Quote

I was never that kid that wanted to be in politics. What happened was, I graduated with a degree in accounting. I came back home to the family business. I saw how hard it was to make a ­dollar, and how easy it was for the government to take it. And my mom said, Quit complaining about it. Do something about it.

Do things that are uncomfortable to do. I say that because women tend to step back from things that they don't know about. And the second, most important, one is, push through the fear.

Each of these lines attempts to serve a portion of our population for which we extend our sympathy and encouragement. But nevertheless, it is only a small portion of South Carolina's chronically ill or abused. Overall, these special add-on lines distract from the agency's broader mission of protecting South Carolina's public health.

There's never a good time to fire someone. That's not something that anybody is - that's never going to play out well. But at the end of the day, the president has to surround himself with a team that he can trust. Donald Trump is going to surround himself with a team that he thinks is going to represent and secure the United States properly.

The civilized world must remain united and vigilant against the rogue state's development of a nuclear arsenal. We will never accept a nuclear North Korea.

I think when you take the job, you automatically assume that you work for the president. And you are part of a team. And loyalty is a big thing. It's, you know, as a former governor, I can tell you, loyalty and trust is everything when you're a CEO. And so I can totally understand why Donald Trump is looking for loyalty and trust.

The reason people are uncomfortable is because Donald Trump acts. He doesn't talk with a bunch of people about it before, he just acts.

I don't feel like President Trump doesn't listen to me on Russia. If he had a problem with what I'm saying, he would say something. And he hasn't.

My job is to create jobs. In the end I'm going to have jobs to show for it.

I think that, you know, Russia is full of themselves. They've always been full of themselves. But that's - it's more of a facade that they try and show as opposed to anything else.

Assad is not going away, but we're not going to stop beating up on him. We're not going to stop saying that the way he treats the people in Syria is wrong, that he has actually killed his own people and America will never stand for that.

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.

I assume I'm being taped everywhere, so I never worry about that.

Having a missile test is not the way for North Korea to sit down with the president Donald Trump, because he's absolutely not going to do it. And I can tell you, Kim Jong-un can sit there and say all the conditions he wants, until he meets our conditions, we're not sitting down with him.

I wear heels. It's not for a fashion statement, it's... ammunition.

Assad is always a priority. That is not an issue. He is a war crime. He has done terrible things to his own people. He has used chemical weapons on his own people. He continues to be a hindrance to peace in Syria. And that is something the Trump administration strongly believes.

Russians are concerned by North Korea. I mean there's - this is getting kind of close to home for them. And so they're concerned. And I think certainly what we're going to start doing is rallying the troops again and say, ok, what do we need to do next?
Nikki Haley

What Donald Trump is trying to do is find his own team, figure out how he's going to do it. But we have to remember, he can hire and fire anybody else that he wants to do.

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.

I had a white senator call me a rag head, and I had an African-American legislator call me a conservative with a tan.

All of my policy is not based on a label. It's based on what I lived and what I know.
