Quotes

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

"By lifting the weakest, poorest among us, we lift the rest of us as well."

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

"There is a whole world out there that needs you, down the street or across the ocean. Give. You don't need to be wealthy or famous to make a difference. Every action matters. Big or small, the point is to do something to make your community and our world a better place."

"For too long we've been told about "us" and "them." Each and every day we see.... arguments and ads telling us that "they" are the problem, not "us." But there can be no "them" in America. There's only us."

First Inaugural Address, January, 1993: "When our founders boldly declared American's independence to the world and our purposes to the Almighty, they knew that America, to endure, would have to change. Not change for change's sake, but change to preserve America's ideas: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. Each generation of Americans must define what it means to be an American."

"The distinction of modern civilization is a willingness to plan for the future."

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

"By raising the weakest and poorest among us, we lift ourselves as well."

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

"The single attribute that marks human civilization is our willingness and ability to plan for the future."

"There's a whole world out there that needs you, down the street or across the ocean. Give. You don't need to be wealthy or famous to make a difference. Every action matters. Big or small, the point is to do something to make your community and our world a better place."
