“We, in this country, in this generation, are - by destiny rather than by choice - the watchmen on the walls of world freedom.”

“The beauty of life lies in our ability to recognize that we have freedom of choice, that we have a hand in shaping our destiny.”

“Regardless of the country it is practised in, most of hospital medicine is painting over the cracks rather than fixing the wall.”

“The new architecture and urban design of segregation could be called Calvinist: they reflect a desire to live in a world of predestination rather than chance, to strip the world of its wide-open possibilities and replace them with freedom of choice in the marketplace.”

“The job facing American voters… in the days and years to come is to determine which hearts, minds and souls command those qualities best suited to unify a country rather than further divide it, to heal the wounds of a nation as opposed to aggravate its injuries, and to secure for the next generation a legacy of choices based on informed awareness rather than one of reactions based on unknowing fear.”

“If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.”
