And a special thank you to the citizens of Massachusetts: You are paying all the taxes, creating all the jobs, raising all the children. This government is yours. Thank you for letting me serve you. I love this job.
America is not better off than it was $1.8 trillion dollars ago.
America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home.
You must first get along with yourself before you can get along with others.
You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader.
You can learn a lot from people who view the world differently than you do.
Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
When you're young, try to be realistic; as you get older, become idealistic. You'll live longer.
When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.
Transcend political correctness and strive for human righteousness.
The rules have changed. True power is held by the person who possesses the largest bookshelf, not gun cabinet or wallet.
The people who oppose your ideas are inevitably those who represent the established order that your ideas will upset.
The only real failure in life is one not learned from.
The most important things in life aren't things.
The greatest gift that you can give yourself is a little bit of your own attention.
Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.
Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.
Run to meet the future or it's going to run you down.
