National isolation breeds national neurosis.

Just be what you are and speak from your guts and heart - it's all a person has.

The gap between the rich and the poor is the most dangerous threat to world peace we have.

If I believe in something, I will fight for it, with all I have. But I do not demand all or nothing. I would rather get something than nothing.

We live by hope. We do not ever get all we want when we want it. But we have to believe that someday, somehow, some way, it will be better and that we can make it so.

You cannot tell a poor boy from a small country town on the plains of South Dakota who has had the opportunity to be a teacher, a mayor, a senator, and a vice president, that America is not a nation of promise.

This, then, is the test we must set for ourselves; not to march alone but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us.
