There were lots of smart black people at Harvard before Barack Obama, but none of them ever got to head up the law review. There has been a history of discrimination.
I see the war problem as an economic problem, a business problem, a cultural problem, an educational problem - everything but a military problem. There's no military solution. There is a business solution - and the sooner we can provide jobs, not with our money, but the United States has to provide the framework.
You have to start living for something that's worth dying for.
Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fool reform, and mortal men lay hold on heaven.
Our school systems have to realize that everybody doesn't learn the same way, and no one learns without some emotional support.
Profits should be for a purpose. Profits should be productive. You should make money for producing benefits that make the world a better place. Making money is a good thing when it is made in service to humanity or the democracy.
Egypt's problem is that you've got an economy that works for about 40 million people, only you have 90 million people. The answer to the Egyptian problem is not guns, but jobs. We've got to find a private-sector, nongovernmental, aggressive way of creating jobs. That's not America's role totally.

There can be no democracy without truth. There can be no truth without controversy, there can be no change without freedom. Without freedom there can be no progress.
We've changed in the sense that we flipped - and this is no longer the Republican party of Lincoln. This is the party of suppression.
The government, whoever it is going to be, doesn't have a clear mandate. They will have to be doing compromises in policies to minority parties and you have in the minority parties some rather extreme views.
Neither sheep nor mavericks will ever get to the head of the class. Ignorance is forgivable, unorthodoxy is tolerated. Bad taste and expulsion are synonymous.
I told them after the game that I wasn't really mad at them, because we played really hard. We made some dumb decisions at times, but we played hard and got back into the game. The attitudes were good on the floor, because we have had some attitude problems. But we got out and hustled, and fought and fought and fought. And we had a chance to get back into the game.
