“When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable.”

I am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions. We should not spend state funds on abortions because so many people believe abortion is wrong.

So much of modern politics is focused not on honest differences of policy but on personal attacks.

I’ve been in politics long enough to expect criticism and hostility. But I was unprepared for the hatred I get from Christians. Why do Christians hate so much?.

Keep your eyes on the prize and don’t turn back.

We must teach our children to resolve their conflicts with words, not weapons.

Sometimes there is a difference in what is legal and what ought to be done.

Today’s possibilities are not tomorrows guarantees.

Abortion should not only be safe and legal, it should be rare.

You can put wings on a pig, but you don’t make it an eagle.

Everybody counts, everybody deserves a chance, everybody has a responsible role to play and we all do better when we work together.

Let’s create an integrated global community where we have shared benefits and responsibilities, and we don’t fight because of our differences.

We cannot build our own future without helping others to build theirs.

Success is not the measure of a man but a triumph over those who choose to hold him back.

If you want to have a good life you have to have some constructive outlet for your feelings.

I misled people, including even my wife.

Globalisation is not something that we can hold off or turn off. It is the economic equivalent of a force of nature, like wind or water.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

Forbearance in the face of fate, beauty constant under torture, are not merely passive. They are a positive achievement, an explicit triumph.

I never thought of becoming an actress, but I always dreamt of winning a beauty pageant, and I achieved that.

In order for me to achieve… I had to regard myself greater than what I was. In other words I had to fake it until I make it.

The future is not a gift: it is an achievement. Every generation helps make its own future. This is the essential challenge of the present.

Physical fitness is extremely important to me. Only if you are fit will you be able to achieve whatever you want to achieve in life; you will be able to pursue your dreams, your ambition, you goals, and the things you love.

Illiteracy must be banished from the land if we shall attain that high destiny as the foremost of the enlightened nations of the world which, under Providence, we ought to achieve.

There’s nothing better than achieving your goals, whatever they might be.
