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.

Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.

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

To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.
