We're coming to the peak, I think soon, before we have to come back to, like, humanity. Humanity needs to look, and it hasn't been looking for so long.

We have got to stop being a society that turns our heads and looks the other way.

I really believe that all of us, as Americans... we all need to be treated like fellow human beings.

We Americans look at the last 300 years of history, and we basically see a world that's getting better and better. The rule of freedom expands. The economy develops. We have risen to become the world's greatest power.

After all, when the world looks to America, they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history.

America is the sum of all our journeys as we search for our national community and our national culture.

I think of myself as a plain human being who happens to be an American.

The American Way is an amalgam of our compassion, our strengths, our failings and our attempts to build a better world, a more perfect union.

I think we have gotten to a point as Americans, unfortunately, where we take for granted the magic that life brings and that life is really special and every life matters. We tend to go through life but not take the moment to step back and remember you are here, right now, for a very finite amount of time.
