The classroom - not the trench - is the frontier of freedom now and forevermore.

In a thousand unseen ways we have drawn shape and strength from the land.

Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.

I'm the only president you've got.

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