Joseph Biden actually said...

"Decency, honor, respect ' treating people with dignity' this is the code I've always lived by. It was my parents' code, and it will be my code as president."

"We must never forget that our democracy is only as strong as our commitment to it."

"May history be able to say that the end of this chapter of American darkness began here tonight as love and hope and light joined in the battle for the soul of the nation."

"We are a good and decent people. This is the United States of America."
