Effort, not ability, makes the biggest difference in achievement.
If there's grass in the field, play ball!
Everybody counts, everybody deserves a chance, everybody has a responsible role to play and we all do better when we work together.
The American people have now spoken, but it's going to take a little while to determine what they've said.
Tonight, I propose a 21st Century Crime Bill to deploy the latest technologies and tactics to make our communities even safer. Our balanced budget will help put up to 50,000 more police on the street in the areas hardest hit by crime, and then to equip them with new tools from crime-mapping computers to digital mug shots. We must break the deadly cycle of drugs and crime.
The new century demands new partnerships for peace and security. The United Nations plays a crucial role, with allies sharing burdens America might otherwise bear alone. America needs a strong and effective U.N. I want to work with this new Congress to pay our dues and our debts.

I have said many times-if I hadn't been exposed to music as a child I don't think I would have been president.
I do not believe we can repair the basic fabric of society until people who are willing to work have work. Work organizes life. It gives structure and discipline to life.
We're all in this together is a far better philosophy than you're on your own.
