"Every generation has to fight to maintain democracy. Everyone, everyone's going to be challenged."

"Imagine if we didn’t have NATO now – what would be happening in the Mediterranean, with regard to activity by Russia and China in the region?"

"It is modern-day appeasement... The idea that if we allow a dictator, a thug to decide he’s going to take significant portions of the land that aren’t his, and that’s going to satisfy him – I don’t quite understand."

"We are not the essential nation, but we’re the only nation in position to have the capacity to bring people together to lead the world.""

"We're about freedom, democracy, opportunity – not about confiscation."

"My dad used to have an expression: ‘Everyone’s entitled to be treated with dignity, no matter who they are, no matter where they’re from.’"
