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!

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
