The worst lies in life are the ones we tell ourselves.

...can I tell you something...? I don't think you're in love with the past. I think you're scared of the future.

Not every President is a great speaker. Not every President is a great thinker. But in the modern era, every single President is a master of one thing: eye contact.

The past may not hurt you, but it won't challenge you, either.

When I was in that danger...I felt like I was shaken awake...after everything she made me feel...I made a decision and went to sleep. Do you know what that's like - trying to go to sleep, and lose yourself in the hopes of burying the worst fears in your life?...I wasn't in love with the past. I was terrified of my own future.

No matter how far we come, our parents are always in us.

Our fathers never leave us. Ever.
