This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.
This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.
Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.
And as I leave, let me say, that is an example I think all of us should remember.
