"Now, the simple truth is it took years to dig this hole; it's going to take more time than any of us would like to climb out of it."

"The private sector — not government — is, was, and always will be the source of America's economic success."

"We must advance to direct talks in the near term, in order to reach an agreement that ends the conflict."

"We're betting on the ingenuity and talent of American businesses."
