Quotes

• “Earlier today we heard the beginning of the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States. ‘We the people.’ It is a very eloquent beginning. But, when that document was completed on the seventeenth of September in 1787, I was not included in that ‘We, the people.’ I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But, through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, I have finally been included in ‘We, the people.’”
• “My faith in the Constitution is whole; it is complete; it is total. I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution.”
• “A spirit of harmony will survive in America only if each of us remembers that we share a common destiny; if each of us remembers, when bitterness and self-interest seem to prevail, that we share a common destiny.”
• “What people want is simple. They want an America as good as its promise.”
• “You need a core inside you—a core that directs everything you do. You confer with it for guidance. It is not negotiable.”
• “This country can ill afford to continue to function using less than half of its human resources, less than half its kinetic energy, less than half its brain power.”
