There is a major ingredient missing from our perception of how changes are brought about; that ingredient is power.

We must renew democracy itself. We have to fight cynicism and inertia and restore faith in the advancement of our country.

The future will not belong to those who sit on the sidelines. The future will not belong to the cynics. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

...how can we live in the richest, most privileged country in the world, at the peak of its economic performance, and still hear the Republicans, and too many Democrats, that we cannot afford to provide a good education for every child, that we cannot afford to provide health security for all our citizens?

The best kind of politics is when you help people become their own best selves.

The idea of democracy has been stripped of it moral imperatives and come to denote hollowness and hypocrisy.

The only way to change is to vote. People are responsible.
