I don't have more money. I won't have more money than any of the candidates even the Republican candidates. We know that already. But we are building this campaign team like I would build a business. And that is we are building it so far with no debt.

We would all like to vote for the best man but he is never a candidate.

That's one of the nice things. I mean part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich. So if I need $600 million I can put $600 million myself. That's a huge advantage. I must tell you that's a huge advantage over the other candidates.

I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory.

People have said I'm the candidate of anger. Well we have a right to be angry. We lost 3 million jobs. We lost our place as the moral leader of the world.

Well I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment and I've learned quickly these last few days that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.

This is the first convention of the space age - where a candidate can promise the moon and mean it.

In the television age the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.

I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until perhaps she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.

No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.
