I happen to respect people who are willing to come under public scrutiny and serve their country.

A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little.

The problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.

What my campaign is about is a political revolution - millions of people standing up and saying, enough is enough. Our government belongs to all of us, and not just the hand full of billionaires.

An America where every person, no matter their race, their disability or their sexual orientation realizes the full promise of equality that is our birthright as Americans.

It's better to show up than to give up.

It's time to make our government work for all of us... and not just the 1%.

Real change never occurs from the top on down, [but] always from the bottom on up.

It costs a hell of a lot more money to put somebody in jail than send them to the University of Virginia.

The point is change can come about, but it only comes about when millions of people are actively involved in political struggle, the billionaires may have the money, but we have the people.

What kind of nation are we when we give tax breaks to billionaires, but we can't take care of the elderly and the children.

Intelligent men are dangerous.

When he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fineThat all the world will be in love with nightAnd pay no worship to the garish sun.

...but he tightened his grip so he could kiss my mangled middle finger. Yes, yes, I know. He put his mouth on a part of my body. I'm surprised I'm still conscious enough to talk about it.

Refusing to focus on your past disappointments creates a great opportunity for you to give an undivided attention to your present.

Our noblest purpose in life is to remember our spiritual nature in the face of suggestions that we are a material society.

I think as a kid I always liked to listen to people. I loved hearing stories.

There's a little blackness inside all of us.

Ahimsa must express itself through acts of selfless service of the masses.
