Trust is a great force multiplier.

An idea on paper to a reality in large part.

Liberty is the most precious gift we offer our citizens.

Marco Rubio is a talented young man, but record trumps rhetoric.

This war on terrorism is going to continue for an indefinite period of time.

There's just no doubt in my mind - under any set of rules - water boarding is torture.

Very interested in any technology that can help create a safer and more secure America.

We must also reject the false choice of liberty versus security. We can and must have both.

It's not how high we jump off our feet in church, it's what we do with them when we hit the ground!

Following a terrorism-related event, fear and panic can be expected from both patients and health care providers.

I think Senator Rubio is a very talented young man. But you can well imagine that I am kind of partial to governors.

Ohioans know that he inherited a mess and created a surplus. So, on election day, John [Kasich] will prevail in Ohio.

I don't think there's a city that has done more and sustained a higher level of security and protection than New York City.

One of America's greatest strengths is the soft power of our value system and how we treat prisoners of war, and we don't torture.

America is a country that will not be broken by fear. And instead, America is a country blessed with citizens marked by goodwill and great resolve.

Ohioans know who cut their taxes. Nobody else on the ballot did. Ohioans know who is responsible for job growth, and nobody else on the ballot was.

I'm confident that the terrorists are aware that from the curb to the cockpit we've got additional security measures that didn't exist a couple of years ago.

The near-term attacks ... will either rival or exceed the 9/11 attacks... And it's pretty clear that the nation's capital and New York city would be on any list.

Credible reporting indicates that Al Qaeda is moving forward with its plans to carry out a large-scale attack in the United States in an effort to disrupt our democratic process.

You have to enable and empower people to make decisions independent of you. As I've learned, each person on a team is an extension of your leadership; if they feel empowered by you they will magnify your power to lead.

While I think it's very important that Marco Rubio and Senator [Ted] Cruz have contributed as senators... there's no doubt in my mind that being a governor is far, far better preparation for the ultimate responsibility as president of the United States.

I think it's one thing to be part of a very important group called the Senate of the United States and cast a vote. You're one of 100. I think it says even more to be a governor, where you ultimately have that political responsibility and accountability to succeed.

The programs supported by the International Affairs Budget are as essential to our national security as defense programs. Development and diplomacy protect our nation by addressing the root causes of terrorism and conflict. But it's not just about security. By building new markets overseas for American products, the International Affairs Budget creates jobs and boosts the economy here at home.

Remember back then we thought about al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan and a few other places? well, we've seen al Qaeda metastasize. It is now a global scourge. And you have the ascendancy of ISIL. The combination of those two groups -- their appeal to the lone wolfs and we see them acting in Belgium and in France and in Canada and the United States so the threat factors and the nature of the threats are far more complicated and far more serious today than on September 12, 2001.
