I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office.

From a philosophical perspective, I want to fight off isolationism and protectionism, be it part of another voice out there that says, wait a minute, what matters to women in Afghanistan matters to America. An isolationist point of view says it doesn't matter. The articulation of "all life matters" helps frame the case that it does matter what happens to a woman in Afghanistan.

The great contest for the presidency is about the future, who can lead, who can get things done.

The easiest time to be faithful is during a time of crisis. The hardest time for faith is when all is well.

What people can't possibly imagine is what it's like to have two presidents who have a relationship as father and son.

Culture of life is really important for a country to have if it's going to be a hospitable society.

There are a lot of tactical decisions that, if I could have done them over, I would have.
