When people are motivated by principles larger than themselves, you don't have to beat them over the head to get them to act. You simply empower them, you inform them, you give them tools, and they take it upon themselves to act.

More quotes by Ted Cruz
We are still a nation of laws. You just have to check with Barack Obama every day to see what they are.
Ted Cruz
We are witnessing a great awakening. Millions of Texans, millions of Americans are rising up to reclaim our country, to defend liberty and to restore the Constitution.
Ted Cruz
We`re all aware that Hillary Clinton has a problem with the truth. Even among politicians, and that does not make her unique in the swamp that is Washington. But Hillary stands out.
Ted Cruz
I'm a maniac, and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly. And Ben [Carson] you're a terrible surgeon.
Ted Cruz
Carli Fiorina thinks the answer for Social Security and Medicare is...zero-based budgeting! Christ. People of a certain age are all banging their heads on the table right now.
Ted Cruz
One of the things that I have encouraged President Trump to do, and I'm optimistic about this, is to take on directly the regulatory state to take it on, to fire bureaucrats.
Ted Cruz
At the debate, Donald Trump backed off of his health care position for 20 years. For 20 years, he has agreed with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on socialized medicine, saying Obamacare doesn't go far enough. He wants the government to pay for everyone's health care and to control it.
Ted Cruz
Free enterprise system was born the second year the pilgrims were here. And of course, it has made America the most prosperous country in the world.
Ted Cruz
ISIS and Iran have declared war on America, and we need a commander in chief who will do everything necessary to keep our children safe.
Ted Cruz
The reason the Constitution gives judges life tenure is so they can be independent of political pressures and follow the law.
Ted Cruz
Today, the global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers. It used to be [that] it is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier.
Ted Cruz
I will do whatever I can to defeat Hillary Clinton.
Ted Cruz
Keep government out of the money of the people, schools of the people, and will of the people.
Ted Cruz
It is worth emphasizing that Iran released our hostages in 1981 the day Ronald Reagan was sworn into office.
Ted Cruz
Using overwhelming air power to utterly and completely destroy ISIS. To put things in perspective, in the first Persian Gulf War, we launched roughly 1,100 air attacks a day. We carpet bombed them for 36 days, saturation bombing, after which our troops went in and in a day and a half mopped up what was left of the Iraqi army.
Ted Cruz
It's not a lack of competence that is preventing the [Barack] Obama administration from stopping these attacks. It is political correctness. We didn't monitor the Facebook posting of the female San Bernardino terrorist. She made a public call to jihad, and they didn't target it.
Ted Cruz
If you love our country and love your children as much as I know that you do, stand and speak and vote your conscience. Vote for candidates up and down the ticket.
Ted Cruz
I want more rules, more scrutiny, and to defend the country.
Ted Cruz
The Obama-Clinton economy has done enormous damage to the Hispanic community.
Ted Cruz
The very first day that President [Barack] Obama was inaugurated, his first act as a president was to rescind that ban on third-trimester abortions. And he's even carried it further. Now, even if the baby is born alive, they have the right to kill that baby. It is an abomination.
