I see Americans of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together: black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American; young, old; gay, straight; men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance under the same proud flag to this big, bold country that we love. That's what I see. That's the America I know!

The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.

The point - the power to hurt - of all figures lies in the truthfulness of their application.
