What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.

I really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It’s a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that’s what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future.

We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.

No other country in the world does what we do. On every issue, the world turns to us, not simply because of the size of our economy or our military might – but because of the ideals we stand for, and the burdens we bear to advance them.

The Global Fund is a central player in the progress being achieved on HIV, TB and malaria. It channels resources to help countries fight these diseases. I believe in its impact because I have seen it firsthand.

New roads; new ruts.

Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?

Even as you make progress, you need the discipline to keep from backtracking and sabotaging the success as it’s happening.

The best road to progress is freedom’s road.

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.

The United States has to move very fast to even stand still.

It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.

A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.

I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
