“Both of my parents were born into poor families on the island of Cuba....” — Marco Rubio Quote

“Both of my parents were born into poor families on the island of Cuba. They came to America because it was the only place where people like them could have a chance.”

“Let's stop talking about new taxes and start talking about creating new taxpayers, which basically means jobs.”

“Whether the earth was created in seven days or seven actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.”

“I don't think it is so difficult to solve the problems between Cuba and the United States; it all depends on whether there is a dialogue, a discussion, or if the prejudices and hatred of people like the extremists and terrorists from the Cuban community, who try to impose their policies, prevail.”

“People in America think of it as a sad and downtrodden place, and I guess it could be, but it's not because that's not who Cubans are. In Cuba, you get a good story every day you go out walking. People are so funny.”
