people want ifs
If you want the things people don't have, you have to do the things other people will not do.
dream doors want
You cannot find what you do not seek. You cannot grasp when you do not reach. Your dreams won't come up to your front door. You have got to take a leap if you want to soar.
government bridges america
I hope and understand that people are getting a better recognition that food stamps is a program that really helps America, helps families in need. It's not a government handout. If anything, it's a safety net that helps people through difficult times and bridges them towards stability.
focus choices limits
The more you limit your choices, thereby limiting thought, the more you can simplify your life and focus your energy elsewhere.
change country choices
The change we seek for our nation is not the choice of an individual but must be the calling of a country.
calling opponents causes
We become distracted from productive labors by our perceived opponents; we become focused on them and not on our larger calling to advance our nation; our debate becomes more about scoring points against an adversary and less about advancing our common cause.
diversity flow hallmark
One of the very hallmarks of our nation is the ideal of E Pluribus Unum. It is a concept that richly flows from the highest ideals of our nation.
community movement progressive
As I review the great history of our nation, community organizers have been at the center of so many of our great social movements.
dream country reflection
The history in our country speaks to our highest values of people who did not accept things as they are and go along with them. They resisted, they refused to accept the world as it is, they demanded it to be a better reflection of their highest dreams and highest aspirations.
choices life-is where-you-are
Life is about where you are right now, and the choices you make.
life-is testimony who-you-are
Can you every single day tell a true testimony of who you are? That's really what life is about.
dream kindness distance
As you put your sights on your goals — no matter how great and compelling they are — as you look into the distance, don’t forget what is right in front of you today. No matter how great your dreams, no matter how great your destiny, the biggest thing you can do in any day is a small act of kindness.
dream children giving
You should be able to afford health care for your family. You should be able to retire with dignity and respect. And you should be able to give your children the kind of education that allows them to dream even bigger, go even farther and accomplish even more than you could ever imagine.
live-life heart soul
Never let your soul be silenced. Live life out loud. Every day tell your truth not with words but with actions from your heart.
