I stand on the shoulders of giants.

Materialism alone will not fulfill the possibilities of your existence.

Better is not good enough. Until we have absolute equality in this country, we must continue to work.

We must also preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs.

The time has come for us to seize those opportunities.

That effort begins with a clear and strong commitment to the security of Israel: our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy.

As the U.S. redeploys from Iraq, we can recapture lost influence in the Middle East.

The threat of violence is real. Our job is to renew the United States' efforts to help Israel achieve peace with its neighbors while remaining vigilant against those who do not share this vision.

Peace with security. That is the Israeli people's overriding wish.

It is far too dangerous to have nuclear weapons in the hands of a radical theocracy.

History has a terrible way of repeating itself.

Our job is to do more than lay out another road map; our job is to rebuild the road to real peace and lasting security throughout the region.

I opposed this war from the beginning - in part because I believed that giving this President the open-ended authority to invade Iraq would lead to the open-ended occupation we find ourselves in today.

I am proud to introduce the Voter Advocate and Democracy Index Act of 2007 with the goal of having the Act help inform voters and State officials on how well their States are doing on a basic set of procedural standards for making polls…

I think the entire failure, not just restricted to Walter Reed, but overall, is scandalous. The fact that we have got veterans who are homeless and going through Dumpsters is scandalous.

My sense is that Mr. Geffen may have differences with the Clintons. That doesn't really have anything to do with our campaign.

It's not clear to me why I -- why would I be apologizing for someone else's remarks?

He has to stand up on his own two feet.

My sense is, is that Mr. Geffen may have differences with the Clintons. That doesn't really have anything to do with our campaign.

I will vote today to bring up a resolution for debate that would disapprove of the President's policy of escalation in Iraq. Last November, the American people sent a clear message to their representatives in Washington. With their votes…

I am proud of the fact that I opposed this war from the start.

So if he's ginned up to fight the good fight in Iraq, I would suggest that he calls up another 20,000 Australians and sends them to Iraq.

I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America. And if you will join with me in this improbable quest, if you feel Destiny calling and see as I see the future of endless possibilities…

He tells us that there is power in hope.
