In America, we have struggled too much, too long as a country trying to overcome racism and sexism and homophobia. We cannot go back to a more discriminatory society.

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.

It is not the time that a person has lived that determines maturity, but what he does during that time.

Her tears still lay, unattended, on my bosom...I wouldn't wipe them, for she might stop paying me visits.

Worrying is arrogant because God knows what He's doing.

If a little knowledge is dangerous - where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger?

We are half ruined by conformity, but we should be wholly ruined without it.

Separation of powers is a problem for foreign policy.

You have to stay one level above everyone else.

Where they come from matters. They're products of particular places and environments.

It's real hard to come up with something unique. We've seen just about everything over the last 10 years.

It's OK to wear the same thing every day.
