It's been a great privilege to serve the people of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is home to some of the hardest-working, toughest, most decent people in America.

We are the second oldest state in the Union because too many of our young people are leaving Pennsylvania. They are leaving Pennsylvania behind for opportunities elsewhere.

I love the dignity in the name Philadelphia, but at heart, we're Philly.

My father's family came from Virginia and Philadelphia. He wasn't a brother who talked a lot. He was a workingman, a quiet, blue-collar dude.

I've lived in New York for thirty years now, but I'm a proud Pittsburgher, and home is home. My family's still in Pittsburgh.

The distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders are no more. I am not a Virginian but an American.

Joe Paterno was a well-educated man, and he was also a man from a different time.

We tend to prefer candidates that don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
