Life is measured in love and positive contributions and moments of grace.
Carly Fiorina
You know, I believe that technology is the great leveler. Technology permits anybody to play. And in some ways, I think technology - it's not only a great tool for democratization, but it's a great tool for eliminating prejudice and advancing meritocracies.
My mother taught me about the power of inspiration and courage, and she did it with a strength and a passion that I wish could be bottled.
Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called digital divide. Others see it as the solution. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, economic, political and social system.
The highest calling of leadership is to challenge the status quo and unlock the potential of others. We need a leader who will lead the resurgence of this great nation and unlock its potential once again.
Leadership comes in small acts as well as bold strokes.
I don't take on a fight just for a fight. I don't tilt at windmills.
Do not be afraid to make decisions, do not be afraid to make mistakes.
If someone believes they are limited by their gender, race or background, they will become more limited.
There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore.
People who don't fit the mold are treated differently than those who do.
This world is clearly emerging before our eyes. The shifts ahead, the opportunities ahead are massive.
We need to be very well aware of the fact that China and Russia are using technology to attack us, just as ISIS is using technology to recruit those who would murder American citizens.
The truth is in California you can't build a new manufacturing facility, and businesses are leaving in droves because of bad government policy.
When men cut jobs, they're seen as decisive. When women do, they're vindictive.
If a decision-making process is flawed and dysfunctional, decisions will go awry.
You know, the truth is this: it is a leader's job to challenge the status quo. And when you do, you make enemies.
When our most important issue is the debt that we're piling on our children and grandchildren, I think it's pretty helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate who has actually managed billions of dollars and knows how to cut billions of dollars.
I think bolstering free trade is a boon to the dollar.
I think the dot-com boom and bust represented the end of the beginning. The industry is more mature today.
When you challenge other people's ideas of who or how you should be, they may try to diminish and disgrace you. It can happen in small ways in hidden places, or in big ways on a world stage. You can spend a lifetime resenting the tests, angry about the slights and the injustices. Or, you can rise above it.
I know more world leaders on the stage today than anyone running, with perhaps the exception of Hillary Clinton.
I think Donald Trump taps into an anger that I hear every day. People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It's not extreme; it's common sense. We need to secure the border.
I didn't get a phone call from Bill Clinton before I jumped in the race ... maybe it's because I hadn't given money to the foundation or donated to his wife's senate race.
I'm happy to tell you that having been through surgery and chemotherapy and radiation, breast cancer is officially behind me. I feel absolutely great and I am raring to go.
Every job is important because each one represents an American's livelihood and ability to raise a family. Yet spending our time building walls around America will do nothing to help us compete for the millions of new jobs being created.
I understand how bureaucracies work. And that's important because our government has become a vast, huge, bloated, corrupt bureaucracy.
I started out typing and filing and answering the phones for a little nine-person firm. And that nine-person firm gave me my chance to find my own way.
There are Tea Parties, and I would say plural, in California.
You know, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.
The truth is, I'm proud of the life I've lived so far, and though I've made my share of mistakes, I have no regrets.
Look, you need technical skills to run a company.
I'm a pro-life candidate because I believe that science is proving us right every day.
Well I'm not a novelist. I've only written one book and that is a memoir.
To build a great company, which is a CEO's job, sometimes you have to stand up against conventional wisdom.
I think it would help tremendously to have a senator that knows where jobs come from, that knows how to create them, that knows how to bring them back and, importantly, knows what it means to manage billions of dollars' worth of expenses and cut billions of dollars' worth of expenses.
Most of the media... is positioning the merger with Compaq and the recent actions by Walter Hewlett and David Packard as a fight between the past and the future.
I have very eclectic tastes.
I think 4 percent growth is a good goal. And I think the fact that we have become used to an economy that sort of putt putts along between 1 and 2 percent is sort of tragic.
I started out as a receptionist. I typed, I filed, I answered the phones for a little nine-person company.
Well, you know, I - again, even in the context of BP, I wonder about this government's priorities. The federal government's top priority right now should be the cleanup. And BP certainly has done so many things wrong. They need to be held to account.
Crony capitalism is alive and well: the big are bigger, the wealthy are getting wealthier because, with a very large powerful complicated government, which is what we have and which Democrats want more of, only the big, the powerful, the wealthy and the well connected can survive.
You have to master not only the art of listening to your head, you must also master listening to your heart and listening to your gut.
Many people have asked me how I feel about losing my job.
But ours was intended to be a citizen government. It is what of, by and for the people means. And when our most important issue in California is the creation of jobs, I think it's quite helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate or in the governor's seat who actually knows where jobs come from.
I am a conservative and proud of it.
The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington, D.C., which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.
I think we ought to ban earmarks. I think we ought to give citizens the opportunity to designate up to 10 percent of their federal income tax toward debt reduction. If we did that, we would reduce our debt by $95 billion a year.
What I think we need to do to engage the American people in a conversation about entitlement reform is to have a bipartisan group of people who come together and put every solution on the table, every alternative on the table. And then we ought to engage in a long conversation with the American people so they understand the choices.
Don't think of yourself as a woman in business.
