Nikki Haley
I think the rest of the world would like to tell us how to manage our own environment. And I think that anybody in America can tell you that we're best to decide what America should do.
I think what you can see is that we have worked very closely with China. China has really stood up in putting the pressure on North Korea.
That's one of the things that I'm going to talk about, is the need for the Human Rights Council to actually deal with human rights. We've got countries on the Human Rights Council right now like Venezuela and Cuba.
There's certain things that we do work with Russia on, and then there's certain things when they do something wrong, I have no problem calling them out on it.
At the United Nations, that's the number one comment I get is they're just so happy to see the United States lead again.
We are now changing the culture at the United Nations. And with that, we're changing the culture in the world in the discussions that we're having.
This was not a decision made with the Israelis. This was a decision by the president for the American people. And so, it was a decision that we all said Jerusalem should be the capital and the embassy should be there. This decision should not weigh in on the peace process.
The key is we have to keep those communications together, and we all agree on one goal - a denuclearized North Korea.
We now should hope and pray for a peace process. We've had good negotiations with both sides. Those are going to continue; those are going to be a commitment by the president and something that we're going to work hard on. And we all hope, for the sake of Israeli children and Palestinian children, that we do have peace.
I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who reminded my brothers, my sister and me every single day how blessed we were to live in this country. They loved the fact that only in America, we could be as successful as we wanted to be, and nothing would stand in our way.
Everyone can have a bad day.
I wear heels, and it's not for a fashion statement - it's ammunition.
It is time for all civilized nations to stop the horrors that are taking place in Syria and demand a political solution.
I'm a huge fan of women; I think we're great.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mitt Romney for several years now. There's so much to appreciate about him. He fixes things. He's results-driven. He's taken broken companies and made them successful.
This is America. Anyone is free to protest about anything they want.
All of my policy is not based on a label. It's based on what I lived and what I know.
I'm very proud of the way that I was raised, I'm very proud of the way that my parents raised me.
I don't think we should ever ban anyone based on their religion. That is un-American. It is not good. What the president is doing, everybody needs to realize that what he's doing is saying, 'Let's take a step back. Let's temporarily pause.'
We don't have unions in South Carolina because we don't need unions in South Carolina.
The reason I actually ran for office is because of Hillary Clinton. Everybody was telling me why I shouldn't run: I was too young, I had small children, I should start at the school board level.
I think any label is bad. I'm more than a label.
I think it's very important to get ego out of the room. I think it's important to realize it takes two hands to clap - stop the pointing, stop the blame game. I think we've seen enough of that, I think the country is tired of it. I think they want to see Washington function, they want to see action.
People ask the question, 'If you're offered VP, would you take it?' No, I won't take it.
God bless the people of the State of South Carolina.
You don't go to the people that are just like you. You go to the people that you have to earn their credit.
I had a white senator call me a rag head, and I had an African-American legislator call me a conservative with a tan.
Contraception doesn't define a woman.
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Take that off the table. Tell both sides to come together and say, 'Okay, you decide how you want to split up Jerusalem. You decide if you're going to create boundaries or borders there.' And let them decide.
I'm a strong voice by nature. I'm sometimes a bull in a china shop.
Secretary Tillerson is not going anywhere. I can vouch for that. He is where he is, he continues to be strong in how he handles foreign policy, and I continue to work well with him.
I'm not going to stop beating up on the unions.
Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country.
I'm not going to stop beating up on the Democrats for wasteful spending.
What I'm trying to bring attention to is that human rights is a big important part of how to prevent conflict in the first place if we focus on how the governments are treating their people.
It's - getting Assad out is not the only priority. And so what we're trying to do is obviously defeat ISIS.
We cannot continue to allow immigrants to come here illegally. And in this age of terrorism, we must not let in refugees whose intentions cannot be determined.
The foundation that has made America that last, best hope on earth hasn't gone anywhere. It still exists. It is up to us to return to it.
On matters of race, South Carolina has a tough history. We all know that. Many of us have seen it in our own lives - in the lives of our parents and our grandparents. We don't need reminders.
Everything that has happened to me in my life has defined who I am, and all of the things leading up to being governor, that all came from overcoming challenges in childhood and overcoming challenges as I got older. When you have God, you quickly understand there's nothing you can't overcome.
No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. At the same time, that does not mean we just flat out open our borders. We can't do that.
The public likes to think that women only care about contraception.
My job is to create jobs. In the end I'm going to have jobs to show for it.
I think the media's a little frightened of women.
I encourage people to find and use the power of their voices just as much when I do not agree with those voices as when I do agree with them.
Protests are fine. But in South Carolina we believe in the rule of law, and the people of this state should never doubt that as governor, I will enforce it.
I don't think we should focus on what church that person walks into .. I think we need to focus on what they do when they walk out of church.
For a bill to become law, it truly has to be the will of the people, and for a president to stop the will of the people and stop what you're trying to do in your state is not the role of Washington.
I've never been a planner. I didn't know I was going to run for the State House. I didn't know I was going to run for governor. I don't know what's next, and I love not thinking about it because the doors open at a certain time.
