I'm not much into speculation.

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.

The number one responsibility for each of us is to change ourselves with hope that others will follow.

People can hurt you, but you can still love.People can betray you, but you can still trust.People can put you down, but you can still rise.People can oppose you, but you can still prevail.

Accept life on life's terms and just let things go.

It's not the hair on your head that matters. It's the kind of hair you have inside.

I did not know from a scientific perspective why I did not believe in evolution - but I knew from a Biblical perspective it had to be wrong or my faith was in trouble.

To believe yourself brave is to be brave; it is the one only essential thing.

The idea is to identify a destructive thought pattern, then simply label it and watch it and let it pass by whenever it appears in your mind.

It's possible and available to any artist to be himself or herself on their own terms, to be accepted and embraced by black people. You don't have to be a thug to get love from black people.

When all is lost, when all is let go of, when all is abandoned, what you are left with is an ocean of bliss.

I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.
