Quote

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.

Good is the enemy of great.

Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation - not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.

Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

America's greatness is largely because of how we value the weakest among us.

Don't be afraid to give up the good for the great.

We the people have the strength to bring our country from our weak-kneed stumbling gait in the last ranks of reason to the leadership of the great march to environmental victory.

If you want to be like the greats, you learn from the greats.
