Opportunity

Today, more than ever before, people across the globe do have the opportunity to reach their God-given potential.

The American dream doesn't guarantee results for anybody.

The Government's job is to expand opportunity while shrinking Government bureaucracy.

There have been few times in history when mankind has had such an opportunity to enhance peace.

Our job here is to expand opportunity, not bureaucracy— to empower people to make the most of their own lives.

America works best when everybody's got a chance at the brass ring.

Every American now wants Government to expand opportunity and to shrink bureaucracy.

I believe we should give people the opportunity to move from dependence to independence.

We know we must continue to invest in our own people, to empower individuals to take advantage of the opportunities of the global economy.

Today, our job again is to persuade people that democracy and free markets can give all people the opportunity to live out their dreams.

You can't give somebody an education, you can only give them the opportunity for an education.

Opportunity and responsibility: They go hand in hand.

It gives Americans the chance to arm themselves for the new economy.

The most important civil right is the right to dream the American dream and to have the opportunity to live it.

Every American deserves a piece of the American dream.

To give people opportunity, to treat them with fairness, and to distinguish them only by their potential—we will continue to work toward these goals as long as people in this Nation are in need of housing, medical care, and subsistence.

I believe that we need a new sense in this country that the Government's job is to do what it can to provide more opportunity, but we need more responsibility from our citizens as well.

We have a golden opportunity here to add $1,700 in income to the average family's income in this country over the next few years.
