"Recognizing and confronting our history is important. Transcending our history is essential. We are not limited by what we have done, or what we have left undone. We are limited only by what we are willing to do." "A democracy is ruled by consensus, not by edict. Laws are changed as minds are persuaded." "In the final analysis, there is no overcoming without faith - be it drugs or alcohol or poverty or selfishness or flawed social policy." "Government can hand out money, but it cannot put hope in our hearts or a sense of purpose in our lives. It cannot bring us peace of mind. It cannot fill the sprirtual well from which we draw our strength day to day. Only faith can do that." "I don't need a poll or a focus group to know what I believe." "If you don't feel something strongly you're not going to achieve." "I'm living proof you can get a C average and still succeed." "Real improvement in our schools is not simply a matter of spending more, it is a matter of expecting more." "We are not the sum of our possessions." "We sue each other too much and care for each other too little." "What's relevant is what I have learned from my mistakes that I made. I do not want to send signals to anybody that what Governor Bush did 30 years ago is cool to try."
