“You are Americans. You love this country. Together we are entrusted with the principles that represent mankind's greatest political and social achievement.”
“I'm certainly not sorry that there were some things I missed. You may think you're missing something at that time but later when you look at it, you didn't miss anything.”
“I have seen the future and it's like the present, only longer.”
“There are so many things to talk about between black people, Hispanic people, white people, gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear.
