Leadership is about calling people to do things beyond themselves.

We know from past history that when young people vote for one party a couple of times, they tend to vote for that party during their adult lifetimes in disproportionate numbers.

One cannot underestimate how widely admired Tom Daschle is in Washington for his integrity.

It’s easy to confuse motion with progress.

I think it's particularly raw coming the day after the Electoral College, and Bill Clinton, he's taking this hard. It's been very hard to him. He thought his wife was gonna win. He believed she should have won. I think he believes, basically, it was an unfair result.

There is a cannibalism that's loose in our society in which public figures such as the Clintons could try to come into this town and do something good for this country and then they get hammered away even though they're trying to do the right thing.

The proudest moment for [a teacher of leaders] is seeing not what students learn but what they do.
