"I cannot, or will not, take the freedoms this country offers for granted. But these freedoms have come with a price so many times. The sacrifices made by our veterans are reminders to us of this."
Melania Trump
We are deeply grateful to the millions of Americans who believe in my husband because they know he believes in you.
He believes in America.Melania Trump
"I I promise that our administration will ALWAYS have your back.
We will ALWAYS be with you!"Donald Trump
"I am very, very proud to say that I am pro-life." Donald Trump
Experience taught me a few things.
One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper.
The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know.
And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.Donald Trump
"I was a Democrat for a period of time early on. And then I was also an independent.
And then I became a Republican."Donald Trump
"In recent months leaders in our government have told us that, we, the people, have lost confidence in ourselves; that we must regain the spirit and our will to achieve our national goals. Well, it is true there is a lack of confidence, an unease with things the way they are. But the confidence we have lost is confidence in our governments policies. Our unease can almost be called bewilderment at how our defense strength has deteriorated. The great productivity of our industry is now surpassed by virtually all the major nations who compete with us for world markets. And, our currency is no longer the stable measure of value it once was.
But there remains the greatness of our people, our capacity for dreaming up fantastic deeds and bringing them off to the surprise of an unbelieving world. When Washingtons men were freezing at Valley Forge, Tom Paine told his fellow Americans: 'We have it in our power to begin the world over again.'
We still have that power.''Ronald Reagan

"When we ignore our friends, when we do not lead, we weaken the unity and strength that binds our alliances. We must now reverse this dangerous trend and restore the confidence and cohesion of the alliance system on which our security ultimately rests.
There is something else. We must remember our heritage, who we are and what we are, and how this nation, this island of freedom, came into being. And we must make it unmistakably plain to all the world that we have no intention of compromising our principles, our beliefs or our freedom. Our reward will be world peace; there is no other way to have it.Ronald Reagan

"I want more than anything Ive ever wanted, to have an administration that will, through its actions, at home and in the international arena, let millions of people know that Miss Liberty still 'Lifts her lamp beside the golden door.'
Through our international broadcasting stations -- the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and the others -- let us send, loud and clear, the message that this generation of Americans intends to keep that lamp shining; that this dream, this last best hope of man on earth, this nation under God, shall not perish from the earth.
We will instead carry on the building of an American economy that once again holds forth real opportunity for all, we shall continue to be a symbol of freedom and guardian of the eternal values that so inspired those who came to this port of entry.
Let us pledge to each other, with this Great Lady looking on, that we can, and so help us God, we will make America great again.''Ronald Reagan

"Margaret Thatcher was the epitome of everything feminists claim they support a self-made woman who rose to power on her own merits without the patronage of any man. Its time these liberal hypocrites showed her and women in general the same respect conservatives have all along. Its disgraceful that Americas politicians snubbed her achievements, as Mrs. Thatcher helped secure our own union while setting a mighty example for women around the world.
Like all great leaders, she belongs to the ages now, and I trust that time will only burnish the Iron Ladys shining legacy when all these petty slights are long forgotten.Sarah Palin
"Our military has to be strengthened.
Our vets have to be taken care of.
We have to end Obamacare, and we have to make our country great again,
and I will do that."Donald Trump
We are ready to show the world that America is back;
bigger, better and strongerDonald Trump

"The key to restoring the health of the economy lies in cutting taxes. At the same time, we need to get the waste out of federal spending. This does not mean sacrificing essential services, nor do we need to destroy the system of benefits which flow to the poor, the elderly, the sick and the handicapped. We have long since committed ourselves, as a people, to help those among us who cannot take care of themselves. But the federal government has proven to be the costliest and most inefficient provider of such help we could possibly have.
We must put an end to the arrogance of a federal establishment which accepts no blame for our condition, cannot be relied upon to give us a fair estimate of our situation and utterly refuses to live within its means. I will not accept the supposed wisdom which has it that the federal bureaucracy has become so powerful that it can no longer be changed or controlled by any administration. As President I would use every power at my command to make the federal establishment respond to the will and the collective wishes of the people.
We must force the entire federal bureaucracy to live in the real world of reduced spending, streamlined functions and accountability to the people it serves. We must review the functions of the federal government to determine which of those are the proper province of levels of government closer to the people."Ronald Reagan

"Good evening. I am here tonight to announce my intention to seek the Republican nomination for President of the United States.
Im sure that each of us has seen our country from a number of viewpoints depending on where weve lived and what weve done. For me it has been as a boy growing up in several small towns in Illinois. As a young man in Iowa trying to get a start in the years of the great depression and later in California for most of my adult life.
Ive seen America from the stadium press box as a sportscaster, as an actor, officer of my labor union, soldier, officeholder and as both Democrat and Republican. Ive lived in an America where those who often had too little to eat outnumbered those who had enough. There have been four wars in my lifetime and Ive seen our country face financial ruin in depression. I have also seen the great strength of this nation as it pulled itself up from that ruin to become the dominant force in the world.
To me our country is a living, breathing presence, unimpressed by what others say is impossible, proud of its own success, generous, yes and naïve, sometimes wrong, never mean and always impatient to provide a better life for its people in a framework of a basic fairness and freedom.''Ronald Reagan
