I stand before you to proclaim tonight: America is the land where dreams can come true for all of us.

Every time a woman runs, women win.

Tonight, the daughter of an immigrant from Italy has been chosen to run for vice president in the new land my father came to love.

By choosing a woman to run for your nation's second highest office, you send a powerful signal to all Americans. There are no doors we cannot unlock. We will place no limits on achievement.

I do believe in the power of prayer.

I don't like to practice ahead of time what I'm going to say.

I knew what leukemia and lymphoma were, but I had never heard of multiple myeloma.
