Since when do we in America believe that our society is made up of two diametrically opposed classes - one rich, one poor - both in a permanent state of conflict and neither able to get ahead except at the expense of the other? Since when do we in America accept this alien and discredited theory of social and class warfare? Since when do we in America endorse the politics of envy and division?

America's foreign policy supports freedom, democracy, and human dignity for all mankind, and we make no apologies for it. The opportunity society that we want for ourselves we also want for others, not because we're imposing our system on others but because those opportunities belong to all people as God-given birthrights and because by promoting democracy and economic opportunity we make peace more secure.

These young Americans sent a message to terrorists everywhere. . . . You can run but you can't hide.

The American dream is not that every man must be level with every other man. The American dream is that every man must be free to become whatever God intends he should become.

I've always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world would disappear if we were talking to each other instead of about each other.

Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring democracy the tolerance it requires to survive

Our whole system of government is based on "We the people," but if we the people don't pay attention to what's going on, we have no right to bellyache or squawk when things go wrong.
