“Let us be bold enough and free enough to follow the great examples - the men of good will and honor who put aside little ways and petty hatreds to build the American dream.”

“Honesty is as rare as a man without self-pity.”

“Truth is a hard deer to hunt. If you eat too much truth at once, you may die of the truth.”

“Americans are right to believe the American Dream is fading. But that dream only became a possibility for white men as a result of the labor struggles and reforms of the New Deal, and it began to extend to minorities and women only after the civil rights and women's movements of the 1960s and 1970s.”

“I think most voters want to believe and do believe in the American dream. I think when they see examples of that being true, that gives them some hope.”

“You know that American dream and American spirit of innovation we always talk about? Turns out, the bulk of it was built by people who came to America from somewhere else, not people born American. We have no birthright or natural lock on these things.”
