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!

Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.

Those who occupy their minds with small matters, generally become incapable of greatness.

Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.
