America has the highest standard of living of any major country in the entire world. To maintain and enhance that standard of living, America should continue to embrace those qualities which have made America great: openness and dynamism. Openness to new technologies, new ideas and new people is America's greatest source of strength.

The United States is still an enormous generator of innovation, from which other nations have long benefitted. But we now also have the opportunity to benefit from innovation taking place around the world.

The single most important factor in determining America's success in the 21st century will be maintaining our ability to be an innovative and creative society.

The United States is definitely ahead in culture of innovation. If someone wants to accomplish great things, there is no better place than the U.S.

The American people are among the most productive in the world. We have the best technologies. We have great universities. We have entrepreneurs.

For over two centuries, Americans have grown up in a society that rewards hard work, protects innovation, and allows its citizens to constantly break new barriers. The key element to this success rests on freedom and the ability of individuals to strive toward achieving their dreams and making their children's futures better than their own.

America's competitive advantage lies in its human talent. All of us should be doing everything we can to cultivate and develop our work force.

Diversity is America's most valuable resource. It is what makes us the most innovative nation on Earth.

From leading the world into the age of democracy to spearheading the technological revolution, America has always been at the forefront of greatness.

We in the majority have worked hard to empower people to create opportunities, to make jobs, to do things that turn America into a place where people can achieve their dreams.
