*The pay-off, is at the very bottom of this page. Thank you very much.
Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.
I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.
Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.
All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected.
Laziness is a trait in the blacks. ... Black guys counting my money! I hate it.
The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yamakas every day.
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.
Everything in life is luck.
Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive.
My motto is: Always get even. When somebody screws you, screw them back in spades.
You have to think anyway, so why not think big? Thank you very much.
As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.
An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud.
A certificate of live birth is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination as a birth certificate.
Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again – just watch. He can do much better!
Rosie O’Donnell’s disgusting both inside and out. You take a look at her, she’s a slob. She talks like a truck driver, she doesn’t have her facts, she’ll say anything that comes to her mind.
Ariana Huffington is unattractive, both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man – he made a good decision.
You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.
Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people.
I've read hundreds of books about China over the decades. I know the Chinese. I've made a lot of money with the Chinese. I understand the Chinese mind.
I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words. Thank you. Thank you very much.
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people.
Our great African-American President hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore.
If I were running ‘The View’, I’d fire Rosie O’Donnell. I mean, I’d look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I’d say ‘Rosie, you’re fired.
All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.
One of they key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don’t go into government.
He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured, OK, I hate to tell you.
If you can’t get rich dealing with politicians, there’s something wrong with you.
One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow.
There are people—I categorize them as life’s losers—who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others.
As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.
The beauty of me is that I’m very rich.
It’s freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming!
We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f------ school in Brooklyn.
I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.
My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, [as]are various other parts of my body.
I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.
I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I’m more honest and my women are more beautiful.
You’re disgusting.
...living your words, walking your talk, and talking your walk.
I like to think of the word "FOCUS" as Follow One Course Until Successful.
Show me someone without an ego, and I'll show you a loser. Thank you.
When you are wronged repeatedly, the worst thing you can do is continue taking it--fight back!
It doesn`t hurt to get more education.
I’ve always felt that a lot of modern art is a con, and that the most successful painters are often better salesmen and promoters than they are artists.
Remember There’s No Such Thing As An Unrealistic Goal – Just Unrealistic Time Frames

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.
Don't get sidetracked. If you do get sidetracked, get back on track as soon as possible. Ultimately sidetracking kills you.
What's the point of having great knowledge and keeping them all to yourself?
The point is, you can never be too greedy.
Sorry, there is no STAR on the stage tonight!
My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth.
My IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure; it's not your fault. Thank you very much.
I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.
The other candidates — they went in, they didn’t know the air conditioning didn’t work. They sweated like dogs...How are they gonna beat ISIS? I don’t think it’s gonna happen.
I saw a report yesterday. There’s so much oil, all over the world, they don’t know where to dump it. And Saudi Arabia says, ‘Oh, there’s too much oil.’ Do you think they’re our friends? They’re not our friends.
Look at those hands, are they small hands? And, [Republican rival Marco Rubio] referred to my hands: 'If they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee.
Don't believe the millions of dollars of phony television ads by lightweight Rubio and the R establishment. Dishonest people!
Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.
I have brought millions of people into the Republican Party, while the Dems are going down. Establishment wants to kill this movement!
It's a blip, not a catastrophe.
Unite to win. Divide to conquer.
Failed candidate Mitt Romney,who ran one of the worst races in presidential history,is working with the establishment to bury a big “R” win!
When Mitt Romney asked me for my endorsement last time around, he was so awkward and goofy that we all should have known he could not win!
I am the only one who can beat Hillary Clinton. I am not a Mitt Romney, who doesn’t know how to win. Hillary wants no part of “Trump”
Hillary Clinton is weak on illegal immigration, among many other things. She is strong on corruption – corruption is what she’s best at!
Remember that Bill Clinton was brought in to help Hillary against Obama in 2008. He was terrible, failed badly, and was called a racist!
Hillary won’t call out radical Islam! She will be soundly defeated.
Hillary Clinton was the worst Secretary of State in the history of the United States.
There's never been a Secretary of State so bad as Hillary.
The world blew up around us. We lost everything, including all relationships.
There wasn't one good thing that came out of that administration or her being Secretary of State.
Interesting how President Obama so haltingly said I “would never be president” – This from perhaps the worst president in U.S. history!
If Obama resigns from office NOW, thereby doing a great service to the country—I will give him free lifetime golf at any one of my courses!
President Obama spends so much time speaking of the so-called Carbon footprint, and yet he flies all the way to Hawaii on a massive old 747.
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
On exporting goods to China: "Listen you mother-fucker, we're going to tax you 25 percent!
When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let's say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time. All the time.
Canadians: My ultra luxury private plane will be featured on Sunday’s episode of #MightyPlanes on @DiscoveryCanada–don’t miss it at 8 ET!
Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago. Lawsuits have just been filed with more to follow. I told you so.
When Ted Cruz quits the race and the field begins to clear, I will get most of his votes – no problem!
Lying Ted Cruz and lightweight choker Marco Rubio teamed up last night in a last ditch effort to stop our great movement. They failed!
Little Marco Rubio gave amnesty to criminal aliens guilty of “sex offenses.” DISGRACE! https://t.co/mZwpynzsLb
We must build a wall to secure our border. It will save lives and help Make America Great Again! Thank you very much.
The U.S. will invite El Chapo, the Mexican drug lord who just escaped prison, to become a U.S. citizen because our "leaders" can't say no!
Former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox, horribly used the "F" word when discussing the wall. He must apologize! If I did that there would be a uproar!
Every time I speak of the haters and losers I do so with great love and affection. They cannot help the fact that they were born fucked up!
I love the Mexican people, but Mexico is not our friend. They’re killing us at the border and they’re killing us on jobs and trade. Fight!
The wall will go up and Mexico will start behaving.
There’s an old German proverb to the effect that “fear makes the wolf bigger than he is,” and that is true.
Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.
