I don't fancy myself a political commentator. I hate politics. I hate it.

The message that I gave on the - on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don't believe that you can't do it. Everybody wants - everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that, it becomes politics. I'm not talking politics.

Remember, beneath every cynic there lies a romantic, and probably an injured one.

No one is guaranteed happiness. You can pursue it, but if you happen to find success along the way on that road to happiness, Conservatives believe you should not be demonized or penalized for it.

Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There's no understanding of it.
