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!

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

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

If women have young children, they are one man away from welfare.

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
