"We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry. We must condemn those who seek to divide us. In all quarters and at all times, we must teach tolerance and denounce racism, anti-Semitism and all ethnic or religious bigotry wherever they exist as unacceptable evils.

The legalization provisions in this act will go far to improve the lives of a class of individuals who now must hide in the shadows, without access to many of the benefits of a free and open society. Very soon many of these men and women will be able to step into the sunlight and, ultimately, if they choose, they may become Americans."

"Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God."
"There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit."

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it. ... The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much."
"The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things."
"A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation."
