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 longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.
