got to be very wealthy, very powerful, very well connected to dig your way through that tax code.
I understand how the economy actually works.
Whatever your issue, your cause, the festering problem you thought would be resolved - the political class has failed you.
I know more world leaders on the stage today than anyone running, with perhaps the exception of Hillary Clinton.
I mean there are many people who have endorsed me that I agree with on some things and not others.
People who don't fit the mold are treated differently than those who do.
I think it would help tremendously to have a senator that knows where jobs come from, that knows how to create them, that knows how to bring them back and, importantly, knows what it means to manage billions of dollars' worth of expenses and cut billions of dollars' worth of expenses.
A boardroom is a collection of individuals, and individuals have varying motives, egos, agendas and qualifications. Sometimes the dynamics can go off track.
You don't create jobs by passing bills, you create jobs by cutting taxes.
My goodness, my hair's been talked about by a million people, you know? It sort of goes with the territory.
Well, first, if I am fortunate enough to be elected to the U.S. Senate, it won't be a party that will have elected me. It will be the people of California.
What I have said to people is that I've lived the American dream, because I have.
