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.

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

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

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