The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals.

I've absolutely lived the American dream.

For many, the American dream has become a nightmare.

I define the American dream as the ability to imagine a way that you want your life to turn out, and have a reasonable hope that you can achieve that.

A basic element of the American dream is equal access to education as the lubricant of social and economic mobility.

The American dream belongs to all of us.

I think the American Dream used to be achieving one's goals in your field of choice - and from that, all other things would follow. Now, I think the dream has morphed into the pursuit of money: Accumulate enough of it, and the rest will follow.

I've lived the American dream.

I am definitely most proud of 'American Dreams.'

If you stop and think about our history, one of the reasons we had an American century and there is an American dream was because at key points in our history we made very bold decisions about making sure that there was very broad, universal access to quality education.
