What people can dream, people can do.

I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein.

Life really is a series of contrasts.

I'm comfortable moving into the role of elder person.

I wouldn't pick a judge who said that the Pledge of Allegiance couldn't be said in a school because it had the words 'under God'' in it. I think that's an example of a judge allowing personal opinion to enter into the decision-making process, as opposed to strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Our two nations both faced great challenges when they were founded, and our two nations have both relied on the same principles to help us succeed. We've built strong democracies to protect the freedoms given to us by an Almighty God. We've welcomed immigrants, who have helped us thrive. We've built prosperous economies by rewarding innovation and risk-taking and trade. And we've built an enduring alliance to confront terrorists and tyrants.

When your economy is kind of ooching along, it's important to let people have more of their own money.
