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

The great and admirable strength of America consists in this, that America is truly the American people.

One thing that is not to be underestimated is American culture's influence on the rest of the world.

Remember, America's greatness is based on creating wealth like the rest of the world has never known, and then, making sure it's shared throughout a middle class and even the underprivileged.

America's greatness is not found in the size of its government. America's greatness resides in the hearts and the minds of the people.

America is stronger than ever. We will forever remember those we lost on September 11, 2001. In honoring their memory, we will remain true to our commitment to freedom and democracy.

The American economic, political, and social organization has given to its citizens the benefits of material prosperity, political liberty, and a wholesome natural equality; and this achievement is a gain, not only to Americans, but to the world and to civilization.

The America I know is great - not because government made it great but because ordinary citizens like me, like my father and like you are given the opportunity every day to do extraordinary things.

This is what America is about when it comes to understanding that it is equal opportunity versus equal achievement. Each and every one of us has the opportunity for greatness in this country.

America is exceptional: but because it yields the likes of Obama, not the likes of Bush.
