Preferring members of any one group for no reason other than race or ethnic origin is discrimination for its own sake. This the Constitution forbids.

Leadership is solving problems.

When you help the poorest in the world, you start to move them up an economic and social ladder, and they're not going to be moving toward violence or terrorism of the kind that we worry about.

Respect for leaders by followers can't be mandated; it must be earned. It has to be given to leaders by their followers.

Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?

Don't bother people for help without first trying to solve the problem yourself.

We want to approach this in a multilateral way, talking with our friends, consulting with our security council colleagues in the United Nations, hoping to find a way to solve this peacefully, but at the same time recognising that unless the threat of military force is there, Iraq will not disarm.
