"It is a great privilege for Barbara and me to be up with you today."

"I view this degree as a very high honor from an institution for which I have unlimited respect."

"I have sought, and will continue to seek, a line-item veto to prevent such embarrassments and protect the American people from injudicious appropriation."

"The common thread of commitment, individual commitment, runs through all successful efforts to solve our most intractable problems."
