- If you start giving your kids anxiety about food, it’s going to last a lifetime. Moms have to lead by example. Don’t say, "Oh, my jeans don’t fit," or "Oh, I was bad.” No diets. Nothing like that.
- As far as the Affordable Care Act, as I call it, the fact is that, yes, what has happened is unacceptable in terms of the glitches.
- Enough of this foreign fiasco distraction. Get back to work. It is time to bomb Obamacare.
- All lives have equal value. And so you say, ‘why do poor children die when other children don’t? Why do some people have enough nutrition or reasonable toilets and other people don’t?’ So those basic needs that, through innovation, actually it’s very affordable to bring them...to everyone.

- Wishing for the end to AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa is like wishing that gravity didn’t make things so damn heavy. We can wish it, but what the hell can we do about it?
- The United States performed the greatest act of heroism since it jumped into World War II. When the history books are written, they will show that millions of people owe their lives to the Yankee tax dollar, to just a fraction of an aid budget that is itself less than 1 percent of the federal budget.
