“Our dreams must be stronger than our memories. We must be pulled by our dreams, rater than pushed by our memories.”

We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but from the manger up.

I cast my bread on the waters long ago. Now it’s time for you to send it back to me – toasted and buttered on both sides.

We’ve removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.

Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.

Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.

I know they are all environmentalists. I heard a lot of my speeches recycled.

George Bush has met more foreign heads of state than I have. But a substantial number of them were dead.

People like to say don’t abort, adopt. But I’m saying don’t strip, scholarship.

The poor and the working poor have been locked out of the nation’s consciousness, even by the media and by many ministers. Katrina washed away the debris that was covering the locked out and left behind.

I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That’s what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.

Weak mortals, chained to the earth, creatures of clay as frail as the foliage of the woods, you unfortunate race, whose life is but darkness, as unreal as a shadow, the illusion of a dream.

Now, women forget all those things they don’t want to remember, and remember everything they don’t want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.
