We do need curriculum reform. And it should happen at the state and local level. That is where educational policy belongs, because if a parent is unhappy with what their child is being taught in school, they can go to that local school board or their state legislature, or their governor and get it changed.
Marco Rubio
The government can't change the weather.
Marco Rubio
The most important thing of all is my parents were able to leave all four of their children better off than themselves. That story has a name, it's called the American dream.

Muslim communities are the ones that going to see radicalization happening at a mosque or hear it in the community or even among their own family members. And the other part is that there is a narrative that ISIS and other jihadists pose that this is a war between Muslims and the rest of the world.
Marco Rubio
My preference is that we beat him [Donald Trump] outright in the primary process. And I believe that's exactly what's going to happen here in the next few weeks, especially as we move to winner-take-all states. The terrain begins to change.
Marco Rubio
The truth is, the greatest tool to lift children and families from poverty is one that decreases the probability of child poverty by 82%. But it isn't a government spending program. It's called marriage.
Marco Rubio
No economic system is perfect. But the American Free Enterprise system has empowered millions of people in the past. I know, because I saw it with my own eyes.
Marco Rubio
You know who a complicated tax code kills? The guy or gal trying to start a business out of the spare bedroom of their home. So we've got to simplify our tax code.
Marco Rubio
Poverty does not create our social problems...our social problems create our poverty.
Marco Rubio
All of these things we're talking about now, it will take time to sink in. But when voters begin to realize what we're really up against here, and what he's trying to do, I think you're going to see a sea shift here pretty quickly.
Marco Rubio
I pray the Pope [Francis] can use his moral authority to inspire true religious freedom, and bring us closer to the day when freedom can finally take root on the island country because only then will the people of Cuba prosper and have the opportunity to live out God's plan.
Marco Rubio
Every single day, something comes out of the [Ted] Cruz campaign that's deceptive and untrue, and in this case, goes after my faith. This is a pattern now, and I think we're now at a point where we start asking about accountability.
Marco Rubio
I asked the American people do not give in to the fear. Do not give into the frustration. We can disagree about public policy. We can disagree about it vibrantly, passionately, but we are a hopeful people. And we have every right to be hopeful.
Marco Rubio
I think that the government of [Nicolas] Maduro has argued to stage a coup in Venezuela, that this is obviously a coup against the country's democratic institutions.
Marco Rubio
I believe that the Cuban Adjustment Act must be re-examined.
