Treatments and therapies have never been better in the face of this disease. You have every reason to be optimistic, determined, and focused on the future. My only other advice is to cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey, as I have done this summer.

Are we allowed to sing? I imagine that at times, it might improve the tone of the debate.

I don't know why we'd need so many more prisons when the crooks seem so happy in the Senate.

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.

You can wait forever for perfect conditions or you can make do with what you have.

I want to share with you my belief in your power to change this country and this world.

Cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey.
