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!

I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

It is a mania shared by philosophers of all ages to deny what exists and to explain what does not exist.

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

We shall see but a little way if we require to understand what we see.
