"Even though I love solar and love wind, like most people do, I like the renewable sources, they alone are not going to get America energy independent."

-Mitt Romney

aloneView Quote
"Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist - because every day Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died - she went looking for him because that morning, there was no rose."

-Mitt Romney

anniversaryView Quote
"Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it."

-Mitt Romney

bestView Quote
"If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn't you feel that way now that he's President Obama? You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him."

-Mitt Romney

bestView Quote
"Massachusetts children cannot only lead the nation in test scores, they can be competitive with the best in the world. And the gap in achievement among races can virtually disappear."

-Mitt Romney

bestView Quote
"I want you to remember when our White House reflected the best of who we are, not the worst of what Europe has become."

-Mitt Romney

bestView Quote
"The strength and power and goodness of America has always been based on the strength and power and goodness of our communities, our families, our faiths. That is the bedrock of what makes America, America. In our best days, we can feel the vibrancy of America's communities, large and small."

-Mitt Romney

bestView Quote
"The invisible hand of the market always moves faster and better than the heavy hand of government."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"I have never once regretted missing a business opportunity so that I could be with my children and grandchildren."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"Business and growing jobs is about taking risk, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding, but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually, it doesn't work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"You know, out-of-touch liberals like Barack Obama say they want a strong economy, but in everything they do, they show they don't like business very much. But the economy, of course, is simply the product of all the businesses of the nation added together. So it's a bit like saying you like an omelet, but you don't like eggs."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"Freedom. Freedom of religion. Freedom to speak their mind. Freedom to build a life. And yes, freedom to build a business. With their own hands. This is the essence of the American experience."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"And fifth, we will champion small businesses, America's engine of job growth. That means reducing taxes on business, not raising them. It means simplifying and modernizing the regulations that hurt small business the most. And it means that we must rein in the skyrocketing cost of healthcare by repealing and replacing Obamacare."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"Washington has to become an ally of business, not the opposition of business."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"When you raise taxes on small business, from 35% to 40%, you will kill jobs."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story."

-Mitt Romney

businessView Quote
"This is the America that I love. This is a great people. We can do anything. We can achieve anything. We've got a government that has gotten in the way of the American people. We're going to change that in November."

-Mitt Romney

"Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist - because every day Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died - she went looking for him because that morning, there was no rose."

-Mitt Romney

dadView Quote
"My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all - the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be, and much less about what we would do."

-Mitt Romney

dadView Quote
"My dad had been born in Mexico and his family had to leave during the Mexican revolution."

-Mitt Romney

dadView Quote
"You know, my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now, I understand why. If I do my job well, I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams."

-Mitt Romney

dadView Quote
"When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, 'Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?'"

-Mitt Romney

dadView Quote
"Dependency is death to initiative, to risk-taking and opportunity. It's time to stop the spread of government dependency and fight it like the poison it is."

-Mitt Romney

deathView Quote
"I've been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama - then candidate Obama - going through Iowa making promises. The gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I've seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of 'til death do we part."

-Mitt Romney

deathView Quote
"Business and growing jobs is about taking risk, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding, but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually, it doesn't work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world."

-Mitt Romney

dreamsView Quote
"You know, my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now, I understand why. If I do my job well, I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams."

-Mitt Romney

dreamsView Quote
"Education is the investment our generation makes in the future."

-Mitt Romney

educationView Quote
"The American culture promotes personal responsibility, the dignity of work, the value of education, the merit of service, devotion to a purpose greater than self, and at the foundation, the pre-eminence of family."

-Mitt Romney

educationView Quote
"Opportunity expands when there is excellence and choice in education, when taxes are lowered, when every citizen has affordable, portable health insurance and when constitutional freedoms are preserved."

-Mitt Romney

educationView Quote
"I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon."

-Mitt Romney

educationView Quote
"Freedom. Freedom of religion. Freedom to speak their mind. Freedom to build a life. And yes, freedom to build a business. With their own hands. This is the essence of the American experience."

-Mitt Romney

experienceView Quote
"Christianity is not the faith of the complacent, the comfortable or of the timid. It demands and creates heroic souls like Wesley, Wilberforce, Bonhoeffer, John Paul the Second, and Billy Graham. Each showed, in their own way, the relentless and powerful influence of the message of Jesus Christ."

-Mitt Romney

faithView Quote
"It strikes me as odd that the free exercise of religious faith is sometimes treated as a problem, something America is stuck with instead of blessed with."

-Mitt Romney

faithView Quote
"No person I have ever met, not even the most righteous or pure of heart, has gone without those times when faith recedes in the busy-ness of life."

-Mitt Romney

faithView Quote
"This President takes his inspiration from the capitals of Europe we look to the cities and small towns of America. This President puts his faith in government. We put our faith in the American people."

-Mitt Romney

faithView Quote
"Men and women of every faith and good people with none at all sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life."

-Mitt Romney

faithView Quote
"America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home."

-Mitt Romney

familyView Quote
"All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family - and God's love - this world would be a far more gentle and better place."

-Mitt Romney

familyView Quote
"In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before."

-Mitt Romney

familyView Quote
"The American culture promotes personal responsibility, the dignity of work, the value of education, the merit of service, devotion to a purpose greater than self, and at the foundation, the pre-eminence of family."

-Mitt Romney

familyView Quote
"Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, 'I'm an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better. My country deserves better!' So here we stand. Americans have a choice."

-Mitt Romney

familyView Quote
"My dad had been born in Mexico and his family had to leave during the Mexican revolution."

-Mitt Romney

familyView Quote

-Mitt Romney

familyView Quote

-Mitt Romney

familyView Quote
"The Cuban people still live in constant fear of a brutal totalitarian regime that has demonstrated time and again its utter disregard for basic human dignity. The fight for a free Cuba has gone on for far too long."

-Mitt Romney

fearView Quote
"In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before."

-Mitt Romney

foodView Quote
"Religious liberty is the first freedom in our Constitution. And whether the cause is justice for the persecuted, compassion for the needy and the sick, or mercy for the child waiting to be born, there is no greater force for good in the nation than Christian conscience in action."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"Our plans protect freedom and opportunity, and our blueprint is the Constitution of the United States."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"If I am elected President of these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny. That future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon it, the peace and freedom of the world require it."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"Perhaps religious conscience upsets the designs of those who feel that the highest wisdom and authority comes from government. But from the beginning, this nation trusted in God, not man. Religious liberty is the first freedom in our Constitution."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"Religious freedom opens a door for Americans that is closed to too many others around the world. But whether we walk through that door, and what we do with our lives after we do, is up to us."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"Freedom. Freedom of religion. Freedom to speak their mind. Freedom to build a life. And yes, freedom to build a business. With their own hands. This is the essence of the American experience."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"And let me make this very clear - unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class. As president, I will protect the sanctity of life. I will honor the institution of marriage. And I will guarantee America's first liberty: the freedom of religion."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"We still believe in the America that is a land of opportunity and a beacon of freedom. We believe in the America that challenges each of us to be better and bigger than ourselves."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"Since Castro took power, the Cuban people have been denied basic human freedoms. No freedom of religion, no freedom of the press, no political freedom. And the regime uses brutality and violence to suppress these freedoms and impose its will."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"The words spoken by the leader of the free world can expand the frontiers of freedom or shrink them. When Ronald Reagan called on Gorbachev to 'tear down this wall,' a surge of confidence rose that would ultimately breach the bounds of the evil empire."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"Make no mistake, in this campaign, I will offer the American ideals of economic freedom a clear and unapologetic defense."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"President Obama orders religious organizations to violate their conscience. I will defend religious liberty and overturn regulations that trample on our first freedom."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"I don't want to transform America. I want to restore to America the economic values of freedom and opportunity and limited government that has made us the powerhouse of the world."

-Mitt Romney

freedomView Quote
"If I am elected President of these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny.

-Mitt Romney

futureView Quote
"Education is the investment our generation makes in the future."

-Mitt Romney

futureView Quote
"Instead of just giving lip service to improving our schools, I will actually put the kids first and the teachers union behind in giving our kids better teachers, better options and better choices for a better future."

-Mitt Romney

futureView Quote
"The American people I talk to don't spend every moment thinking, 'How can I tax my neighbor more than they're being taxed?' They say, 'How can I get a good job? How can my kids get good jobs? How can seniors have a confidence in their future when they know that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupt?'"

-Mitt Romney

futureView Quote
"Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. He believes America's role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe a strong America must - and will - lead the future."

-Mitt Romney

futureView Quote
"I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon."

-Mitt Romney

futureView Quote
"All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family - and God's love - this world would be a far more gentle and better place."

-Mitt Romney

godView Quote
"The soles of Neil Armstrong's boots on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls and in our national psyche. Ann and I watched those steps together on her parent's sofa. Like all Americans we went to bed that night knowing we lived in the greatest country in the history of the world. God bless Neil Armstrong."

-Mitt Romney
