We must have faith in the people of this country and faith in our principles.

Excellence does not begin in Washington.

We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry. We must condemn those who seek to divide us. In all quarters and at all times, we must teach tolerance and denounce racism, anti-Semitism and all ethnic or religious bigotry wherever they exist as unacceptable evils. We have no place for haters in America -- none, whatsoever.

Government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.
