"I believe that if America does not lead, others will—others who do not share our interests and our values—and the world will grow darker, for our friends and for us.
"America’s security and the cause of freedom cannot afford four more years like the last four years.
"I am running for President because I believe the leader of the free world has a duty, to our citizens, and to our friends everywhere, to use America’s great influence—wisely, with solemnity and without false pride, but also firmly and actively—to shape events in ways that secure our interests, further our values, prevent conflict, and make the world better—not perfect, but better." ~Mitt Romney
