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!

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Many are they who have a taste and love for drawing, but no talent; and this will be discernible in boys who are not diligent and never finish their drawings with shading.

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

Our patience will achieve more than our force.
