I get to advocate issues and ideas that I believe in.

Traditional marriage is what should be sanctioned.

I think life is precious from beginning to end.

Being against other people's policies eventually puts you in a downward spiral. It's fine to be principled and oppose views that you don't agree with, but you also have to have an alternative.

Way too many people believe Republicans are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker.

I'd be wary of simple solutions to complex problems.

I released 34 years of tax returns and 300,000 e-mails in my government record. To get the information from Hillary Clinton, you need to get a subpoena from the FBI.

I try to have my voice be heard, but not on a regular basis on TV.

Barack Obama became president, and he abandoned Iraq. He left, and when he left Al Qaida was done for. ISIS was created because of the void that we left, and that void now exists as a caliphate the size of Indiana.

I'm happy to be helping people that are passionate about empowering parents for student learning.

I have a blessed life in so many ways.

As governor, I saw the link between economic prosperity and the ability to acquire knowledge.

I'm a conservative - a practicing one. I'm not a talk-about-it one.

I will support the Republican nominee.

I believe that the great majority of people coming here illegally have no other option. They want to provide for their family. But we need to control our border.

I think it was hard at first for my dad to transition to being immobile.

Immigrants are more fertile.

It's a volatile time.

I loved being governor. It was a blast. Eight years was enough. But it was certainly one of the greatest thrills in my life to be able to serve the people of Florida. I miss that from time to time.

I have a blessed life.

I support high academic standards. Period.

I do a lot of traveling overseas.

I think the voters can make up their own minds.

We have a wealth of talent in the Republican Party.

I never felt comfortable with making political decisions based on whether, you know, it was the right thing to do in terms of a poll.

If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record. And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.

Who among us has never looked up into the heavens on a starlit night, lost in wonder at the vastness of space and the beauty of the stars?

There's a whole lot of America that looks at each other and says, 'Well, there's 340 million people living in America. Isn't there somebody other than a Bush or a Clinton who can be president in these modern times?'

I'm comfortable with the life I have.

Second-generation Hispanics marry non-Hispanics at a higher rate than second-generation Irish or Italians. Second-generation Hispanics' English language capability rates are higher than previous immigrant groups'.

We've created rules and taxes on top of every aspiration of people, and the net result is we're not growing fast, income is not growing.

I would say national security is work in progress.

Florida has its own rhythm, too. People go to work, they watch their children learn and grow and start families of their own. They play in the sun and pass their lives enjoying the outsized blessings that make our state unique.

I don't miss politics.

I acted on my core beliefs on social issues as governor.

I don't think a party can aspire to be the majority party if it's the old white guy party.

My wife is not a public person. She is uncomfortable with the limelight, which is why I love her. I don't want a political wife - I want someone who, when I get home, I can have a normal life with.

I think President Obama has used the bully pulpit as a way to attack capitalism.

The fact that the U.S. is superior to all others allows for free commerce to take place.

I envision presenting parents with a marketplace of school choices - public, private, parochial, charter, virtual, blended, and home education. They then can choose the model that best equips their children for success.

There's a direct link between percentage of young people that are educated and how we live our lives.

My record as a pro-life governor is not in dispute. I am completely pro-life, and I believe that we should have a culture of life. It's informed by my faith from beginning to end. And this not just as it related to unborn babies - I did it at the end of life issues as well. This is something that goes way beyond politics.

I've always believed that if you support reform or you support a particular idea that you ought to fund that idea first and not the system.

I want my voice to have purpose.

I don't wake up each morning saying, 'Oh, wow, it's me. I think I'm the cat's meow. I'm the best.'

Any time an elected official in the world we're in today that appears so dysfunctional challenges a core constituency not of their opponent but of their own political base, I think we should pause and give them credit.

If more people were actively engaged in advocating their positions I think we'd have a better society.

We need to end the government monopoly in education by transferring power from bureaucracies and unions to families. The era of defining public education as allegiance to centralized school districts must end.

We are stronger because we recognize that government isn't the sole answer to the most important questions, and we welcome community and faith based organizations as partners to serve the needs of Florida families.

There should be a path to earned legal status for those that are here. Not - not amnesty - earned legal status, which means you pay a fine and do many things over an extended period of time.
