In the whole history of this country, we have probably won more friends from the power of our example than from the power of our military.
What happened to us in September, 2001, is a microcosmic but painful and powerful example of the fact we live in an inter-dependent world that is not yet an integrated global community.
As we have throughout this century, we will lead with the power of our example, but be prepared, when necessary, to make an example of our power.
from Bill Clinton speech- People are more impressed by the power of our example rather than the example of our power...
There is no example on the planet of a successful economy with broadly shared prosperity and a shrinking, weak government.

Where are the jobs going to come from? Small business, manufacturing and clean energy. Where's the money to finance them? The banks and the corporations in America today have lots of money that they can invest right now.
I still believe in a place called Hope.
Literacy is not a luxury, it is a right and a responsibility.
True Excellence requires a worthy dream, a good Idea of how to realize it and the courage to risk failure to achieve it.
