America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still.

America has much greatness left in her.

America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.

America is the light, and her people are the goodness that grows from that. She'll always be worth fighting for - it was my greatest honor to fight for her every day of my adult life.

For many, the American dream has become a nightmare.

You cannot give up on the American dream. We cannot allow our fears and our disappointments to lead us into silence and into inaction.

The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.

I have a dream that America will pray and God will forgive us our sins.

The American dream belongs to all of us.

The United States is the world's best hope, but if you fetter her in the interests and quarrels of other nations, if you tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you will destroy her power for good and endanger her very existence.
