A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.

Unfortunately, our affluent society has also been an effluent society.

Liberalism, above all, means emancipation - emancipation from one's fears, his inadequacies, from prejudice, from discrimination, from poverty.

Behind every successful man is a proud wife and a surprised mother-in-law.

What do we want for people? Human dignity, personal expression and fulfillment, justice, freedom.

I am not here to judge whether people are locked in poverty because of themselves or because of the society in which they live. All I know is that they are there and we are trying to do something about it.

Our greatest songs are still unsung.
