Political Quotes

“We talk about democracy, American democracy, we often talk about the ideals of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. What we don't talk about is how hard it is. How many ways we're asked to walk away, how many instincts are to walk away. The most natural instinct is to walk away - to be selfish, to force our will upon others, to seize power, never give it up. American democracy asks the hardest of things - to believe that we're a part of something bigger than ourselves.”
