The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth

Character is a journey, not a destination.

By lifting the weakest, poorest among us, we lift the rest of us as well.

Politics is not religion and we should govern on the basis of evidence, not theology.

Success is not the measure of a man but a triumph over those who choose to hold him back.

As we become ever more diverse, we must work harder to unite around our common values and our common humanity.
