The US presidential election isn't until November 2016, and yet the candidates have been blessing us with their wisdom for months already, so we're grateful when wit creeps in too... it keeps it interesting. Thanks, Donald Trump.
On repentance
"I am not sure I have [ever asked for forgiveness]. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so. I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't." – Family Leadership Summit, July 2015
Just look at that face. Nothing to apologise for, here.
On his own ability
"I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created." – Presidential announcement speech, 16 June, 2015
On his favourite Bible verses
"I wouldn't want to get into it because to me that's very personal. You know, when I talk about the Bible, it's very personal, so I don't want to get into verses. The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics." –Bloomburg interview, August 2015
On his achievements
"Everything I've done virtually has been a tremendous success." – Second GOP debate, 16 September, 2015
On climate change
It's really cold outside, they are calling it a major freeze, weeks ahead of normal. Man, we could use a big fat dose of global warming!

On relationships
"I would never buy Ivana [his former wife] any decent jewels or pictures. Why give her negotiable assets?" - Vanity Fair interview, 1990
On Obama
An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

Which famously prompted this hilarious response from the President:
On politics
"One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don't go into government." – Advocate magazine interview, September 2015
Have we witnessed Trump's most humble moment?
On healthcare
No more massive injections. Tiny children are not horses—one vaccine at a time, over time.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 3, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">You can't fault his logic.
On America's obesity crisis
I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.

Nothing to see here.
On diplomacy
"Somebody better start thinking about North Korea." – Second GOP debate, 16 September, 2015
Really, what were we doing before this guy came along?
