"To be an American is to subscribe to those principles which the Declaration of Independence proclaims and the Constitution protects--the political values of self-government, liberty and justice, equal..."

"I am very proud to welcome all of you as fellow citizens of the United States of America."

"We must ensure each citizen's right to privacy."

"Their restless search for a better life was begun in the spirit of adventure, but it was the spirit of sacrifice that sustained them."
