Donald Trump Quotes
collected from internet | Donald Trump

Posted on 03/02/2016 2:39:23 PM PST by ashukla

“It doesn`t hurt to get more education.”

“Everything in life is luck.”

“Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.”

“One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people—I categorize them as life’s losers—who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.”

“I’ve always felt that a lot of modern art is a con, and that the most successful painters are often better salesmen and promoters than they are artists.”

“Partnerships must have loyalty and integrity at their core.”

“The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take sixty percent or more of his extra pay? . . . Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong. If, on the other hand, you reduce tax rates and allow people to spend or save more of what they earn, they’ll be more industrious; they’ll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress. The result: more prosperity for all—and more revenue for government.”

“There’s an old German proverb to the effect that “fear makes the wolf bigger than he is,” and that is true.”

“I like to think of the word FOCUS as Follow One Course Until Successful.”

“When people are in a focused state, the words “I can’t,” “I’ll try,” “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and “maybe” get forced out of their vocabularies.”

“Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the ability to act effectively, in spite of fear.”

“The point is that if you are a little different, or a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you.”

“Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.”

“success comes from failure, not from memorizing the right answers.”

“My people keep telling me I shouldn’t write letters like this to critics. The way I see it, critics get to say what they want to about my work, so why shouldn’t I be able to say what I want to about theirs?”

“Focus is essential to success, and successful people are people who can focus.”

“President Reagan put it best: “Welfare’s purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.”

“Entrepreneurs are always taking feedback, especially from their customers, bankers, workers, and sales force. Without straightforward feedback, entrepreneurs cannot make sound decisions.”

“Strong Relationships Are the Key”

“Perhaps because my father never got a college degree himself, he continued to view people who had one with a respect that bordered on awe. In most cases they didn’t deserve it. My father could run circles around most academics and he would have done very well in college, if he’d been able to go.”

“As an entrepreneur, I choose my teachers carefully, very carefully. I am extremely cautious of the people with whom I spend my time and to whom I listen.”

“It is easier to ask for money when you don’t need the money.”

“Leaders, true leaders, take responsibility for the success of the team and understand that they must also take responsibility for the failure.”

“No one can match America. We have big hearts—and the courage to do what’s right. But we’re not the world’s policemen. And if we have to take on that role, we need to send a clear message that protection comes at a price. If other countries benefit from our armed forces protecting them, those countries should cover the costs. Period.”

Here ya go. Might not make the good things less good in your eyes. But I will tell you to mock a woman’s looks publicly, to question the service of a six year POW, to marginalize the skill of a world class surgeon, to suggest a woman is a bitch because of ???????, in my opinion is inexcusable and is not just dumb statements, they are viscous and shows the measure of a man and this guy is a very small.

“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?

“He’s not a war hero, he’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captures.”

“Megyn Kelly had blood coming our of her whatever.”

“He was a doctor, perhaps an OK Doctor”

“Rick Perry should have to have an IQ test before getting on a debate stage.”

This is exactly what he's doing. And it works. Saves on having to spend money to get the ink and airtime.

He’s talking about you here.

Oh, those quotes you published have received plenty of airings, but haters like you can’t bear to let a positive thread sail-by without soiling it.

Much like a male dog leaving his scent on a tree or fire hydrant.

I’m NOT playing half-witted games.
I’ve heard him address the subject in its entirety.

Allocating taxpayer funding Planned Parenthood WHEN or IF the organization gets OUT of the abortion business?

Tax-payer funding of several organizations and federal departments don’t make sense to me.

I won't say what you Trump fans are doing here, but I will note that when I was young, I was told that doing it would make me go blind and cause hair to grow on the palms of my hands.

Mark Twain” Man cannot stand success, anothers that is!”

Similar to the Trumpism.

No. The idea that an organization responsible for millions of babie’s deaths could, through any lense of conservatism, be described as doing terrific work. Are there not other organizations providing women’s health services that don’t condone abortion? The fact they have blood on their hands negates any compliment one with a respect for life might give them.
