We knew it would not be easy, and it has not been.

Free to pursue happiness—not have it guaranteed to us; free to pursue it—and in the process, we will work to form a more perfect Union.

I believe all kids can learn.

We need to modernize that system so we can preserve it.

That confidence should not be grounds for complacency; it should be a spur to action.
