There will come a day, I promise you, when the thought of your son, or daughter, or your wife or your husband, brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye. It will happen. My prayer for you is that day will come sooner than later.

I support immediate financial assistance to the newly elected Palestinian president. Now, I don’t know what those numbers will be, and I don’t know how it’s going to be framed.

Banning guns is an idea whose time has come.

But I was amazed at how organized the Palestinian election authority was, how competent they were in setting up their polling places and the poll workers they had.

You get a lawyer whether you’re in a military tribunal or whether you’re in a federal court, number one. The attorney general decided that the court with the biggest – with the greatest venue, with the best jurisdiction was the New York court. That was the right decision to make.

There are no fortresses that Bolsheviks cannot storm.

Whoever is the first to cry ‘Stop the thief’ is the one who is guilty.

Why, Sir, most schemes of political improvement are very laughable things.

I found this national debt, doubled, wrapped in a big bow waiting for me as I stepped into the Oval Office.

Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs.

Donald Trump and I have, firstly, met more than once at various international venues and secondly, we regularly talk over the phone.

I hope my own children never have to fight a war.
