If politics were a musical, it would be "Promises, Promises".

The signs of the Vietnam War protestors said "Make Love not War!" It didn't seem to me that they were capable of either.

The purpose of America is to unleash the full talent and genius of every individual.

Where others fear trade and economic growth, we see opportunities for creating new wealth and undreamed-of opportunities for millions in our own land and beyond. Where others seek to throw up barriers, we seek to bring them down; where others take counsel of their fears, we follow our hopes.

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.

Peace is more than just an absence of war. True peace is justice, true peace is freedom, and true peace dictates the recognition of human rights.

You know, if Nancy Davis hadn't come along when she did, I would have lost my soul.
