My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total, and I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminuation, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution. It is reason and not passion which must guide our deliberations, guide our debate, and guide our decision.

We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community.

We are a people trying not only to solve the problems of the present: unemployment, inflation... but we are attempting on a larger scale to fulfill the promise of America.

A government is invigorated when each of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation.

What the people want is very simple - they want an America as good as its promise.

I never wanted to be run of the mill.

I never intended to be a run-of-the-mill person.
