The day I'm inaugurated, this country looks at itself differently and the world looks at America differently. If you believe that we've got to heal America and we've got to repair our standing in the world, then I think my supporters believe that I am a messenger who can deliver that message around the world in a way that no other candidate can do.

Sustaining the energy and focus involved in doing a good job I think starts to gets tougher the longer you do it.

make away out of no way

America is a strong and resilient country. And I know we will succeed, if we put aside partisanship and politics and work together as one nation.

We can’t afford to be so worried about losing the next election that we lose the battles we owe to the next generation. The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result. And that’s a risk we can’t take.

I've come to embrace the notion that I haven't done enough in my life. I've come to confirm that one's title, even a title like president of the United States, says very little about how well one's life has been led. No matter how much you've done or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.

I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.
