“You do have to change things as warfare changes.”

I’m not sure we will have every single Democrat, but we want a large number of Republicans to be able to vote for this bill because we think that will encourage the House not only to move forward but to pass a bill.

I want to attract the best people into teaching.

Our job is going to be to hold Donald Trump and the Republican majority accountable.

When one has success, the answer is not to undo that success. It is to continue what has been done.

The currency bill we have would finally do something for China`s rapacious policies.

Republicans always try to paint Democrats as weak on defense. This time, they can’t. After all, Mitt Romney’s idea of an overseas accomplishment is sending U.S. jobs there.

What we are going to do as Democrats is put together a really strong platform that focuses on jobs and economic issues.

The only way we’re gonna work with Donald Trump is if he moves completely in our direction and abandons his Republican colleagues.

The greatest problem America faces is the decline of middle class incomes.

The only people who use them [so-called assault weapons] are mass murderers.

When the President starts talking about something, it makes a difference.

But I don’t think the Democratic Party is at eye level with the middle class.

When you run for president you have certain obligations. One of them would be to avoid even the appearance of conflicts of interest.

Bigotry has always been the poison of America, and we oughta do everything to eradicate it with no excuses or explanations.

I am deeply skeptical of trade deals in general.But the only way they can get a number of Democrats is by doing a strong real currency bill that goes after the worst of the trading partners, the one that`s stealing our high-end jobs.

All we ask for is registration, just like we do for cars.

In the blink of an eye everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may not have that chance again.

I could never pretend something I didn’t feel. I could never make love if I didn’t love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.

The way to change others’ minds is with affection, and not anger.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Things do not change; we change.

People do change.

That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.

Change is the immediate responsibility of each of us, wherever and however we are standing, in whatever arena we choose.
