"When I focused on the profiles in this book, I didn’t research if the women were Republican or Democrat. I didn’t know which president they voted for. What I know is they inspired me. They inspired me because they were above the noise. They each had one life and were determined to make the most of it. How amazing is that? They knew they were meant for great things, and they chased them until they fulfilled their purpose."

"Yes, its part of a traditional – you know, its part of tradition [...] And so, when you look at that, if you have the same as you have Black History Month and you have Confederate History Month and all of those. As long as its done where it is in a positive way and not in a negative way, and it doesnt go to harm anyone, and it goes back to where it focuses on the traditions of the people that are wanting to celebrate it, then I think its fine."
Nikki Haley"Our goal with the administration is to show value at the UN and the way that well show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure our allies have our back as well."
Nikki Haley"To those outside of our state the flag may be nothing more than a symbol of the worst of America’s past. That is not what it is to many South Carolinians. The statehouse belongs to all of us."
Nikki Haley"With all due respect, I dont get confused."
Nikki Haley"It was an honor of a lifetime to serve as the United States ambassador to the United Nations. Now, the U.N. is not for the faint of heart. It’s a place where dictators-murderers-&-thieves denounce America… and then put their hands out and demand that we pay their bills. Well, President Trump put an end to all that. With his leadership, we did what Barack Obama and Joe Biden refused to do. We stood up for America… and we stood against our enemies. Obama and Biden let North Korea threaten America. President Trump rejected that weakness, and we passed the toughest sanctions on North Korea in history. Obama and Biden let Iran get away with murder and literally sent them a plane full of cash. President Trump did the right thing and ripped up the Iran nuclear deal. Obama and Biden led the United Nations to denounce our friend and ally, Israel. President Trump moved our embassy to Jerusalem – and when the U.N. tried to condemn us, I was proud to cast the American veto."
Nikki Haley"For those that dont have our back, were taking names, we will make points to respond to that acccordingly."
