I will not seek, and I will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president.

The Organization of American States couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.

What we won when all of our people united just must not now be lost in suspicion, distrust, selfishness, and politics among any of our people. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.

For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest that is sleeping in the unplowed ground.

I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling rejected by the American people. I'm tired of waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the war.

I feel like I just grabbed a big juicy worm with a right sharp hook in the middle of it.

Our understanding of how to live with one another is still far behind our knowledge of how to destroy one another.
